Let's get one thing out of the way right from the start: Mass Effect Infiltrator for iOS is not a roleplaying game. Players don't level up, engage in dialogue trees, or pilot a spaceship. Instead, the team at IronMonkey Studios has created a full-featured and action-oriented cover shooter, with hooks into the core Mass Effect trilogy's storyline.
Gamers play as Randall Ezno, a covert Cerberus agent of few words. As will surely come as no surprise to Mass Effect veterans, Ezno discovers early on that Cerberus is not the benevolent company it might first appear to be. The bulk of the action takes place in a sprawling Cerberus base. Ezno must travel deeper into the facility to uncover intel and put a stop to the company's plans.
Aside from a few small concerns, Infiltrator's third person action controls well via the iPad's large touch screen. As is standard, players drag the left side of the screen to move Ezno, and the right side to adjust the camera. The principle innovation is the game's aiming system. To target an enemy, players simply
