Stellar Blademarks an interesting shift in direction for Korean developer Shift Up. Before beginning work on the game, they had only shipped a few projects, all of which were on mobile devices. This presents an interesting question: would these developers be able to properly scale their ambitions to a console release, delivering enough content to satisfy players?
If reviews are anything to go by, they’ve certainly succeeded. The critical praise might convince you to buy it, but in a landscape where amazing titles are coming out seemingly every week, it’s nice to know how long it takes to finish each game. So, how many hours will you be spending with Eve?
