Thanks to the iPhone’s powerful CPU and quite capable Safari web browser you can run many of the popular web services on your shiny handset. In addition, you can also play some basic DHTML/JavaScript based games. The basic part is there to emphasize that so far we haven’t actually seen any “serious” web-based title released for the iPhone. Until now…
The guy named Donald Hays developed the full FPS RPG game for the iPhone called Sunset. Some serious programming is behind this project, hence you won’t believe it’s a web-based RPG. Not that we haven’t seen similar projects in the past, but it’s important to notice this is a web-based RPG for the mobile device. Now that’s something… or at least I think so.
All the major elements of the genre is there, meaning that you’ll find yourself walking around, picking items (inventory system is also in place) and killing all the beasts that cross your way.
Finally, if you want to see this baby in action – hop over to Donald’s website from your iPhone/iPod Touch’s Safari and take it from there.
