The app's homepage is cool with your avatar displayed at the front of your screen. You can change the avatar's look through the 'Avatar' button at the center-left of the screen. You can also unlock and upgrade a variety of weapons through the 'Armory' button below the 'Avatar button'. The 'Store' option allows for getting cash and coins required for upgrading the weapons you can use in the game. There are two gaming options namely 'Custom' and 'Battle'. If you login with Facebook then you can view your online friends and play an exclusive game with your friends in the 'Custom' game mode. Otherwise, you can play with random online players through the 'Battle' game mode.
There are three gaming modes in both 'Custom' and 'Battle' modes. They are named 'Free for All', 'Team Deathmatch' and 'Practice'. The 'Free for All' mode is where each player is on his own and goes into battle against six other players. You need to kill as many as you can before you are killed and the player with the highest number of kills after a certain time wins the game. The 'Team Deathmatch' is a 3v3 game where you get two teammates and three enemies. You need to target and kill you enemies and the team with the highest number of kills wins the game. The 'Practice' mode is where you get training about survival and shooting. The mode has two training modules with the first one called 'Training' and the other one called 'Survival'.

The gameplay itself is interesting to say the least. You can move around in order to find enemies and then direct your fire at them in order to score kills. It is important to be able to defend or keep moving in order to avoid enemy fire as much as possible in order to survive long enough to score higher number of kills. Once killed, you are respawned after five seconds and can resume the game. Every time you are killed, you are shown the current kill scores of each player to give you an idea of how you are doing in the game. The 2D graphics are adept with the maps offering obstacles that can both create problems and help you out. The controls are tricky with movement joystick present on the left of the screen and the shooting joystick present on the right of the screen. The controls can take a lot of time to get used to but with good practice in the 'Practice' mode, you can gain good enough control soon enough.

The multiplayer game ensures that when you play a game, you are normally matched with similar players. This is done by creating map restrictions in the gaming modes and only unlocking bigger maps as you get more kills and win more games. Your level of expertise can be gauged by your military rank as you start as a Private and get upgrades as you get more kills.

Features:

• Good app design
• Nice Practice mode where you can learn the basics of the game
• Two different gaming modes where you can battle against other players
