    Epic Citadel from Epic Games Arrives on Android

    Epic Games has released Epic Citadel for a variety of Android devices. The app is free and is being used to show off the company's use of Unreal Engine 3 tech on mobile platforms.

    The application includes a new benchmarking mode and updated visuals. The setting for this interactive demo is from the fantasy game Infinity Blade, and features a circus bazaar, cathedral, and plenty of cobblestone streets to explore.


    “Epic Citadel” was created with the same UE3 tools and technologies used to develop best-selling PC, console and mobile games. Features include:

    • Amazing visuals. “Epic Citadel” pushes the envelope for modern visuals on Android devices. Through the latest advances in Unreal Engine 3 technology, the application delivers unrivaled graphics and special effects that immerse players in the kingdom’s grounds.
    • Benchmarking mode. “Epic Citadel” enables users to gather performance data for Android devices through its benchmarking mode, which displays frames per second stats, quality settings and resolution details.
    • Realistic reflections and animations. Environment mapping and other high-end rendering techniques produce lifelike reflections, and vertex deformation and skeletal animation bring trees and banners to life with dynamic movements.
    • Global illumination. Unreal Engine 3’s built-in global illumination system, Unreal Lightmass, provides realistic lighting and shadows with minimal development resources.
    • Dynamic specular lighting with texture masks. Sophisticated graphics features impart a tangible quality to cobblestone roads and vivid reflective marble surfaces, while lens flares and light coronas add dramatic emphasis when panning across light sources.

    You can download Epic Citadel for yourself from the Google Play Store or the Amazon Appstore for Android. iTunes users have had the app for a while now but a new update today adds in support for high-resolution devices.

    The fact that those shots were taken on my phone just blows my mind. All but one of them were under the "high performance" setting, though I honestly cannot tell the difference. They all look great.
