ThereвЂ™s a handy mini-map in the corner for keeping track of all your units, and flashing icons will zoom you quickly to areas where battles are raging off-screen. Selecting squads requires you to create boxes around them by sliding two fingertips across the screen and, once gathered, they can easily be assigned individual squad numbers to help you give quick orders later on. Yet after just a couple of missions into StarfrontвЂ™s brief but beneficial tutorial, itвЂ™s clear the publisher has found a system that is both comfortable and responsive.Д®verything, from ordering soldiers to upgrading bases, is handled by tapping directly on the unit and then either moving it with another tap or assigning an action using contextual menus at the side of the screen. Keyboard shortcuts and deft mouse clicks are the well worn tools of strategy gamers, so scepticism that they could be replicated on touchscreens is entirely healthy. Where GameloftвЂ™s title most succeeds is in its intuitive controls.
