Description

Firefight is a World War II real-time simulation game with more AI and attention to detail than any other game in its genre to date. Tanks are modelled with a physics engine and have gears, rev counters and speedos, and steer themselves with brake levers to give them realistic looking tracked vehicle movement. Each bullet, shell or piece of shrapnel is modelled in 3D and ricochets realistically off sloping surfaces. You can see each infantryman's rank, name, weapon, ammunition remaining, heart rate and fatigue levels. Machine gunners will call for ammunition when they're running low and other squad members will rush over with spare ammo if they are carrying any. Wounded men call for medics who will sprint over to administer first aid. Off-board artillery can be called in but will have to fire several ranging shots before the full 8 gun battery opens fire simultaneously.

Play against either the sophisticated built-in AI, or a friend over the internet.

Version 10.4.0

- a yellow beam (instead of the usual grey one) now signifies that a unit can see an enemy but isn't shooting as it has been ordered by you not to shoot

Awesome but...

It's extremely fun just a shame about the micro transactions

Good game but

Tank AI is really bad and I mean really really bad. Why would a tank back up into a house, I been playing for a really long time and it does that and it’s been so annoying even though I don’t position it like that. Then there’s the tank turret facing backward when enemies are in the front. That happens so many time. The turret should always be facing the front unless I tell them to turn. In some case I do tell them to turn their turrets but in most case they doze off into random position. I wish you can add more to this game like a sandbox, make it iPhone friendly, select multiple units and make them do stuff as one. I wish you can actually drop paratrooper right in, more urban towns like Paris, Berlin and etc, I wish you can do levels where you have to defend against an attack and so on. I understand you are just one person and you have a life but I really see potential in this game and I really hope you can improve it, thank you.

I LOVE FIREFIGHT

One of the best not just mobile games but games in general! Sure 12.99 is a bit much for 9 maps but each one has eight different scenarios that take me at least 20 minutes to complete one. That’s 12.99 for 24 hours worth of gameplay which is much better than 99% of games. That is all without even mentioning that the gameplay is amazing and so unique! If you are on the fence about buying it I would tell you to go for it!
