Assassin's Creed is a mobile game made by Gameloft that was released in 2007, alongside the main console game.

Storyline

Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad was a member of the Assassin's Order, a faction in opposition to the Knights Templar. Up until the Third Crusade, Altaïr had been the best Assassin in the entire order, though he was demoted after he had failed to assassinate Robert de Sable and led the Templars back to Masyaf. After his demotion, Altaïr's master and leader of the Assassins, Sinan, offered him a task. To work his way up to his former reputation again, Altaïr had to kill seven high-ranked Templars scattered throughout the three cities of Acre, Masyaf and Jerusalem. First, he had to kill Sibrand, William of Montferrat and Garnier de Naplouse in Acre. After this, Altaïr killed Vizier Abull Aswad and Tamir Bin Musa in Masyaf. Finally, he killed Maj Aldin and Robert de Sable in Jerusalem. After his reputation was restored and his mission completed, Altaïr returned to his master Sinan, only to discover that Sinan was, in fact, a secret Templar who had manipulated Altaïr to eliminate his fellow Templars to allow more power for himself. Upon this revelation, Altaïr was forced to confront and kill his former master, and upon succeeding, obtain the treasure he had previously looted from Robert de Sable: the elusive Piece of Eden.

Gameplay

The game has 8 levels, ranging in location from Acre, Masyaf, and Jerusalem. In them, Altaïr has various abilities, including running, dashing, crouching, jumping, swinging on poles or chains, blending with scholars, and attacking with his different weapons. During the span of the game, Altaïr's health is indicated by a health bar (consisting of three sections at the beginning of the game, but gradually expanding as the player discovers hidden memory blocks) at the top left of the screen. Special to the gameplay in cold, snowy Masyaf is the temperature bar, a vertical bar on the right hand side of the screen.

Altaïr assassinates Sibrand.

When the temperature bar hits bottom, Altaïr will die of freezing. To keep his temperature warm, Altaïr must approach the torches spread throughout the locations.

Weapons

Throughout his journey, Altaïr has the ability to use 4 different weapons: his sword, a grappling hook, bombs, and a crossbow. An unmentioned, albeit frequently used weapon (in assassinating the seven targets) is his hidden blade.

Sword

Altaïr has this weapon at the beginning of the game. When he confronts an enemy, he will automatically draw his sword. He is also capable of blocking enemy attacks and dodging them by moving backwards. By pressing 8 when the enemy's health is low, Altaïr will go behind the enemy's back, and then, by pressing 5, he will kill him with hidden blade. He can also use his sword to move the mechanisms so that he can jump on platforms, or he can use it to drop flameholders on the walls to light torches.

Grappling hook

Altaïr obtains this weapon after winning the confrontation against Garnier de Naplouse. It can be used to swing on hooks in the ceiling, to pull icicles and objects to ground level, or to catch an enemy and use him as a jumping platform.

Bombs

The bomb is a very effective weapon, although its supply is limited and must be refilled by walking into a weapon recharging point. While fighting guards, it is a lot easier to throw a bomb then to fight with the sword. Altaïr obtains the bombs just before his meeting with Tamir bin Musa.

Crossbow

Altaïr later obtains the crossbow just prior to his confrontation with Maj Aldim, which he can use to snipe enemies from afar, trigger the gear mechanisms, or shoot down flameholders to light torches. Like the bombs, its supply is limited and must be refilled by walking into a weapon recharging point.

Acre-

Very different from the console games, the Acre in the mobile is very beautiful, with tall buildings and the sun streaking over the horizon, emanating a pinkish sky.

• Sibrand- Sibrand is performing an execution. Altair will jump from a hole and stab Sibrand with the hidden blade while above him. Altair will then escape from a group of guards and set a burning haystack after them.
• William of Montferrat- William and several knights will ride a horse in Acre. Altair will chase them above a long platform, passing crude oil and soldiers on the way. Altair will jump above him and stab him with the blade, then steal his horse and run away, William's knights in hot pursuit.
• Garnier de Naplouse- Garnier will be confronted by Altair in a hot battle. He wears a mask (of Sibrand's in the console games) and uses a grappling hook. He will jump on the air and hang on a ring with his grappling hook, then charge at the ground and send shockwaves. Altair will defeat him and get the Grappling hook to escape the room.

Masyaf-

Masyaf is very different from the console game. It is snowy, and the villagers live in a camplike tent.Torches were lit along the way which will help Altair from freezing in the harsh weather. You will get the bomb here.

• Vizier Abull Aswad- He will insult Altair, who is standing over a cliff. He will just laugh, and Altair has two options. Jump towards him and stab him with the hidden blade, or use the grappling hook and pull an icicle that will full to the man and kill him.
• Tamir bin Musa- please fill in facts about his assassination

Jerusalem-

The quest in Jerusalem in this mobile brings you a prison-like or vigilante like feeling. Jerusalem is enveloped by the dark night, with torches lit around the area and strong Templars on the lookout for you. A crossbow will be gotten in this area.

• Majd Aldin- This assassination will involve a one-on-one battle. The crossbow will lead to Majd Aldin's death as Altair shoots the contraptions and gears on the room, leading to Majd falling down to the ground which gives Altair the opportunity to attack him with his weapons.
• Forgotten someone- Altair will assassinate a fat templar in a room somewhere in Jerusalem's castle.
• Robert de Sable- Altair will fight with Robert on horseback. He will throw bombs at you but at the end of the line, Altair will get the Piece of Eden from him.
• Sinan, Master of Assassins- Altair will give the Piece of Eden to him, but Sinan will draw his huge sword and attack him. He will disappear in the shadows, Altair must go to a torch and wait for Sinan to attack. Eventually, one by one, the torches will be lost and Altair must climb to the second floor to defeat him.

Unknown

• It will show Desmond Miles in a strange machine. To be continued is the last message.

Differences from other versions

• Masyaf is shown as the ice crusader's fortress high in the mountains.

• The confrontation with Robert is shown as a horse ride and the final fight takes place in Jerusalem.
