Mass Effect Galaxy

Mass Effect Galaxy is a game for iOS, released on June 22, 2009. The story focuses on backstory of one of the companion characters from Mass Effect 2. BioWare stated that the game would contain two hours of gameplay and would have "top down shooter action". BioWare also stated that the game, like the novels, would not be "required reading" for Mass Effect 2, meaning that players would still be able to enjoy Mass Effect 2 having only played Mass Effect.
