Crying Suns is a freelance science fiction roguelita often compared to FTL: Faster Than Light, but that’s only half the picture, as the game also offers a deep, story-rich experience. Well, it looks like Humble Bundle just brought the game to Android, and you can buy it today for $ 8.99. Clearly, the Humble Bundle is expanding its editorial arm, making Crying Suns the first publisher game to appear on the Google Play Store.
If you want to take a quick look at what to expect from Crying Suns, the preview above is a good start. As you can see, this is indeed a strategy game packed with menus and dense information. Clearly, this is not a game for the faint-hearted (or those who play on small screens), but rest assured, the story plays a bigger role than the tactical game, helping players return, but just for that long. This means you won’t be able to spend hundreds of hours on this title like you can on FTL, but rest assured the story is worth experiencing, and since there are over 300 possible story events, you will definitely get your money’s worth! . .
This brings me to the monetization of the game. Crying Suns is a premium launch on the Play Store, so there are no ads or in-app purchases to view. Starting today, you can purchase the Android version of Crying Suns for $ 8.99, which is $ 16 cheaper than the Steam version. Better yet, the Play Store description indicates that all future updates will come free to the game, which is a nice touch.
So if you’re looking for a nice strategy game for mobile, but you’re also looking for a Dune-inspired story worth the starting price, I highly recommend choosing Crying Suns. This is exactly the type of game that works great with touch controls, and unlike most mobile titles, it wasn’t designed from scratch as a money sump. Sure, $ 8.99 isn’t cheap for a mobile game, but if you have the funds to spare, you can get Crying Suns through the Play Store widget below.
