Square Enix’s hit action-RPG The World Ends With You is out for Android after a successful launch on iOS in 2012, with a facelift in the form of Solo Remix, a port with several new features. Solo Remix maintains the core of what made The World Ends With You unique and exciting, but modifies the DS game to play on one screen, and features newly redrawn artwork and full HD support.
The World Ends With You tells the story of Neku, a boy who wakes up in the busy city of Tokyo with no idea how he got there. Upon waking up, Neku receives a mysterious text message that reads: “Clear this mission… or face erasure.” From there, it’s up to you to solve the mystery of what’s going on before it’s too late.
Solo Remix adapts the dual-screen combat of the DS RPG by adding tapping, slashing, and dragging touch commands similar to the original stylus controls. The fusion system has also been revamped to match the new touch controls. The mobile port also includes the full 60-song soundtrack.
The World Ends With You: Solo Remix previously released for iOS and is now available on Android for $17.99. If you’re a fan of the RPG or are just getting excited about it now, check out this strong hint that a sequel may be in the works.
