remake it for today’s gamers”, said Johnny-Retro of
Retrobomb, “people want to play good fun games when they are
on the move, as well as at home, and that means as a developer we
needed to make a game that could be played on a Phone, a Tablet, a
mobile gaming device, a Smart TV as well as traditional PC or
console”.

Expendable: Rearmed will bring this classic game into the
hands of new games players as well as delighting fans of the
original”, Said Barry Hatch, MD of Funbox Media, who own the
IP of the original game, “If you want to go back to a time
when games were fun, fingers were trigger happy colors and
explosions were huge, then get ready, this is one of the best
looking games I have seen on a phone or a tablet and as this is
just the start of our collaboration, more classics are on the
way!”
