Combat Master is trying so hard to be Warzone Mobile, although I think they actually didn't have to. I mean... Gulag mode, Seriously? No better name on the plate?
The visual of Combat Master is close to the feel of Warzone Mobile. It's a mixed bag. Because, I think it's just too much green everywhere.
But before the color issue, I think the technical aspect of the graphics is good enough for a lot of people. Instead of all-dynamic render, the game utilizes Baked lighting and Shadows for the world to optimize the game significantly. There are also many options in graphics settings that you can tailor as you like. Because other than color, there is one more issue the game has.
Average performance is actually good. The game runs 60fps okay with some dips here and there on my Snapdragon 870. The settings? It's mixed between Ultra and Medium. The reason is, when I set to Ultra, the game has ridiculous Freezing issue everytime I want to go here or there. Any new effects on screen the game just freeze for seconds, not enough to cause crash but enough to get me killed from falling many times. The medium setting I used is simply the Mipmap speed (defines how quickly maximum textures are loaded when close to player), because this reduces the freeze significantly, and overall draw distance for small objects/high quality objects too reduced to mitigate the framedrop. Other than that, they are all at max settings. Include resolution, fps, shadows, and all, because they don't seem to cause much inconsistency anyway.
So what's missing compared to warzone? Well, the blur (I meant the TAA antialiasing isn't present in this game), volumetric lighting (y'know that nice fog beamed with sun and you can see the godrays), bloom (the shiny effects on reflective surfaces), and PBR shaders (when you see container it looks like metal, concrete does feel like concrete, or walls painted and not painted are felt realistically differentiated, yeah you don't find those Warzone features on CM), which those all are all nice additions. But if I didn't point them out you probably don't even care if it's missing. The graphics still looks very good here.
Now now what I showed you here both screenshot and clips are FAKE. They're not the actual graphics of this game. I meant the color. The color is changed. I actually really prefer them to just leave the green tint that copies warzone, just go with more natural color CODM has. All you see here is already "fixed" with nice color balance and contrast. Which I definitely rooted for compared to just green mamba everywhere.
Now the gunplay is underwhelming. I like fun that when shot, the Weapon to has a nice punch to environment. The crack of the opponents should be sound. The impact on materials could've been much more punchy. And deafening gun sound might be an option. But it's all skipped. The only nice feel I have from guns here is when reloading. They did a good job there. But otherwise it lacks polish here and there. Still fun and fast paced game.
You can slide, parkour, and move very easily at superhuman speed comparable to CODM. While for some this feels like a downgrade from Warzone more detailed and "smoother" animations, some others think this is more responsive and controllable.
And you can do all that cool stuff on mostly 2 modes. Battle royale with Gulag mechanic--Yes, they just called it gulag like it's a new idea--and multiplayer which is as good as Warzone multiplayer gets. By that I mean it's not great. So I only here for Battle Royale aspect.
It's very nice that there is a game I can finally pitch to my friends regardless of their SoC. So then we can play this together with my friends. Right?... uh... Yeah no. I don't know how to say this... It's coming soon.
Oh yeah there are a LOT of things "coming soon". Chopper, already ingame, but labeled "coming soon" of you try to get in. Cars "coming soon" yet already ingame. Duo/trio. Yep those are not here yet. Kill streak, coming soon. Voice chat, I mean they probably should work on friends parties first before anything else.
Yet, opening the game from day one bombard you with so many skins. Really nice and well presented ones too. Honestly their skin showcase is the BEST of any games out there. Far surpass any kind of polished the game has on any other aspects. Which none of us appreciate... Please deliver the game feature first before 10 Premium skin bundles, Duh!?
Conclusion:
COMING SOON
I hate games that has its movement all based on slide cancelling and fast paced movement, I want a game that actually feels like I am holding a some weight for the guns and the things I am wearing.
