Features:

Fully customizable controls

Farlight 84's default controls will be intuitive for anyone familiar with touchscreen shooters. However, the game does allow you to customize the controls to your liking. From the options menu, you can move and change the size of both the virtual movement stick and all the action buttons. You can also select the specific controls you prefer for vehicles, choosing between three modes: the virtual joystick, buttons, or a virtual steering wheel. Similarly, you can adjust the individual sensitivity for each type of weapon and telescopic sight.

The jetpack-assisted flight around the map

Many aspects make Farlight 84 unique, but undoubtedly one of the most inventive is the jetpack all characters have equipped. Thanks to this item, you can propel yourself at high speed across the map. The jetpack doesn't let you stay in the air for a long time, but it allows you to propel yourself long distances to jump between buildings and dodge enemy attacks. However, you will have to learn how and when to use it correctly, as it does have a few seconds of cooldown between thrusts. And, if you're not careful, those seconds might just be your undoing.

Several game modes

As is common among battle royale games, Farlight 84 offers several game modes. The default mode, Battle Royale, immerses you in massive battles with up to sixty players on two maps: Sunset City or Lampton. Deathmatch Mode, on the other hand, offers much faster and more hectic gameplay, in which two teams face off on much smaller maps: Tinman Industropolis or Polar Point. Coliseum Mode provides a similar experience to Deathmatch, with smaller maps, but you meet your enemies alone to determine the best player this time. Finally, there is also a Training Mode, where you can practice using the different weapons and vehicles in the game and get more familiar with them.

Tips and Tricks:

Start by setting sensitivity and aim preferences, then pick a hero that matches your role. Read ability tips on the hero screen so you know the cooldowns and ideal ranges before the first drop.

Join a trio and select a drop spot with nearby cover and elevation options. Confirm roles briefly, such as entry, support, or anchor, so everyone knows who takes first contact.

On landing, use one tap auto looting to secure weapons and basic mods quickly. Prioritize a stable primary and a backup option, then clear nearby rooms and rotate before third parties arrive.

Use vertical tools to control sightlines. Slide to break aim assist, wall run to shift height, take ziplines to reposition, and use launch devices when safe to gain instant high ground.

Activate Buddy skills to shape the fight. Drop a smokescreen before a rotate, scan before a push, or set a zipline for a fast exit. If eliminated, respawn, regroup with your team, and look for a teleport to Skyland for a calm reset and better angles.

Pros & Cons:

Pros

Hero roles create meaningful squad combinations

Cons

Removal of jetpacks and reduced vehicle emphasis weakened its identity

Conclusion:

Overall, if you're a fan of sci-fi shooters and want to try something new, Farlight 84 is a solid choice worth checking out. Its unique characters paired with an arsenal of futuristic weapons and vehicles make for fun and engaging gameplay. While it could benefit from more map variety and further performance optimization, they don't detract from the great experience. Recommended.
