One game that has a lot of people’s interest and that we’ve been following its journey to Android is Snail Games’ upcoming Acton-RPG title called Taichi Panda. Originally announced before CES 2015, we ended up playing around with an early version of the game for a few minutes during CES 2015. Since then the game has been under development, getting everything polished and, eventually, having been released onto iOS now. So where is the Android version?
Update: March 10th, 2015 6:51am PST: We heard back from Snail Games who mentioned to us that a soft launch/beta is currently going on in a couple of locations – Australia and Canada (rumor has it Austria also). This beta test runs until March 12th, 2015 and is open to anyone in those regions. We’ve added the link to the blog post from Snail Games which contains the beta access link to the bottom of this article. We also were told that everyone can expect to play Taichi Panda by the end of this month.
Well have no fear, the Android version is coming and soon. However it was released onto iOS first last week right before GDC 2015. When we played around with Taichi Panda back in January 2015 during CES it was pretty enjoyable, especially on Snail Games’ OBox console.
Taichi Panda Features:
– 3D graphics and environments, with a goofy, vibrant art style.
– Fast-paced action game play with exciting boss battles and challenges.
– RPG-style player progression with equipment, skills, pets, etc.
– Online multiplayer, including real-time PvP and Team Dungeons.
In the meantime, while we wait for the Android version to arrive, there is a new cinematic trailer that was released during GDC 2015 for Taichi Panda which you can check out in the video below. We’ve contacted Snail Games to get an update on when the Android version will land on Google Play, hopefully something more specific than just ‘coming soon’.
