If the game engine works like Injustice, Gods Among Us, then we may have a winner. Doing the key combinations to perform a move has always made me ANGRY, especially when trying to perform a "Finish" move. And please, no in app purchases. Just make the game 9.99 and let me be.

Sadly the game will be "free-to-play" with the obligatory in-app purchases. I'd much rather pay upfront and not have any in-app purchases as well. It's probably hoping for too much, but maybe there will be an "unlock all" purchase that's reasonably priced.

I'm very intrigued by the direct connections to the console version. Playing the mobile version helps with unlocking content in the console version.
