Robot Entertainment, the studio behind hit games like Orcs Must Die or Hero Academy, has confirmed that Echo Prime, its hack and slash title that was released last year for iOS, is making its way onto the PC via Steam with all sorts of new content and bonuses.

Echo Prime was revealed last year by Robot Entertainment as a sci-fi hack and slash dungeon crawler in which players controlled an enforcer who needed to wage war against various alien races across the galaxy.

The title is now coming to the PC platform via the Steam digital distribution service, according to an announcement from the studio.

Besides reworked controls and HD visuals, the game will also feature new content, including fresh locations or a new alien race called the Tide.
