Want to keep your cranium? Skulls of the Shogun to the rescue! The folks at 17-Bit have now announced a new way for you to stay at the top of your game no matter where you are.
From the press release:
Skulls of the Shogun will feature asynchronous cross-platform play between consoles, PCs, tablets, and phones. For the first time ever, players will be able to challenge their friends, fight their way through online multiplayer battles, and even take their single-player campaign on the road - whether they're playing on Xbox 360, Windows 8 PC, Windows Phone, or a Windows 8 tablet like Microsoft Surface.
"We call the online mode 'Skulls Anywhere', and we really do mean that," says Jake Kazdal, CEO of 17-BIT. "The turn-based nature of the game makes for perfect asynchronous play across every platform we're shipping on. You can start playing a game at home on your Xbox, then head out and play a few turns from the same game on your phone. You might be playing against someone on a PC or a tablet - everyone's connected via Xbox Live. And regardless of platform, everyone's having the same great experience, because it's the exact same game across all those devices."
Skulls of the Shogun supports cross-platform, asynchronous (turn-based) multiplayer for up to 4 players, allowing gamers to invite friends via Xbox Live - no matter what platform they're on. Notifications alert players to game invites and when it’s their turn to play. Cross-platform play applies to the game's extensive single-player campaign, too; progress may be saved to the cloud and resumed on any device.
Pretty neat stuff. So try to keep your head until the game is unleashed upon the living this Fall.
