Blood Strike is a battle royale hero shooter with fast-paced matches, several fun game modes, and Bluetooth controller support.
As in all similar games, each match in Blood Strike has us drop in from the sky, run around to find the best possible weapons and items, and try to become the last man standing. The game is played alone or in teams of 2 or 4.
But unlike games like PUBG Mobile or Call of Duty Warzone: Mobile, Blood Strike is a hero shooter, which means we start each match by selecting one of several heroes. These each have unique abilities, such as being able to fire a long-range missile, activating a shield barrier, and more – all of which come in handy especially when playing in a team.
Inside each match, we earn money by killing enemies and completing random quests, such as controlling an area for a minute. This currency can then be spent buying pre-built loadouts that will drop in from the sky.
We set up these loadouts in-between playing matches and customizing them is the best way to gain an edge, as they allow us to not depend entirely on finding random gear.
Apart from battle royale, the game also features several more traditional multiplayer matches, all of which have fast matchmaking. Although to be fair, I do expect we’re matched against bots to fill up the teams.
The game is well-optimized and runs smoothly on my device. The controls work as expected, and there’s even controller support. The biggest downside is that the terrain gets blurry when sniping from long distances.
Blood Strike monetizes via iAPs for cosmetics that don’t provide any pay-to-win advantages. They do let us unlock weapon attachments faster, but it doesn’t take long to grind these through gameplay.
