For those interested I believe this is still free on iOS.

It is! I just tried it, but didn't like its controls. Maybe it will be
better in PC?

It would almost have to be, wouldn't it?
Touch-screen controls are the worst. There's no feedback when you
press, your fingers block your view of the action (and over time makes
the screen smudgy, no matter how clean your fingers are), and are
incredibly imprecise.

Yeah, I hate those real time game controls. I don't mind turn based
games without timers. I can take my time. Also, I can't hold
smartphones, game controllers, etc. in mid air due to my disabilities.
:( Hence, why I love keyboards and mouses on (table/desk)s!

For what its worth, even for those of us who /can/ hold the things
mid-air, it still gets uncomfortable over long periods of time. Which
is another problem with playing on touch-screen devices; the angle of
the screen is never comfortable for touch-screens and viewing at the
same time.

Of course, there is a solution to some of these problems; you can
always get a gamepad or one of those devices you slot the phone/tablet
into that has attached controls. But if you're carrying around a
second device anyway to save you from the perils of touch-screen
gaming... why not just carry around a dedicated gaming device like a
switch or steamdeck?

Touch-screen controls have their uses... but gaming isn't one of them.
