Let me tell you a story. Back in 2001, a graphical MUD was released called Wyvern. It wasn’t the biggest game on the market — by far — but over the years it cultivated a small and very loyal community. The title was taken down in 2011 due to server issues and legal wrangling.
However, this wasn’t the end for scrappy Wyvern. The game’s creator finally regained control over the title and worked to bring it back, but this time on mobile. As of two days ago, Wyvern went live on Apple devices, charging $2 to throttle the influx of the initial crowd. Interested parties should check out Wyvern Source for detailed information on the mobile game’s development.
One dedicated fan explained why Wyvern was something special: “I haven’t played anything like this game. The art is beautiful for a 2-D game, and I cannot express how many maps, quests, and dungeons there are to explore. My two favorite aspects of the game, and what set it apart for me from other rouge like games similar to it is that the controls are very responsive and you never stop improving your character.”
