The latter has been loudly criticized since its April early access launch for its F2P economy and deluge of momentum-slowing timers. This version of Commander Keen follows Bethesda's other recent forays into mobile gaming, particularly Fallout Shelter and Elder Scrolls: Blades. (Pre-registering for the game at Bethesda's site does come with a giveaway of an outfit for the Keen siblings.)

Gameplay specifics were not clarified either at the press conference or the game's brand-new announcement site, but this smartphone game appears to revolve around tapping on smartphone screens to direct players' upward hops (recalling '80s arcade games like Ice Climbers) and activate attacks.Įvery screen provided by Bethesda has a massive item selection menu on the screen's bottom, and these colorful icons appear to activate limited-use items.
The new Commander Keen, as shown in the above gallery, will "soft-launch" on iOS and Android "this summer" as a free-to-play platforming game. But fans may not have seen this version of Keen coming. That day was Sunday, as announced by Bethesda at its E3 press conference. Fans of its creators, id Software (perhaps better known for Doom and Quake), have always wondered when the relatively cutesy series might see a revival since its halcyon PC years of 1990-91. PC gamers of a certain era fondly remember Commander Keen, one of the most technically proficient side-scrolling action series to land on MS-DOS. Billy Keen and Billie Keen, siblings and alien fighters.
