The 'Clash of Clones' officially begins in LucasArts' Star Wars: Commander for iOS
Not so long ago (like, mere minutes ago) in a galaxy quite near by (like, in the huge constellation of apps that is the App Store), LucasArts officially released its latest game based on the phenomenal “Star Wars” franchise.
Soft-launched a couple of months ago on the Australian App Store, Star Wars: Commander is officially out now on the App Store worldwide.
As we previously noted, Star Wars: Commander may as well be called Clash of Clones as it appears to have been heavily “inspired” by Supercell’s wildly popular combat strategy game, Clash of Clans.
In the new game, you join either the Empire or the Rebellion in building bases and attacking other players’ bases in Clash of Clans-style battles.
