Arena Breakout: Realistic FPS

I recently started playing this game, and I’ve honestly been having a blast. It runs INCREDIBLY smoothly (with a little bit of freezing in game, but I think that’s my wifi having issues) It’s a great game that takes up a total of just over 7gb currently, compared to Warzone mobile’s 10gb, and cod mobile’s 20gb. This game has run about the same speed as codm, and EXPONENTIALLY better than Warzone mobile. I genuinely mean exponentially. Warzone mobile has incredibly laggy UI, and often textures don’t load. This game has NONE of those issues. I wouldn’t call this game pay to win AT ALL. It’s actually really balanced monetization wise. Only p2w aspect is secure containers which you either need a voucher card for (extremely rare, I think you only get one when you download the game) or you need to pay a subscription per month. 2.99 usd per month for the smallest one, which is tolerable, but 8.99 for the other one, which is only 50% bigger. Overall, this game has been great. The in-raid UI is clunky, and as of now I haven’t found a fix to it, but there might be one. I think that the only TRULY BAD ISSUE is that it’s an extraction mobile game. It’s harder to find time where you KNOW you can sit down and play the raid, it’s much less convenient than other shorter match time games, like clash royale. If you do have time, it’s incredibly fun, and hats off to the developers for making a great game. It’s pretty freaking awesome.

Extraction shooter games being relatively newer titles don't have much in terms of accessibility unless you have a desktop computer, and usually a beefy one at that. This game takes a LOT of inspiration from Escape from Tarkov in the way it plays, yet its execution of bring the mobile extract shooter doesn't truely live up to its older cousins on PC. Don't get me wrong, it plays reliably well and can be a blast... sometimes. Unlike most other extraction shooters with polished features it feels as if the game had TOO many features planned. Only some guns are customizable, and with those that are some are very limited in that aspect. Clunky controls leads to randomly shooting on accident which gives away your position, and sometimes these controls leads to a death in a firefight you should have won. As well as those using micro-transactions to demolish most others who don't, a good example being their battle pass. The battle pass heavily favors those that spend the money, and by heavily I mean HEAVILY. If your played the free you might get a nice box with a small ammo selection on the same tier where the premium battle pass gets a full combat-ready kit. With some other problems as well can't rate it TOO high, yet with more activity from the developers (who's studio is owned by the same people who made popular games such as Clash of Clans) I am hopeful for a brighter future where this game flourishes into the beautiful flower that it was presented as.

So let’s clear one thing up. Most people who rate this game negative are complaining about a pay wall, or saying that anyone with premium armor they paid for can run through everyone. THAT IS NOT TRUE AT ALL!! Most armor can only protect your Head, Face, and Chest. Even premium armor. Some chest armor, can cover shoulders, and lower abdomen. Most helmets do not cover the ears. That means that arms, legs always take full damage while ears, lower gut, shoulder usually take full damage (ear shot is an instant kill) The trick is to shoot a players weak points. They have a mode call Covert Op where you play as a militant imposter, with the worst guns and ammo and armor. People in Covert Ops take down players with premium armor in every match I play. Including me from my scavenged premium armor. You can still die from having your limbs shot off. To sum it up. This is a skill based shoot and loot with loot tiers. The loot tiers make quality of life better but do not make anyone invincible. Sometimes you will live, sometimes you will die. It’s a hardcore game, that means don’t go in with anything you can’t afford to lose yet. Make a cheaper load-out, that you can mass produce, then loot and survive until you can increase your load-out value, without going broke in a few deaths. Happy hunting, and remember there is no point in dying with your pockets full of loot, when you could’ve extracted sooner.
