Permission to drool all over the carpet, keyboard, or person next to you on the train if you're a flash git with an iPhone (although they're coming down in price soon - HA!).

In case you've forgot the game's got legendary Star Wars icons Darth Vader and Yoda in it, which already makes it a winner in our book. The full, official list from Ubisoft, reads as:

Ever Expanding Line-up:
  • Hilde - A striking armor-clad fighter who wields a short sword and spear making her adept at both long range strikes and short range combos
  • Scheherazade and Angol Fear - Two alluring bonus characters created specifically for the game by renowned manga artists and character designers
