Geared toward serious gamers, Republique aims to raise the bar for the stealth-action game genre on iOS.

Pros

Console quality: Taking full advantage of the latest generation of iPads and iPhones, Republique offers unparalleled graphic performance. With an immersive atmosphere and great voice acting, this is one of the most impressive games we have seen for iOS.

Inventive controls: Designing a touch-based stealth game is not an easy task. Republique found a good balance in the hardware's capability and incorporated it into the plot structure. Controlling Hope, our main character, requires a mixture of patience, timing, and daring.

Engaging gameplay: Republique's complex puzzles, engaging storyline, and convincing voice acting make it tough to put down.

Cons

Performance stutter: While impressive, the game experienced some stuttering. This is expected as hardware limitations are tested, but it can be distracting, because mobile gamers have been spoiled by years of fluid play in games that are not graphics-intensive.

Better on the big screen: Republique appears to be designed with the iPad's screen in mind. Attempting to play on an iPhone's tiny display leads to moments of frustration as the control precision is not all there.

Bottom Line

With engaging gameplay, a fleshed-out storyline, and star-studded voice acting, Republique has certainly raised the bar for mobile gaming. It's rare to see this level of quality in a mobile game.

Developer's Description

Intense, thrilling, and topical, REPUBLIQUE is a stealth-action game that explores the perils of government surveillance in the Internet Age.

You receive a desperate call from Hope, a mysterious woman trapped inside an oppressive totalitarian state. By hacking into the nation's elaborate surveillance network and taking control, you guide Hope through a web of danger and deception across five thrilling episodes. (Purchase future episodes with the discounted Season Pass.)

Challenging puzzles and complex strategy are offset by the simplicity of the game's "One Touch" controls, developed over two years by industry veterans (Metal Gear Solid 4, Halo 4, F.E.A.R., Black & White 2, SOCOM).

With striking visuals, a haunting, atmospheric score, and an all-star cast, REPUBLIQUE is one of the most ambitious games ever developed for iOS.
