Point Blank: Strike vs Tanki Online
Point Blank: Strike
Point Blank: Strike is the mobile version of Nexon's popular PC-based MMOFPS game, Point Blank. Similar to its PC counterpart, the game looks just like the original, with tons of classic Point Blank maps (Bunker, Burning Hall and Crackdown), weapons, avatars, and game modes (Team Deathmatch, Demolition, Emblem Match, AI Battle, etc) painstakingly recreated on the mobile platform, offering players a much better FPS experience.The controls, however, will have to be changed due to the lack of a keyboard and mouse, but the changes made are pretty okay so far, allowing players to enjoy intense and thrilling FPS action without too huge of a shift from other FPS apps in either GooglePlay or the AppStore... though there are still some bits that could be improved on.
Point Blank: Strike aims to bring Point Blank to the mobile platform and I've got to say, Nexon did a pretty swell job. As mentioned, there are still some bugs to knock out, but generally, playing Point Blank: Strike feels so much like you're playing Point Blank on mobile and that's all the matters!
Tanki Online
Tanki Online is an excellent blend of intense and somewhat fast-paced, first-person shooting with some awesome-looking (in an old-school kind of way) tanks. Chasing other players across the map on your tank or ambushing them is surprisingly fun and, in spite of the multiple deaths, the game is extremely entertaining indeed! The game also offers a huge variety of maps, from the tundra to desert battles, and battle modes, both team and solo modes. Players can also customise their tanks by adding camouflage, swapping out turrets and even refitting your tank’s hull. With every increase in rank, players get to unlock new gear, tank models and additional items, like mines too.Playing on Tanki Online is certainly an addictive experience. After all, it's not often you'll get that "just one more match" feeling right after the previous match ended. This is the sort of game that will keep you coming back for more and it’s free to play!
Oh, and for players who love the shiny new Tanki X, they should really play Tanki Online and experience the game at its roots. They may grow to have an increased appreciation for the new and improved game.
