Alive 4 Ever and Magical Drop Touch represent the iPhone/iPod touch’s most prominent style of play: easily-digestible titles that can be lapped up in quick fashion while commuting, or when impatiently waiting in line at the post office. Those looking for more long form gameplay have been coming up empty, but developer Big Blue Bubble is looking to add meatier content to the Apps Store with its Pop Vox award-winning RPG, Elven Chronicles, which is available now for $3.99.

Elven Chronicles puts gamers in the role of a young knight who is fighting to discover the secrets of his forgotten past, and a charismatic elf on a quest for self redemption. The title features large territories to explore, randomly generated dungeons, and attractive 2D hand drawn sprites that are reminiscent of 8- and 16-bit role-playing games of years past, such as Final Fantasy or The Legend of Zelda.

If you’re interested in the role-playing action, check out the screens below (or the trailer) for a few more looks at this promising title.
