Gears POP! had 1 million+ users within its first week of launch, with the hype behind the franchise itself likely pushing that further along. It's been compared to Clash Royale several times but still captures what makes the Gears franchise itself, including advancing from cover points to defeat enemies. The Funko Pop characters was an interesting choice, but one that doesn't do anything to harm its reputation for fans of the typically grittier franch
Like hardpoint and domination, it's not always about getting only kills. Some of these modes require planning and good execution. A lot of players only care about getting the most kills and a lot of times, this does more harm than good to the t
Gunsmith is being added to Call of Duty Mobile . Each weapon will have nine attachment slots and more than 50 attachments and gun perks to choose from when customizing their weapon. This is the same amount as found in Modern Warfare , granting players a similar experience. The Gunsmith feature has been highly anticipated by fans as one of the "must have" additions to this ti
Despite using mostly the same locations, textures, and assets, the Undead Siege version of Isolated looks completely different than what players are used to from Battle Royale. The portion of the map that the mode is played out on has been heavily affected by the Aether, the element that caused the zombie plague in the first place. This makes the map a whole lot darker and emptier, lending the well-known locations a fresh look and atmosph
Legendary and Epic weapons are now Blueprints. Blueprints are variants of the base weapons that come with various cosmetic differences as well as curated pre-equipped attachments. These attachments are pre-equipped on each specific blueprint without needing to level up the base weapon to unlock t
Elder Scrolls 6 may be fading from minds until Bethesda shows more of its hand, but the franchise still has more to offer like The Elder Scrolls: Blades . First available as an early access title, this game provides a fairly straightforward action RPG experience set between the events of Oblivion and Skyrim , though its overall structure does somewhat seem limited by mobile devices. Yet, despite technical limitations, players find themselves in yet another chapter of the Elder Scrolls franchise, and it seemingly does its best to show how much mobile gaming has gr
Sky: Children of Light boasts a number of accolades, including being nominated for best mobile game at the Game Awards 2019 , mobile game of the year at the Golden Joystick Awards, and won Apple's iPhone Game of the Year award. Players explore seven unique realms themed around life by using a magical cape that allows players to fly, which can be leveled up. There's a huge focus on befriending others and unlocking new abilities as that friendship gr
The intuitive controls and nostalgic maps and characters combined with its portability and accessibility made for a great experience, but it was lacking one thing: zombies. Now, the developers have announced a release date for Call of Duty: Mobile Zombies, the dead will rise again tomorrow, Friday November 2
Another much requested addition is the inclusion of controller support. Controllers are not currently supported on Call of Duty: Mobile , and fans have been eager to see this changed. It is nice to see the developers responding so quickly and adequately to their player base's desires. This may end up being a trait that keeps the game afloat longer than expec
Something that could have let the developers free up the HUD would have been controller support. Unfortunately, Call of Duty Mobile toyed with controller support, but it has since been removed from the game (or may not have ever been truly implemented at all; there are conflicting reports and by the time we played the game, it definitely wasn't available). Call of Duty Mobile mouse and keyboard support is also technically possible, but we didn't try it. While some may feel that these extra controller options would give some players an unfair advantage, it seems unlikely, especially if one uses the simple control scheme. Ultimately, it just means less options for players, and so it's a little disappointing to see controller support remo
Activision mobile strategy responded with the inclusion of time-limited Zombie mode events, which allowed players to experience the traditional Zombies mode action on classic maps from games like Call of Duty: Black Ops II , as well as other COD titles that included the fan-favorite mode. After a long period of absence, Zombies have finally returned to COD Mobile, although in a different format than what we've grown accustomed to over the ye
While the huge map is definitely one reason why Call of Duty Mobile 's battle royale matches sometimes go on too long, another is the game's use of bots. Call of Duty Mobile features bots that populate matches for players at lower skill levels. This isn't a terrible idea on paper, but the bots are not nearly as aggressive or smart as real players. It's not uncommon to find bots in Call of Duty Mobile just standing on cliffsides in the battle royale mode, doing nothing but waiting to get discovered and killed. The developers are also sneaky about implementing the bots, giving them names that look like real player names, instead of properly labeling them. This can make it difficult to determine if a victory was really earned or just came about because the enemy team was populated by b
