iOS (iPhone/iPad) Critic Reviews

Squad Busters lives up to the hype as a much faster-paced game than some of Supercell's other offerings. It won't draw in any mobile gaming sceptics, but for Supercell fans and existing mobile gamers this is a worthy addition to the developer's catalogue.

Squad Busters comes with colorful graphics, simple and fun gameplay, many elements to unlock among characters and maps, and finally a rather rich progression system, ready to entertain us for a long time.

Squad Busters is a fun PvP game with a great core gameplay loop for casual players. While it has the potential to replicate Brawl Stars' success, Squad Busters has a long road to go!

Maps are varied, although all use the classic battle royale technique of gradually forcing you nearer to the centre, and while Squad Busters can feel simplistic, Supercell games are designed to be played for years, and we did find ourselves regularly going back for more of its cluttered, power-up fuelled mayhem.

Behind all the false benevolence, there's a simple, clever and charming gameplay loop that has entertained me for a couple of nights in a row, and could very well continue to do so.
