Have you ever heard of a lightweight, fast-paced first-person shooter game?
I know most of you might not be familiar with this concept, and even the internet doesn’t offer a clear answer. So, what is a lightweight FPS game? These are games designed for everyone, running smoothly on both low and high-end devices—they’re compatible with 99.99% of devices without any issues. They don’t require much storage space and are ideal for new gamers.
That’s the short definition of a lightweight FPS game.
Today, we’re reviewing a new lightweight FPS title: FTW (FOR THE WIN).
As with every review, we’ll cover everything this game offers for both free and paid players. So, without wasting any more time, let’s get started!
Information Let’s start by learning about the game. FTW (FOR THE WIN) is developed and published by Its Jungle, a new Web3 game studio. Like many other Web3 games, FTW is also exploring the integration of cryptocurrency within the game.
UI Now let's talk about game UI, for some people this not a big deal but for me it is. if ui is not good that means i am not a long time player in that game. And This game user interface is well-designed and easy to navigate. The layout is clear, with important information like player level, progress, and upcoming events prominently displayed. The character art and color scheme are visually appealing, creating an engaging atmosphere. The buttons and icons are intuitive, making it easy for players to understand and interact with the game. While some minor adjustments could be made, such as increasing text size and ensuring button consistency, the overall UI provides a positive user experience.
Controls Game controls are currently missing essential features like Layout Hub and Sensitivity settings. This significantly limits gameplay options, preventing the use of advanced techniques such as three-finger and four-finger claw grips. Additionally, the lack of customizable sensitivity for different weapons hinders personalized gameplay experiences. These limitations negatively impact the overall control scheme, potentially affecting player performance and enjoyment. But this not a bad point and you going to find out why soon.
Mechanic's Game mechanics are exceptionally well-designed, setting a new standard for the genre. They are intuitive and easy to grasp, making the game accessible to both newcomers and seasoned players alike. Unlike Indus Battle Royale, which can sometimes feel clunky and unresponsive, this game boasts a smooth and seamless gameplay experience. The simplicity of the mechanics allows players to focus on the core gameplay loop, leading to a more enjoyable and rewarding experience.
Graphics Graphics is not that good because this game still in early access stage. The resolution is relatively low, and the textures seem somewhat blurry. When you play the game you not feel that but when you take screenshots and record the game you can easily see that. The lighting and shadows are basic, and there is a noticeable lack of detail in some areas. Overall, the graphics are functional but not particularly impressive. They are likely sufficient for a mobile game, but i can't say super good but playable.
Gameplay The gameplay is straightforward but brings some new and unique features. When the game starts, you’re given a randomized loadout, which includes two guns, a hero, and two support items. Sometimes you get lucky with strong weapons, but other times, you might end up with just two pistols. When I get weaker weapons, it actually adds to the challenge, turning it into a hardcore match, which feels incredibly fun.
There are two different game modes: Team Deathmatch (TDM) and Battle Royale (BR). Both modes are a blast, and I know you’re going to love them. In Battle Royale, you can loot and find your favorite weapons, but in TDM, you can’t pick your loadout, adding an extra layer of challenge. This game has a competitive vibe, especially with weekly tournaments to keep things exciting.
One more thing—every hero in the game has unique special abilities. Go explore and discover them yourself; I won’t spoil the thrill for you!
Rating I’m giving this game a solid 7 out of 10 stars. If you have a low-end device, I highly recommend giving it a try—it runs smoothly without issues. For high-end device users, this game is fun to play, but don’t expect features on par with games like COD or Warzone.
On the plus side, this game has no ping, graphics, or lag issues, which warzone mobile have.
