Duke Nukem 3D on Android "very soon"

By Robert Purchese Published 12 October, 2011

"What are you waiting for, Christmas?"

Duke Nukem 3D will arrive "very soon" on Android Market for smartphones and tablets (running version 2.1 or newer).

Companies Tapjoy and MachineWorks NorthWest are responsible. They're porting the iOS version of Duke Nukem 3D, which costs 69 pence and has an average rating of three stars.

This will be the first ever Duke Nukem title available on Android. There's no word on price.

Duke Nukem 3D has appeared far and wide - it was a great tool for advertising the dreary Duke Nukem Forever. The last version Eurogamer reviewed was Duke Nukem 3D on Xbox Live Arcade.

"Thankfully, while some of its design decisions are more than a little frustrating, it remains a brilliantly entertaining first-person shooter and probably deserves more credit for helping to shape the genre than it has been given," concluded reviewer Dan Whitehead.

    Just what I was thinking too.

    I can't see how would work on a touch screen but would be a compelling reason to pick up an Experia Play

  • Whitster #4 8 months ago

    Yeah this would go down a treat on the play, I notice that EG have yet to report on the four free EA games on the play at the moment.

    WARNING ANDROID OWNERS!!!

    This port is a piece of shit on iOS, the controls are terrible and it doesn't have any in-game music. If they're bringing the same thing to Android you should avoid it at all costs. In fairness to the developers they released this back when iOS was first getting started and people hadn't worked out the best way to do FPS controls on a touch screen, but since then they haven't bothered to update or fix the app, so chances are Android will be getting the same broken rubbish. If there's a demo, make sure you try before you buy! :)

    Oh dear. I bet you feel reeeaaaalllly frustrated that you wasted all that money right? Imagine what you could have bought for 69p. :o

    Hope they don't cock up the controls as badly as they did on iOS.
