Just like Shadowgun Legends drew comparisons to Destiny, it seems Madfinger has no problem wearing their inspirations on their sleeve. Given this description, it’s more than fair to say War Games bears quite a bit of resemblance to Overwatch. In addition to simply pointing guns at baddies and holding down the trigger (actually, the game shoots for you, but whatever), characters also have special powers that they can use to turn the tide of battle at a moment’s notice, provided they are fully charged. It also supports controller play.Įach character in Shadowgun War Games has their own distinct personality and weapons. Before you balk at playing an FPS using a touch screen, let me just say that Shadowgun War Games has surprisingly good controls and tons of customization options.

Shadowgun War Games is a 5v5 first-person shooter where players take control of unique hero characters to help their team blast away the competition and complete objectives. To my surprise, Shadowgun War Games is basically the same game that the beta promised, which is a very modest multiplayer shooter that prioritizes fairness and only monetizes visual variety. I just assumed things like the freemium grind were left out, alongside a bunch more maps, characters, and game modes. I was fully expecting Shadowgun War Games to be the same way, even after playing the closed beta ahead of release where there was no egregious monetization to be found.

My main problem with multiplayer mobile games these days is how the vast majority of them are designed to be pay-to-win.
