Arriving in July apparently.

2 teams out of the box, only 6 even with dlc, the screenshots imply it is based on PC blood bowl 1.

Why cyanide keep trying to sell me versions of BB without enough teams is a mystery.

Furthermore, on the forums cyanide appear to be claiming this will run off the BB1 servers and can play in the pc leagues.

I kind of suspect they don't know what they are talking about in a 2nd language.

Being released on 7/31. Not sure if it'll hook up with existing servers or if the mobile platform will stand-alone on it's own.

On Play store now for $4.99, which includes Humans and Orcs. The other 4 base teams are DLC, and everything beyond that is unavailable. You can play with your existing BB account; you're just limited to teams.

Does that mean the assets for all the other teams are in there, or does it also limit your opponents?

Digging through commentary on gaming news sites for those that bought it already:

-DLC teams are $3 each. So $5 for the game gets you Orcs and Humans. $12 for Skaven, Chaos, Wood Elf, and Dwarves.
-Left/right mouse clicking is handled through a toggle switch on the side of the screen.
-Zero customization of players and teams beyond color and team names.
-Runs smooth like butter performance-wise.
-Hard-enforcement of tablets only. Doesn't matter if you have the fanciest of phones.

I'll wait for some more reviews, but for $5 it's not a "bad" deal. I'm sure they'll run sales on the DLC teams, though it'd be nice if they recognized their long-time customers by allowing them to play the teams they already have without having to pay for them again.

Yep, fuck that. Not even going to bother to get nickel and dimed for stock teams.
