Square Enix has released an iPad version of its iOS-exclusive role-playing game Chaos Rings, and has dropped the price of every other game in its App Store catalog to mark the occasion.
Chaos Rings for iPad ($15.99) supports the device’s 1024×768 HD resolution, and features richer graphics and more detailed textures than the previous release for the iPhone and iPod Touch.
FingerGaming’s Tucker Dean gave the iPhone version of Chaos Rings 4.5 out of 5 stars in his review, describing it as an experience that “delivers the classic gameplay of your favorite JRPGs in pocket form, and makes very few sacrifices in the process.”
