Leos-Fortune-Comes-To-Android

Leo’s Fortune, the award winning iOS game, will be landing in the Google Play store this July 1oth so be ready Android users! I reviewed the game on the iOS platform here on Techaeris and it’s an absolutely fabulous piece of art! From the music and characters to the stunningly beautiful graphics you will want to buy this game.

Things may be a little different on Android but either way, the game is absolutely brilliant. Check out the Leo’s Fortune trailer after the break.

WearPhoneAndWatch
