As Mass Effect 3 releases around the world this week, fans of the franchise also have the chance to enjoy Mass Effect Infiltrator on their iOS mobile device. The game on the iOS platform is not just some rehash as it’s an all new original Mass Effect storyline that is exclusive to the mobile platform.

The game sees Commander Shepard battling Reapers across the galaxy as ageing Cerberus agent Randall Ezno uses aliens for nasty experiments at a secret facility somewhere, but a director at this facility goes one step too far, which pushes Randall to take arms by vowing to bring Cerberus down.

Its a player’s mission to somehow fight their way off the hostile Cerberus base, and in doing so deliver its secret to the Alliance. The game promises to bring a new level to iOS gaming, as users can move freely around the massive exteriors of the Cerberus base.

Users will find stunning graphics with quality audio that provides a console like experience on the iOS platform, which also features a clever tap controls for slick and precise fighting that allow you to quickly dive and roll for cover using a simple swipe of the touchscreen.

Gamers must make use of all the high tech armor and weapons at their disposal, which are coupled with cloak abilities and devastating melee attacks that in-turn help you to upgrade your equipment with credits. The iOS game will help you to gain valuable intelligence that can be uploaded to Galaxy at War, which will improve your Galactic Readiness Rating in Mass Effect 3.
