Max Ammo seems like a genuine attempt at making a mobile, free-to-play version of Gears of War.

It's a solid third-person, cover-based shooter where our hero, Max Ammo, faces off against humanoid dinosaur enemies in an effort to save the world.

Unlike Gears, Max Ammo streamlines its controls so that cover is just a swipe away and firing at reptiles only involves a quick tap.

Each mission in the game is pretty short, and the end of each one yields rewards like experience, perks, blueprints, and currency, all of which help make Max a more effective soldier on the battlefield.

You got style

Probably the best thing about Max Ammo is its sense of style across the board. From aesthetics to world-building - heck, even to mission design -Max Ammo is pretty charming and fresh.

The only thing that holds it back is the free to play implementation, which draws out tiresome sections of the game.You can spend some cash to speed things along though.

It also requires a constant internet or data connection which can be an issue for some players.

The bottom line

Overall, Max Ammo is a very solid experience. It controls well, has a great sense of style, and definitely has a lot to offer in terms of content.

Anyone looking for a new way to shoot from behind cover should definitely check this game out.
