As announced, Square Enix has launched on the watchOS App Store Cosmos Rings, the first RPG that is available exclusively for Apple Watch. Being an RPG for a device with such a small screen, Square Enix has wanted everything to be simple, so the controls are simple and intuitive. In fact, the combats are semi-automatic and users will only have to touch from time to time on the icon of a special attack.
Cosmos Rings uses a time travel system that uses the Digital Crown Apple Watch and the messaging function depending on the number of steps we take per day. Square Enix explains that «The power of time is in your hands. Just use the Digital Crown to go back in time! Some conditions can also give you special messages«.
Cosmos Rings comes to the watchOS App Store
The protagonist of Cosmos Rings will explore temporary tunnels and other areas and will level up as he performs tasks or missions. The game's graphics are a bit retro, but they don't look bad for a smartwatch. In fact, it seems that here the 60fps that the Apple Watch can deliver. Of course, the battery will surely plummet while you are playing this or another game for a couple of hours.
Cosmos Rings is available with a special launch price of € 5.99, but it will cost € 8.99 from September. It is clear that it is not a game that lives up to other titles for iPhone, but without a doubt it can be used to kill time at any time and without having to take our iPhone out of your pocket. Warning: not in Spanish, at least in this first version. As you see? Do you think Cosmos Rings is worth it considering that it can only be played on the Apple Watch?
at that price no.
