To be honest, when I saw the name "Mini Gunfight Elite", my first reaction was "another reskinned game". But as an old player who came back from the Saipan era, I couldn't help but click in and take a look. After all, the "Beach Landing" and "Resident Evil" that were stored on my phone at that time feel precious now in retrospect.
No need to brag, this game really has something to offer. 😊
The map of Vanis Island can accommodate 50 people playing in the same game. I was stunned when I first saw it. Today's mobile games are often a battle royale with 100 people, but being able to control the rhythm of 50 people on a small map is actually quite a test of design. At first glance, the mini-style painting seems a bit juvenile, but after playing a few games, I discovered that this style makes the battle more focused on operation and strategy, rather than being blinded by the special effects that fill the screen.
What I miss most is the fun of "picking up equipment and making weapons." I still remember that when I used to play "Lone Gunmen", I would be happy for a long time when I found a shotgun in the corner of the map. This game not only has various firearms, but you can also pick up accessories to strengthen them, and there are even melee weapons such as grenades and energy swords. The setting of the energy sword is quite retro. It reminds me of the knife war room when I played "CS1.6". A group of people slashed each other with daggers. They were both good at it and fun-loving. 🤣
The game operation platform is 5.0 and the charging mode is 0, which is very friendly to old players. Nowadays, mobile games often come with 648 gift packs. This zero-threshold way of playing makes people willing to settle down and play more games.
Of course, it's not without its shortcomings. For example, when matching occasionally encounters teammates who hang up, the map details can be enriched. But as a nostalgic shooting game, it allows me to regain the relaxing feeling of "go home from get off work, turn on your phone and play a game". In this era of constant struggle, it is rare to have a game that reminds you of the days when you were hiding in bed and playing with your mobile phone as a child.
If you are also an old player, you might as well give it a try, maybe you can get back the feeling you had back then on Vanis Island. 😌
