There is also the fact that Critical Force are pushing hard into the e-sports scene, which is a feature that is pulled off much easier with smaller teams of players like in Critical Ops. This pretty much means they are in the same market, but with a growing number of players interested in playing shooters on mobile comes a greater number of players who are familiar with a shooter control scheme.Ĭritical Force believe that this can lead to an influx of players in Critical Ops, who are already familiar with the game type and will therefore ease into it much easier than a newcomer to the genre.
The company believes that battle royale genre will positively impact Critical Ops regardless, and they have listed several similarities and differences between Critical Ops and the battle royale games on mobile devices.įor example, the developers have been cited as saying that "Critical Ops gameplay is based on an existing PC experience", no kidding, and therefore is in the same boat as the battle royale games. The developers will instead focus on furthering their e-sports agenda for the game. Critical Force have recognised the massive success of the battle royale genre in pc, console and mobile gaming, but apparently there are no immediate plans of introducing a battle royale mode to Critical Ops.
This success didn't come over night, but through a rather long string of good decisions and emulation of Counter Strike on mobile devices over the years.
