Crimson: Steam Pirates Sails Into Charted Territory on the iPad

Bungie Aerospace, Halo creator Bungie’s initiative to help mobile and social game developers,  has launched its first title for iOS. Crimson: Steam Pirates is a free, iPad-exclusive strategy game from Harebrained Schemes and Jordan Weisman, the creator of FASA franchises MechWarrior, Crimson Skies and Shadowrun.

In this steampunk styled title, players are Captain Thomas Blood, a swashbuckling hero in command of steam-powered battleships, submarines and zeppelins. Eight missions employ more than a dozen variants of these vehicles, as players tap and drag to create paths for their war machines to follow.
