Tencent Games does it again with Call of Duty Mobile

Call of Duty Mobile has landed on Android and iOS y not smoothly at launch (It was impossible to start it in the first hours). We tested this new online multiplayer that promises a lot for a simple reason: it is not a pay to win.

Various information had put to CODM as a pay to win game. That is, you buy a submachine gun in which you have left 12 euros and you begin to give good to all your enemies. To our great luck, here is Tencent Games with the same PUBG Mobile freemium model. In other words, we are talking about what you will pay for cosmetic items.

Undoubted quality, but aimed at fast games

In Call of Duty Mobile we have a wide variety of modes that we can play. From the lifelong Call of Duty like that Battle Royale also present here. But something tells us that it is more aimed at those games with small maps in which the strategies change and are more the "Call of Duty" of a lifetime.

With this we do not mean that the Battle Royale mode is lazy, not at all, the truth is that it is simply spectacular. But the performance of the same is not what we can obtain of other how is PUBG Mobile. That is to say, the games on the small maps are characterized by a technical and visual display that we don't see in another shooter, but when we move it to a larger map, with those panoramic views of mountains and more (yes, everything very nice), we feel that our Galaxy Note 10+ begins to weaken and we do not have that fluidity in FPS that we do feel in the smaller maps.

That is, if the Battle Royale is going, better go to PUBG Mobile, and if you want the Call of Duty of a lifetime, you are going to have a game for many, many months. Because the graphics are spectacular, we can switch between the first or third person view as we please, we have endless customizations for the weapons and there are enough modes to have fun and have a great time.

Moving on to the gameplay

Tencent Games has done a great job in bringing us to Call of Duty to our mobiles. The performance is excellent and the hud works like a charm to import some of the best interactions we have in PUBG Mobible. That is, we can extend the stick up to run automatically or we have the same audio and speaker buttons next to the map.

The truth is that there is no better company right now for adapt console and PC gaming experiences on a mobile. That is, we are talking about the best at optimizing those experiences to those touch screens in which mainly many will play with two fingers, the right and left thumb.

Having said that, Call of Duty Mobile honors previous titles with a great technical display and those animations, sound effects and visuals that make a dent in the player accustomed to "softer" things from his mobile. Call of Duty is a lot of generous contributions by Tencent Games to place it as one of the best multiplayer online games of the moment.

The same freemium model from PUBG Mobile

And if something works in one game, why not take it to another? We had our doubts about the fact that it was a pay to win. But we are very wrong. We even have a pass royale which will allow us, thanks to an amount to be paid every two months, to enjoy a series of cosmetic objects as we complete missions; by the way, you are at the best time to buy it, since at launch they tend to be kinder with the things they give away.

Call of Duty Mobile leaves us with a great taste in our mouths and with the feeling that we can play in any way depending on whether we are with colleagues, alone or even creating our own room for schoolmates or uni. It is an all in one, although we see it more aimed at small and medium maps.

It should be noted that in Battle Royale we even have large-caliber vehicles and, as in small maps, we have predefined combatants for their role on the battlefield. Since what are the doctors to those snipers; for example, the medic in combat can cast a healing radius to make teammates heal. It is an example of everything there is to see in Call of Duty Mobile and this article is more than short.

In general terms, Call of Duty Mobile is one of the new kings of online multiplayer to position itself next to Fortnite and PUBG Mobile. If you were looking for action up close, you already have your favorite game for many months. Of course, prepare a good terminal to enjoy a good console experience.
