If you're an iOS gamer with a soft spot for 16-bit action RPGs, you might be a little jealous of 3DS/2DS owners this autumn.

They'll be playing The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds, after all, but you won't be left without a new, retro game thanks to FDG Entertainment.

The recently announced Across Age 2 is due out for iOS this winter, although which side of the 2013/2014 divide that falls on remains to be seen.

Following the footsteps of the original Across Age, this new installment continues the nostalgia-driven trip down memory lane and will scratch the itch of those looking to relive the adventure of The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past or The Secret of Mana.

In our review of the original Across Age, we found that it made "a concerted effort" to "synthesise the best of those role-playing games that have come before it" - although its controls at launch made it a bit of a chore to play.

Those controls were thankfully fixed up in a subsequent patch, so there's a good chance that Across Age 2 will be an action RPG worth being excited over.

We'll keep you updated with news on Across Age II as it becomes available, but until then enjoy the gameplay trailer below.
