At first glance, I thought restricting the purchase of an item as important as a medikit to premium currency was going to be a deal-breaker, especially considering the difficulty increase in later levels. Tokens are primarily to unlock perks and weapons sooner than the prescribed levels, but they are also used to purchase grenades, claymores and medikits, which are used in-mission to revive allies that fall (no unlimited respawns in this game). If you’ve managed to check out Strike Team’s App Store page, you’ll notice the appearance of IAP in the form of premium ‘Token’ currency. Survival mode and social network hooks round out the features by supplementing the game’s campaign with additional replayability. In typical series fashion, the game does a great job doling out experience for lots of different actions. There’s also a pretty deep squad load-out system, with experience earned in-game unlocking weapons and perks that can be used to outfit your teammates. Visuals are top-notch while preserving that fast framerate that Call of Duty games are known for. Supplementing the game’s story and gameplay is an impressive amount of depth and quality of presentation that can be found throughout Strike Team. ![]() The game’s relatively short missions also make the game very approachable in bite-sized chunks. The fact you can instantly switch to FPS means when the going gets tough, you can start taking out enemies on your own without having to rely on the AI. Tactical mode lets you see all visible enemies at the same time and also provides the opportunity to initiate flanking techniques, retreat orders, and stealth commands. This leads to a great deal of supplemental strategy that isn’t even found on console CoD games. Even better, both modes are always available, meaning players can easily switch between them at a moment’s notice. While FPS mode is what you’d expect on a touchscreen (complete with virtual buttons galore), tactical view is an excellent addition that works really well on the touch screen. In addition to the standard first-person shooter mode, Strike Team allows players to switch to a birds-eye third-person tactical view that lets you direct your squad with simple move and attack commands. There’s also a decent amount of content simply in the campaign, something that I appreciate.Īs a CoD game, Strike Team has a few elements up its sleeve that show that it really was designed for mobile. More importantly, I found the overall campaign narrative to be pretty enjoyable with just enough intrigue to provide encouragement to keep going. Call of Duty games of late have had stories that border on the ridiculous, and Strike Team is no exception. Set in the Black Ops II universe, Strike Team follows a squad of troops as they look to battle Cordis Die, a pseudo-terrorist organization with ill intent. Successfully taking the essence of Call of Duty and infusing it into a mobile package, Strike Team is a must-own. While this alone would make most gamers hyped to check it out, I’m happy to report that Strike Team is simply an incredible game in its own right. Even more interesting was Strike Team being billed as a whole new Call of Duty adventure, and not just a port of a gameplay mode from a console game. Considering it’s been nearly two years since we’ve seen a Call of Duty game hit iOS, we were pretty surprised when the folks at Activision seemed to conjure up Call of Duty: Strike Team ($6.99) out of thin air. ![]()
