Paladins Strike review
Paladins Strike is the Android version of Hi-Rez Studios' team-based hero shooter, bringing the character roster and objective-driven matches of the PC and console game to phones and tablets. Rather than the first-person view used on larger platforms, this release shifts to an isometric third-person camera closer to what players expect from mobile multiplayer online battle arena games. Two teams of heroes fight over objectives, each hero contributing distinct abilities and a defined combat role.
Controls follow the layout common to Android MOBAs: a directional pad sits on the left for movement, while two action buttons occupy the right side of the screen. Attacks can be aimed by sliding a finger across the display, which gives shooting a more deliberate feel than simple button taps. Newcomers may need a few matches to adjust, since aiming and moving at the same time takes practice on a touchscreen.
The game is free to download under a proprietary license and ships as an XAPK file, so Android users may need to enable installation from outside the Play Store. Version 2.1 dates from February 2020. The interface and in-game text are in English, and the listing carries a +7 content rating.
