Critical Strike Portable - the reincarnation of CS on smartphones

Available for Android, iOS, Windows and Web

The Counter-Strike is already a classic and there are few who do not know. It is a title from Valve that after adapted from Half-Life, won a very strong position in multi-player games online and LAN.

Thus arises the Critical Strike Portable, which, though quite similar (even in name), was something created from scratch by the newly created company OnMars Studio and was in charge of a small team of five elements. Officially launched in a few days ago Google Store Play this free game and the ability to play online quickly reached half a million users. Lets go play?

The magic of this Critical Strike Portable boils down to the large number of platforms, from the beginning, are supported. Thanks to the graphics engine Unity3D, this game is now available for Android, iOS, Windows and also a Web version, from the Browser. So ... freely available to everyone!

There are game modes and SinglePlayer MultiPlayer. In SinglePlayer you can choose between Team Deathmatch modes, Classic and Survival Zombie, and all of them, you can choose the number of bots (virtual players) that each team will have. Note that the artificial intelligence of these bots is quite reasonable and in the absence of a network connection, is enough to enjoy a good time entertainment.

Multiplayer mode can (and should) be made a record for a player to be properly identified with your nickname. Then be chosen a location near you (including Europe, America and Asia) in Online mode and simply choose a server to start the game. Otherwise, instead of choosing a continent, you can choose how to play a LAN network. Then you can start a server (Game Host) or join an already started (Join).

Everything is very simple and fun is guaranteed, whether you are on your mobile device or computer.
