Engadget reports that Android will soon see its first Unreal 3 engine based game this month in the form of Dungeon Defenders: First Wave. The Unreal 3 engine powers such iOS games as Infinity Blade. Dungeon Defenders just dropped on iOS recently, and should be on Android (2.1 and higher) on December 23rd.

Dungeon Defenders is an online multiplayer tower defense game with some excellent graphics. But it's those graphics that will be keeping a lot of Android users from joining the party. Developer Trendy Entertainment has included a list of minimum specs that phones will need to have to run the game. We're looking at 512MB of RAM, an 800MHz processing core, a GPU capable of OpenGL ES 2.0, and 400MB of free storage space on the SD card.

Most high-end phones released in the last year should be able to meet the minimum specs. Even the quickly fading Nexus One is listed as fully compatible. Trendy did, however, point out that the game will run best on a Tegra 2 handset. Only one of those has been announced, and it's not slated for sale in the US yet.
