Fallen Enchantress dev premieres mobile division with three new strategy IPs

Stardock, developer of the Fallen Enchantress series, has a new mobile studio and three new strategy IPs set to launch by early 2014. Stardock Mobile is headed by Stardock VP Derek Paxton and Mobile Senior Producer Chris Bray.

The first game, a piratey card game with puzzle and strategy elements, is called Dead Man's Draw, and is due out in October for iOS.

"Stardock is known for great strategy games," Bray says. "The mobile games - though they will vary in genre - will always have an element of strategy in the gameplay."

The two other mobile games are Hero Busters and Star Tails, each coming in early 2014. Stardock CEO Brad Wardell says, "The mobile platform allows us to design games that just wouldn't make sense on a PC and take advantage of some of the unique features inherent to a mobile device." We'll find out whether this refers to touchscreen gameplay or microstransactions (or both) in October.
