Sand Storm Revelations offers multiplayer functions, but they are only available via Bluetooth. Furthermore, players must complete the game to unlock the new character. Once the character is obtained, players can use the new character via Bluetooth to connect with other players to share the gaming experience.

"What makes this game extremely appealing is that it's not only simple and fun to play, it offers players who do not have expensive mobile hardware the opportunity to play games that offer the same quality as top tier mobile publishing without the expense. It was imperative to us to keep the quality high and the prices low," said the guys from Kolkom International.

The game should be available very soon, but its price hasn't been disclosed yet.

It is about time a comic book story like this came to gaming. I read the book and was compelled by the story. Egyptians have always been portrayed as white (cleopatra). This book tells the story of Egypt the way it was supposed to be told. I just hope the gameplay and the graphics lives up to the hype of the game. If it does, maybe we will get the consoled version!
