Android 2.1 Eclair
800 Mhz CPU or greater recommended
SD card with at least 400 MB free storage

Specifically Tested Compatibility List
All Tegra 2 Based Devices: Fully Compatible (DD:FW runs best on these devices)

Looks like it could be a very good game! Unfortunately, it looks very complicated to play. IMO, that is an issue with a lot of the "better" phone games. Too many options, menus, submenus, etc...

Also would it not run better on the Galaxy S and Nexus S phones than on the iPhone 4? The iPhone 4 has an SGX535 GPU while the latter two have the supposedly more powerful SGX540 GPU

Is MultiTouch required?

It looks like in the video it's being utilized, however some devices (ahem, X10) don't have it (yet?)

I don't see the X10 on this list:

Nexus S: Fully Compatible
Samsung Galaxy Tab: Fully Compatible
Samsung Galaxy based Cell Phones: Fully Compatible
Droid 2: Fully Compatible
Droid X: Fully Compatible
HTC Evo 4G: Fully Compatible
HTC Incredible: Fully Compatible
myTouch 4G: Mostly compatible
T-Mobile G2: Fully compatible
Dell Streak: Fully compatible
HTC Desire: Fully compatible
Nexus One: Fully compatible

It's possible that it still works since it has the same processor as some of the other devices like the Evo, but another one of the requirements for the game is 512mb of RAM; the X10 only has like 380.

Wait, what? Pocket Legends is cross platform (and so is MiniSquadron), isn't it?

Those two games don't use the Unreal Engine, which is what it is "boasting" when it says crossplatform, from my understanding of it.

Pocket Legends currently plays cross platfrom on Android and iOS devices, but when they first announced the Android version, they also announced a PC version as well, and they have screenshots of the game running on all "4" (iPhone and iPad as two seperate ones).

Other MMO's currently in the work will be doing the same thing as well.
