We’re very much looking forward to 2018 and we have many great milestones ahead of us such as the official release of Critical Ops.” Our game became one of the de facto standard mobile eSports games and our staff more than quadrupled last year. Discussing the success of the game, CEO of Critical Force Veli-Pekka Piirainen said the following: “Year 2017 was phenomenal for us in many ways. The official Discord server for Critical Ops is fairly sizable too, it currently maintains a membership of over 54,000. YouTube creators have, impressively, uploaded over half a million videos focusing on the mobile game. Battle royale genre is clunky in this aspect, since it's neither easy nor that enjoyable to spectate 100 players duking it out with no objective other than "be the last man standing".Critical Force, the Finnish studio behind mobile esports game Critical Ops, has announced the game has reached a sizable milestone: one million daily players.Ĭritical Ops has been downloaded over 34 million times by mobile users now, and has an active, engaging social presence – spanning over half a million followers across several platforms. There is also the fact that Critical Force are pushing hard into the e-sports scene, which is a feature that is pulled off much easier with smaller teams of players like in Critical Ops. This pretty much means they are in the same market, but with a growing number of players interested in playing shooters on mobile comes a greater number of players who are familiar with a shooter control scheme.Ĭritical Force believe that this can lead to an influx of players in Critical Ops, who are already familiar with the game type and will therefore ease into it much easier than a newcomer to the genre. The company believes that battle royale genre will positively impact Critical Ops regardless, and they have listed several similarities and differences between Critical Ops and the battle royale games on mobile devices.įor example, the developers have been cited as saying that "Critical Ops gameplay is based on an existing PC experience", no kidding, and therefore is in the same boat as the battle royale games. The developers will instead focus on furthering their e-sports agenda for the game. Critical Force have recognised the massive success of the battle royale genre in pc, console and mobile gaming, but apparently there are no immediate plans of introducing a battle royale mode to Critical Ops. This success didn't come over night, but through a rather long string of good decisions and emulation of Counter Strike on mobile devices over the years.
