Warzone Mobile: A Battle Royale Experience in Your Pocket
Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile is a free-to-play Battle Royale game that brings the thrilling experience of its older sibling to mobile devices. The game sets an ambitious task of bringing one of the most popular battle royales to mobile devices. It’s encouraging to see that the experience has been simplified and optimized for phones without losing the game’s identity.The game drops players back into a 120-player lobby version of Verdansk, focusing on refining a familiar experience for a new platform. The user interface feels intuitive and easy to grasp, with toggleable automations implemented to remove some of the clunkiness that comes with playing a shooter on a touchscreen. These include auto firing, vaulting over obstacles, and sprint lock1.Warzone Mobile still feels unmistakably like its older sibling. It offers traditional-length matches, but there’s also a shorter 10-minute mode which feels perfectly suited for those who want to dip in and out. Much like Warzone’s existing rotational playlists, Warzone Mobile also supports solos, duos, trios, and quads1.Staple features like the gulag and cash system return untouched, but new features introduced in Warzone 2.0, such as the ability to pause mid-reload and slide-to-prone also make their way across. The only compromise is the addition of AI bots to combat long queue times1.Overall, Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile offers surprisingly good touchscreen controls. It provides a perfect showcase for how well iOS can run mobile games, as well as how those games are starting to overcome the limitations of their platform. It’s much better than expected and seems to nail the basics.
