The crew over at Jet Set Games have launched a wicked looking turn-based strategy game called Highborn onto the Android platform. Now this is were you'll have to get used to hearing this next line. It is available exclusively on the Amazon App Store. This is obviously going to be a trend if it wants to compete with the Android Market.
Previously, Highborn was only available on iOS and the Chrome Store, that's something you don't read every day. Well now it has been brought over to Android as well. While the action takes place on a large map as you move your forces around and engage in combat like a normal RTS, the story is more or less just for fun and is filled with all sorts of humor.
“Highborn has been a great success on iOS devices and we’ve wanted to port the game to other operating systems for some time now,” said Rade Stojsavljevic, president of Jet Set Games. “The expansion to Google Chrome late last year was the first step, but releasing Highborn for the Android OS will make the game available to millions of new players. We look forward to watching the community grow, and continuing to release new content for the players.”
Features:
· A Light Touch – Highborn is a casual mobile strategy game that offers a satisfying experience for players, no matter if they spend minutes or hours in the game.
· Time for a New Strategy – Highborn features a unique blend of strategic movement and 3D combat that caters to a variety of gameplay styles and offers a great deal of replayability.

If you have been waiting for a solid RTS game, since there isn't a huge selection of them yet on Android, then this will be one to check out to fill that void. Highborn should work on most newer Android phones with Android 2.1+. Again, you'll have to use the Amazon App Store to purchase this game which will set you back $0.99. Full press release below.
