Disco Elysium: Critically Acclaimed CRPG Now on Mobile with Android Port

It's a monumental day for fans of CRPGs, as a newly released trailer has given us our first glimpse at one of the most eagerly awaited story-driven games to hit mobile in recent years: Disco Elysium is coming to Android. But this isn't just a simple port of the original game; it's been reimagined with new art and gameplay mechanics to suit the mobile platform.

For those unfamiliar, Disco Elysium casts you as the amnesiac detective Harry Du Bois, tasked with solving a murder in the city of Revachol, specifically in the district of Martinaise. You'll need to interrogate suspects and explore the city to untangle a complex web of conspiracies and conflicting narratives.

Whether you choose to embrace or resist the erratic behavior of the protagonist, or engage in deep philosophical exchanges with the characters you meet, there's a reason Disco Elysium has been hailed as a groundbreaking release.

Under normal circumstances, I'd be shouting my excitement from the rooftops. With all-new art and gameplay, including 360-degree scenes you can explore using your phone's camera, Disco Elysium is coming to mobile in what might be its best form yet.

However, the excitement is tempered by the high-profile breakup between Zaum and many members of Disco Elysium's original design team, not to mention the subsequent layoffs and legal issues. It's nothing short of a miracle that Disco Elysium has made it to Android intact.

Whether this mobile release represents a new lease on life for Zaum or their final cut (pun intended), it's certain to capture the attention of fans who have been eagerly anticipating a CRPG of this caliber, both in terms of writing and content.

Disco Elysium is now available for pre-registration on Android.
