The best rugby football experience on mobile is back this November, just in time for 2015, with Rugby Nations 15 (RN15) on iOS and Android. With so many improvements over the previous game, there’s something for both hardcore fans of the sport and casual gamers.
Along with a boost to graphics and audio, the game features freshly tweaked AI and new challenges to keep even the most hardcore players on their toes. Your players now move and react more like the real thing with better defensive AI and upgraded Box Kick and Cross Field Kick AI.
The brand new Career Mode takes your rookie player through the ranks of the sport, starting in the bottom tier leagues right through to becoming an international superstar player, tackling your way to a world tournament, all the while boosting your player skills and stats. Added realistic weather effects, including snow and rain, change how the match plays, giving your team the full anger of Mother Nature to overcome.
Stadium enhancements and the new match audio drop you right in the middle of the screaming fans, so you can feel every kick, tackle or cheer. Test out the experience in the new Autumn Internationals challenge, just in time for the real event. With the enhanced replays, you never need to miss a moment of your player’s rugby career.
And here’s a small list of some of the changes:
