After nearly 3 years of struggle, Kixeye launches its spectacular War Commander: Rogue Assault

It took almost three years of development, but Kixeye is finally launching its ambitious mobile game War Commander: Rogue Assault. The military game looks visually spectacular with its high-end graphics on a mobile device, and it might be exactly what a lot of hardcore mobile gamers are looking for as the holidays approach.

Rogue Assault’s creative director was veteran game developer Louis Castle, the co-creator of the original Command & Conquer real-time strategy series. And Castle said in an interview with GamesBeat that the development of the game, which included 2.5 years of testing prototypes in smaller markets, has paid off with a title that he hopes will resonate with players who are tired of games that are advertised as looking great and really aren’t when you actually play them. The game debuts today on iOS and Android.
