Summary
Blitz Brigade is a free to play mobile first person shooter from Gameloft that features class-based characters and deathmatch-like battles. The game also features character customization and freemium items that can be bought with real money. Many aspects of the game, ranging from its graphics to its gameplay, are heavily inspired by the popular MMOFPS by Valve, Team Fortress 2.
Plotline
Its setting is more of a 1940’s alternate era where the world is still at World War II, the characters have a certain cartoonish art style that from the pinup posters in the 40’s. Each of the characters featured in the game have their own origin story that also tells why they’ve joined the fight.
Gameplay
Blitz Brigade borrows heavily on the entire structure of Team Fortress 2, all from the gameplay up to the theme, but getting inspiration from a popular is not a bad idea especially when Blitz Brigade tries to provide some different take on the entire team-based game.
The controls of the game is similar that to any gamepad-based control scheme. The left part lets you control the movement of your character while the right side allows you to aim and adjust your view. The shoot button is on the right side along with the aim function and the other function, such as sprint, jump and other special abilities are found on the edges of the screen. You can adjust the control scheme that suits your style, but for those who are used in playing FPS on mouse & keyboard or game controller may not enjoy the virtual controls on a smart phone.
There are six types of characters in the game; Soldier, Gunner, Medic, Sniper, Stealth and Demolisher. Each class plays differently and each has a unique ability that plays a major role in the game, the medic can heal or revive members while the gunner can withstand more damage and stealth can become invisible for a surprise attack. And every class use different weapons that unique to their roles.
What makes Blitz Brigade different this time is that it features vehicles in certain maps. They can be from patrol jeeps to tanks or even aircrafts, all of them are controlled differently and can play a crucial role depending on the game mode you are participating. And to some cases, you can even customize these vehicle, but at a cost of real money.
There are several game modes that players can try out. From the classic deathmatch where you and your team must eliminate the opposing team within the time limit and get the most number of points, then there is the domination mode where you must capture the bases on the map, and the most number of captures wins, and the capture the flag mode where you must steal the enemy team’s flag and bring it back to your base and avoid getting your flag stolen. Or everyone can just go with free for all and fight everyone in the map as there will be no allies in this mode. The matchmaking feature in the game allows you to find any active matches with the best latency in your location to ensure a less laggy game experience.
Character customization is abundant in Blitz Brigade, from adding different set of costumes from hats, you can also change your voice lines and taunts, which is rather unique for a mobile FPS game. Weapons can also be purchased, with different themed arsenals to match with your bizarre costumes, and the interesting part with the weapons is that you can upgrade them to increase their performance in battle. You can earn upgrade materials as rewards or purchase them on the item mall.
Community
The game may have inspirations to Team Fortress 2, which is one of the popular online games, Blitz Brigade only has few players active. There are cases where you will be in a match with few players participating, not enough to fill the 10 player cap on some matches, but when you manage to find a full team, the mayhem is really fun and exciting. You can add friends to play the game or add players as your friend for easy team matching and coordination.
Graphics/ Sound
The game follows the art style of Team Fortress 2, hence having a 40’s theme with cartoony style that may resemble those from the pinup posters. It gives color to the characters and personality that help make it stand out. The sound effects are also impressive, managing to provide great audio on the weapons as well as some good voice acting for the dialogues. Music is also inspired on the 40’s with heavy on saxophones and jazz-like tunes.
Conclusion
Despite some commonalities with Team Fortress 2, Blitz Brigade is still an exciting game to play due to its fun gameplay and its very competitive community. The game will feel quite different from the usual PC-based shooters as well because of the very different and unique controls. Nonetheless, players who are tired of the modern-day shooters... especially those who are also fans of TF2, will definitely enjoy playing this game thanks to the familiar look and feel. Do give it a try today!
