T3 Arena review — A new mobile arena shooter with a lot of flair

If you’re short on time and want to play a more competitive game, you don’t have to go far. T3 Arena is a new 3v3 arena shooter perfect for quick gameplay on the go. The game launches for iOS via the App Store on his May 26th and is also available for Android via TapTap. There are tons of different features and modes, and even competitive seasons for those looking to climb the ranks. If you’re still unfamiliar with the T3 Arena, we’ll walk you through it.

T3 Arena is a free-to-play arena shooter that pits teams of three against each other in a variety of modes during just a few minutes of matches. The game is becoming increasingly popular with a diverse and exciting cast of characters to choose from depending on how you play the game, like Gloria who has a shotgun for close range and an assault rifle for long range. It features a “hero” system. And the Quicksand Bomb, which slows down enemies before it explodes, deals massive damage to anyone within range. Unlike , these characters can also level up themselves to increase their health and other stats to make them more effective in the arena. It’s a Mercy/Lifeline support hybrid that can keep your team in combat while dealing fairly average damage.

The Overwatch atmosphere is really big in the T3 Arena. The gameplay can feel frantic at times, and a well-placed ultimate attack can quickly change the tide of battle. Or you can go free-for-all and take on the entire lobby. For the most part, with the exception of Crystal Assault, the mode is very familiar if you play other competitive arena shooters. In this mode, each team has a crystal that must be defended while trying to destroy the other team’s crystal. In this mode, there were many times very tight battles with no decisive winner until the end. Not all modes are available out of the box. Again, you’ll have to unlock it by leveling up while playing in the previous mode, starting with Team Deathmatch.

Season 1 of T3 Arena ended about two weeks ago and we’re now heading headlong into Season 2 of Lights On. Season 1 was a great introduction to the game and had no shortage of content with 20 different heroes to choose from, 15 maps, and 7 game modes including the one above. Season 2 introduces Gale another new hero named Yaa, an agility expert who uses his pistol to literally blow rivals away with wind ammunition. Four new maps are also introduced, including the new Temple Ruins map for Crystal Assault and the Chinatown map for Payload Race, designed to give players more opportunities for a tactical approach. Also, some adjustments have been made to some gameplay mechanics and modes to make the gameplay more interesting.

The T3 Arena is just that sweet spot for mobile shooters. Compared to other mobile shooters such as PUBG Mobile, Apex Legends Mobile (which I reviewed, read it here), and Call of Duty Mobile, touch controls are simple. The controls can be adjusted to personal taste, but the defaults are so easy to use that you won’t need to change any settings. One thing you’ll notice right away is that there’s no “button” to fire the weapon. Instead, your weapon automatically starts firing when there’s an enemy in front of you. Of course, there are limits to this. It will not fire until the target is within the weapon’s effective range, as if using a shorter-range weapon like a shotgun. Use the left side of the screen to move your character like in all other mobile shooters, and the right side to aim. All the “skills” buttons are also on the right side. Holding down on a throwable, like a grenade, allows you to move your finger to aim before releasing it, so you don’t accidentally waste it. you are in control

eSports is what I’m most interested in at T3 Arena. In my opinion, the game has great potential in this area. TapTap is TapTap All-Star Tournament Not long ago it had over 100,000 combined plays, but I’d love to see a bigger event around this title. If there’s one mobile game that I feel will be a truly sustainable mobile eSports scene, it’s T3 Arena. There is already a large community surrounding this game. Among them are his active Discord server with thousands of members and content creators his community with over 1 million total views.

I have a few minor complaints about the game.I hope the devs look at how characters respawn in team deathmatch mode.Currently players respawn in their original starting position . This makes it very easy to spawn him camp for the rest of the game if your team is overwhelmed by the enemy team. To prevent this from happening in the future, I think characters should respawn in random locations on the map. While setting spawn locations makes sense in objective-based modes like Crystal Assault and Payload Escort, Team Deathmatch is meant to be more fluid. Also, it would be nice if you could switch characters in the middle of the game if the first character you chose doesn’t work out.

There are also quite a few microtransactions, such as different tier loot boxes called Rumble Boxes, Battle Passes, cryptocurrencies called T Gems, and skins, but thankfully they don’t go overboard with that. to win. There is an in-game currency called T-Coin that you can use to buy Power Cores to level up your heroes faster, but you also earn that currency while playing and also from loot boxes you receive along the way. I can do it. Aside from buying loot boxes and getting some, you’re not buying your way to the top with T-Coin.
