It's an exciting day for fans of CRPGs as a newly-released trailer has unveiled the much-anticipated arrival of Disco Elysium on Android. This isn't just a simple port; it's coming with distinctive new elements that promise to elevate the experience for mobile gamers.
For those unfamiliar, Disco Elysium immerses you in the role of amnesiac detective Harry Du Bois, tasked with solving a murder in the city of Revachol's Martinaise district. The game challenges you to interrogate suspects and navigate the city to untangle a complex web of conspiracies and conflicting stories.
The game's acclaim stems from its unique features, whether it's the unpredictable behavior of the protagonist, which players can choose to resist or embrace, or the profound philosophical dialogues between Harry and the characters he encounters. These elements have cemented Disco Elysium as a groundbreaking release in the genre.
Under normal circumstances, I'd be ecstatically shouting from the rooftops. With all-new art and gameplay mechanics, including immersive 360-degree scenes you can explore using your phone's camera, Disco Elysium is set to reach mobile platforms in arguably its best form yet.
However, the excitement is tempered by the backdrop of the well-publicized split between Zaum and several key members of the original design team, not to mention the subsequent layoffs and legal battles. Despite these challenges, it's nothing short of a miracle that Disco Elysium has made it to Android intact.
Whether this mobile port serves as a revitalization for Zaum or marks their final endeavor, it's poised to capture the attention of fans eagerly awaiting a CRPG with such depth in writing and content.
Disco Elysium is now open for pre-registration on Android, allowing fans to secure their spot for this highly anticipated release.
