Square Enix is giving Android players on the go a chance to RPG it up with The World Ends With You: Solo Remix. Not some quick cash and dash either Square Enix has redone the art making it pop in HD, given your ears musical sensations of the highest caliber with 60 high quality sounds and enabled profile sharing so both your avatars and other gamers avatars will show up in each others game.
Sadly there’s also a weird twitter integration in The World Ends With You: Solo Remix where your avatar will think your latest tweet, I guess that’s only slightly less annoying than asking to share out your stats every time you beat monster. Supposedly they’ve also added a new addictive combat system, I’m sure we’ll get to know more once reviews start dropping from previous players just how great the new system is.
I’ll say one thing the screenshots they sent along sure do look nice so all that time they took to redo the art really paid off. The World Ends With You: Solo Remix has just the right amount of shading and small details to make it look better than your average flash game. The World Ends With You: Solo Remix is out now for $17.99 / £12.99 / €15.99 on the Google Play Store. If you’re surprised at the price take a look at other Square Enix titles on Android, The World Ends With You: Solo Remix falls in line with their top-tier pricing model.
