Simogo Legacy Collection Review
The Simogo Legacy Collection, a compilation of beloved mobile games from the creators of Sayonara Wild Hearts, offers a crucial look at the precarious state of game preservation on smartphones. This collection, featuring titles like Device 6 and Beat Sneak Bandit, not only showcases Simogo’s inventive design but also highlights the urgent need to rescue these digital artifacts before they vanish entirely.
The Peril of Mobile Game Preservation
Despite being relatively young, many mobile games are at constant risk of becoming inaccessible. This is due to relentless system and hardware updates that lead to deprecation and incompatibility. Developers face an onerous amount of work maintaining their back catalogs, a task often deemed too resource-intensive for older titles. The Simogo Legacy Collection serves as a vital countermeasure against this digital decay, ensuring that gems like Year Walk remain playable.
A Testament to Simogo’s Innovation
Simogo, known for its critically acclaimed Sayonara Wild Hearts, has curated a PC and Switch compilation that celebrates its mobile roots. Games like Device 6, a text-based adventure, and the rhythm-action stealth of Beat Sneak Bandit, are prime examples of the unique experiences Simogo has brought to mobile platforms. The Legacy Collection makes these innovative titles accessible to a new audience and preserves them for the future.
