Garena Free Fire: Kalahari review

Garena Free Fire, otherwise known as Free Fire - Battlegrounds or just Free Fire, is a mobile battle royale game developed and published by Garena. It became the most downloaded mobile game of 2019 globally and was the fourth most-downloaded mobile game of the decade from 2010 to 2019.

The game is based on the last-man-standing concept where up to 50 players are dropped on an island called Kalahari, Africa, from a parachute. The objective of the game is to be the last person or team standing. Players can choose to play solo, in pairs or in squads of four.

When the match starts, players are given parachutes and equipped with a Glock 17 handgun with one magazine of 17 rounds. Players can then choose to land in any location on the map. Once they land, they need to search for weapons, ammunition and other supplies. The safe zone of the map shrinks over time, forcing players to move closer to each other. Players that are outside of the safe zone will receive damage over time. The last player or team standing wins the match.

The game offers a variety of weapons, from handguns and assault rifles to grenade launchers and sniper rifles. Weapon rarity is categorized into common, uncommon, rare, epic and legendary. The higher the rarity, the better the stats of the weapon. In addition to weapons, players can also find medkits, armor, Backpacks and other items that can help them survive.

The game also features a variety of vehicles, from cars and motorcycles to boats, that players can use to travel around the map. However, vehicles are not indestructible and can be damaged by players or the environment.

The graphics of the game are good for a mobile game. The textures are not the best but they are still decent. The environment is also well-designed. The game features a day-and-night cycle and the lighting changes accordingly.

The game is extremely fluid and the controls are very responsive. The firing mechanics are also great. The recoil of the guns feels realistic and the bullet drop is also well-implemented.

The game is free-to-play and is supported by microtransactions. Players can use real money to purchase in-game items such as weapons, clothes and emotes.

My verdict

I have been playing Free Fire for a few months now and I absolutely love it. It is by far my favorite mobile game. I highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for a good battle royale game to play on their mobile device.
