Square Enix's Apple Watch RPG Cosmos Rings is now available for $5.99

Square Enix's exclusive Apple Watch RPG Cosmos Rings is a weird amalgam of gameplay mechanics that you would never expect to see come together in a way that actually works, but the final result is a game that fits quite well on a wearable device.

The plot of the game – very appropriately – revolves around the passage of time and features a time constraint mechanic, similar to what you might be familiar with from The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask. Although made by Square Enix – creator of such classics as the Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest series – Cosmos Rings is not a very engaging or time consuming experience, which is to be expected from a smartwatch game.

Battles make up for the bulk of the experience, but they lack depth, with fighting being reduced to tapping a button in the bottom right corner of the screen. You can chain combos for additional damage with well timed taps, but that's pretty much as far as the fighting system goes. Cosmos Rings also features rudimentary weapon and skill upgrade systems, but they might come off as rather disappointing, if you were expecting something more from a developer the caliber of Square Enix.
