'Assassin's Creed Identity': First 'Assassin's Creed' Mobile Game Coming to iOS This Month
Good news for "Assassin's Creed" fans who have been aching to play the game on their mobile devices. Ubisoft has recently announced the series' first mobile game will be coming to iOS this month.
The new game is titled "Assassin's Creed Unity." In it, players can "create, evolve, and customize" their own assassins. These assassins have been given the task to solve the mystery surrounding The Crows through a series of missions and quests.
Players start from being a novice assassin who belong to one of four classes, namely Berserker, Shadow Blade, Trickster, and Thief. According to IGN, the Berserker class specializes in direct combat, while the Shadow Blade class is great for players who want to have stealth on their side. The Thief class offers players agility and quick movement when they steal and lay traps. Meanwhile, the Trickster class is a jack-of-all trades sort of assassin.
