Farlight 84 Game Review: Take part in a combat royale in a post-apocalyptic world

10K View2021-11-15

At first impression, Farlight 84 resembles Fortnite Mobile. If players have played Fortnite, the general futuristic vibe with the weaponry, structures, and other graphical features will immediately remind them of it. It retains its unique and futuristic aspects, but it appears to be pretty dull. Nonetheless, it does not appear to be too horrible, and the gameplay is passable.

A new futuristic appearance has been introduced to the game, which has identical gameplay

Farlight 84 isn't all that different from other Battle Royale games. You've been thrown into a conflict, and you have to be the last team standing. The pods you drop out of are one of the game's coolest components since they make more sense than being in an aircraft or something similar because if people are going to kill each other anyhow, why not do it now? The landing animation is also a little clunky, although this is something that may be addressed. You'll need to collect weapons and other items as soon as you arrive, as well as eliminate players before they kill you.

One of the other concerns that gamers may confront is looting. Some weapons seemed to appear more frequently than others while playing. Sniper rifles, for example, appeared to be dropped more frequently than SMGs or Assault Rifles. When compared to Call of Duty: Mobile or PUBG Mobile, the locations on the map where there are structures with loot felt small as well, and there was a lot of space between them, making looting more difficult. The weaponry, especially the sniper rifles, is a touch clumsy. Aiming also doesn't feel natural or smooth. Player movement is likewise clumsy and less fluid than in other games, with occasional frame dips and graphic abnormalities.To stay alive, use hovering autos and energy-powered weapons

There are a few elements in the game that remind you that you're in a post-apocalyptic future. To begin with, there are energy-powered firearms. Quite impressive. Then there are hovering automobiles, which look nice but have poor control, especially on uneven terrain, and zombies (always a win! Or at least most of the time...). They aren't really frightening, but the prospect of stumbling onto them while being distracted by another player keeps you on edge and alert.

Aside from the usual battle royale mode, there's also a mode called Hunt, which involves players receiving nametags from adversaries they've defeated (the player is briefed on the number on the tag required) and is a newer game option, but it's fairly enjoyable if you ignore the graphic defects. Keep in mind that you aren't the only hunter. The game doesn't have anything to offer presently, and it feels like something may be added in the future, such as game modes like Team Death Matches and other game modes found in games like PUBG Mobile and Call of Duty: Mobile. However, it's possible that more material will be introduced in the future, and it's preferable that the game perfects these game modes first.

Graphics are average, but the controls are completely configurable

As previously stated, the graphics aren't really impressive. They're not horrible, but if they were going for a Fortnite-style aesthetic, they definitely fell short. The audio is adequate, but due to poor audio effects, recognizing where an adversary is based on their footfall or other sounds is more difficult than it may be in other games.

The game's controls and user interface are actually rather good. The controls are totally adjustable, and the user interface is simple. There are no commercials in the game, which is always a plus, and there are In-App Purchases, but they are mostly aesthetic and you are not obligated to purchase if you don't want to.

Final Verdict

If Farlight 84 is polished up a bit, it could be a fairly good game. It may seem unfair to compare it to larger titles with superior production qualities, but it's difficult not to think about them when playing yet another game in a genre that's quickly becoming crowded with half-assed titles that deliver a lousy experience at best.►►►►►►►►►►►►►►►►►►►►
