Assassin's Creed III is a platform video game developed and published by Gameloft for keypad-based mobile phones, touchscreen Java phones, and Android. It was released alongside its PC and console version in 2012. The game features the Mohawk Assassin Connor and is set during the events of the American Revolutionary War.
Gameplay[]
The gameplay is similar to that of the other mobile versions of the games, with Connor navigating across levels in a 2D side-view perspective, dispatching guards and targets using a simple control system using the tomahawk, bow, flintlock pistols and muskets.
The game has nine levels, two of which involve the use of the Aquila, and consists of locations such as Boston, New York City, and the Frontier.
Apprentices[]
During missions, Connor will often find citizens in need of help. Rescuing them unlocks the Assassin as a recruit to be used for guild missions, which were executed in a similar manner to those in the main games, complete with a leveling system for the recruits.
Plot[]
Connor kills a group of British soldiers under orders from Samuel Adams in the forest frontier. After he kills their leader, the others give chase, with Connor managing to escape. Charles Lee suddenly appears and Connor falls onto a nearby lake. While he is unconscious, he recalls the time when Lee burned down his village. After he wakes up, he proceeds to assassinate Templars for years, including Johnson and John Pitcairn, and helps George Washington in the Battle of Bunker Hill. He later rescues Washington by killing Thomas Hickey during the Great Fire of New York, and assists Benjamin Franklin in escaping from a group of Redcoats. Haytham Kenway is discovered to be traitor to the Americans, and Connor pretends to be captured by the Redcoats and kills him. After the war is over, Adams informs Connor of Lee's location, and he chases and catches the Templar, who then orders a series of Redcoats to kill Connor. Connor manages to kill all of them and Lee summons a Templar tougher than the Redcoats. Connor kills this Templar as well and chases Lee into a nearby bar. After the Templar says that the Americans are not loyal to Connor anymore, Lee dies presumably due to poison. Connor says "Goodbye, Charles." and leaves.
Differences from the main game[]
- Connor was never referred to as Ratonhnhaké:ton, even amongst the people of his tribe. Similarly, the Kanien'kehá:ka were only known as the Mohawk.
- Haytham Kenway was not a playable character.
- There was no mention of Achilles Davenport, Kaniehtí:io or Kanen'tó:kon in the game.
- The first memory, which took place in 1770, included an encounter with Charles Lee during which Connor was shot by the former, falling off a cliff into a lake.
- In a journal written in 1758 by a Mohawk man named Ari Sawi, he referred to Connor as his son.
- The Battle of Bunker Hill took place in February 1776 with George Washington leading the troops as opposed to June 1775 with Israel Putnam in charge.
- The assassination of Thomas Hickey took place during the Great Fire of New York during which Hickey attempted to assassinate an injured George Washington. Following this, Connor also rescued Benjamin Franklin from oncoming British forces.
- Haytham Kenway was only shown as a traitor to the Patriot cause, and was not related to Connor in any way.
- The final encounter with Charles Lee features many differences, such as a carriage chase, a British ambush and the tavern scene taking place in Boston rather than Monmouth.
Trivia[]
- The images used to represent Connor's apprentices are the same as those of the Animi Avatars from the main game.
