Interactions are largely done through single short taps to travel around the world and interact with objects. A click-through chat window and the collapsible menus keep as much of the game available for viewing, and a generous amount of zoom is possible for the mobile release. There are two rows of menu panels along either side of the landscape-only game. To get around this, developer Jagex has built a generally good bespoke UI for the game. The biggest change is the user interface, as it must now account for imprecise touch screens.

The “New School” version of RuneScape, sometimes called RuneScape 3, will also be getting a full mobile release at some time in the future.Īdvertisement Old School RuneScape Mobile Impressions – Small Screen, No Problem

The full mobile release is an important milestone for the decades-old RuneScape. OSRS, as players call it, has received various improvements, quality-of-life patches, and new content based on player polls. Old School RuneScape is a fork of the game based on a full backup of RuneScape from August 2007 that was re-released under the “Old School” banner in 2013. And thanks to its decent controls and frame rate, it feels great to tap around Geilinor and slay goblins on the go. Old School RuneScape Mobile is a well-crafted, smartly constructed port of the classic massively multiplayer online game. I’ve been playing RuneScape in some capacity since 2006, which means I’ve lived more of my life with a RuneScape account than without one. The beloved game made its way to Android and iOS devices earlier this week and while phone ports can sometimes go poorly, Runescape has made the transition wonderfully.
