If you struggle with the standard options, don’t worry, all of the controls can be adjusted in any way you see fit. You can even make skins yourself and sell them on the game if you wish.Īlthough you’ll probably lose frequently at first due to panicking during tense situations or simply figuring out how to move, aim, and shoot all at the same time, the learning curve is part of the game.

Many mobile games are “Free to play, Pay to win.” Standoff 2 does have features available for donations, but overall the game is very balanced and these tools don’t help so much it makes the game unfair. With different game modes, a generous selection of weapons, and decent graphics, it may be the best thing the mobile shooter genre has seen. This multiplayer game has a surprising amount of depth to it. Standoff 2 is a no nonsense first person shooter that started the mobile FPS genre. It creates a sense of intrigue, motivation and keeps the interest for the game there indefinitely. Which you can of course, sell on the market. Not to mention that the game complements this with competitive games and prizes in the form of skins. This has always been part of the appeal and core gameplay loop for the famous franchise and Standoff 2 replicates this admirably. Not to mention, this game follows the trend set by CS:GO of using skins as a commodity and creating a marketplace for said skins. This game also has a fine community of players that you can interact with and compare yourself against via leaderboards. Which only highlights what this game was doing right. In fact, this exact same layout is used in the fully licensed Call of Duty Mobile title. This unparalleled performance also translates to the controls and mechanics which feel so accessible and familiar.

Each asks for different skills and tactical awareness from the player and on the mobile platform at the time of released, this was unparalleled. With the four normal modes on offer being team death match, defuse, arms race and sniper duel. The game also uses game modes that replicate those present in CS:GO. The visuals for this title, although not anywhere near the standard of the PC inspiration, are outstanding for the mobile platform, allowing players to fully immerse themselves in battles without janky textures or poor models getting in the way of a engaging experience. Standoff 2 is wonderful at faithfully capturing the essence of what makes CS:GO so special and bottling it up into a condensed and concise mobile app.
