Farlight 84 Reviews

by Cboxgo69

The graphics and play style are both similar to Apex Legends Mobile which is nice but the controller support is limited... though their official response online is that they have no controller support... However, they do have control and fire support. The rewards are mediocre unless you pay. After a few heroes are unlocked, the coins to unlock other heroes goes so high that it takes weeks to accumulate enough points to unlock others... They also have rockets that you win but no clear indication what their purpose is... I have hundreds and no idea what to do with them. As for the players, none seem to speak English and "team" is a concept too foreign for most of them. They don't seem to understand "sticking together" which has been the reason for most of the matches I've lost. And, even the players you rescue will rarely return the favor when you're down. But, that's more of a community problem than a game issue...

Update: they pushed an update and now sensitivity is unplayable... I requested deleting my account because the game is no longer worth logging into.

I mean really?! Y’all can try to fix the matchmaking issue in the game, but instead y’all ruin the game with unnecessary updates, like why the respawners and the 4squad up? I played lampton, not a single way to respawn, you lose you lose, no enjoyment at all, I end up literally 1 minute in a game I start, maybe start fixing the issues that needs to be fixed and maybe try asking players once in a while what they wants, I’m done with this game bye. People enjoy this game, sure, but the developers ruin it by doing unnecessary updates, bring back respawners and yeah I forgot to mention, “ fast paced action multiplayer” was true until I needed to look in my backpack every once in a while for unnecessary equipment, just why? And nerfing all the guns? I don’t honestly see a point for helmets?!!!!!

make this game have controller support. You are competing with final fantasy, call of duty, and apex legends. All of which have controller support. There are a lot of buttons on this screen. The screen gets cluttered and this seems like a really fun really enjoyable game. The fact that you don’t have controller support is quite concerning. Especially if you want a game with this much work and time gone into it to succeed. I will change my one star review if you add controller support. Other than that the characters game and design are all awesome. But you can’t expect this game to do well if you don’t have controller support. If you don’t add controller support this game will definitely fail especially when so many people use backbones for their iPhones

1. they took away jetpacks
2. cant move fast in water/cant heal in water/cant even jump while in you guessed it, water. and there's so much water that we have to cross.
3. glitches.
4. caters to cheaters. they're probably the ones who are thought no jetpack was a good idea. who are you "balancing " the game for? because it's not for the ones who play this game without cheats.
5. they keep promising a console version of this game but won't tell us when and then they procrastinate with things like taking away our jetpacks.

6. there's definitely room for improvement. before jetpacks were taken out, my rating for the game would have likely been higher.

7. our characters which were already slow move even slower.. in what is supposed to be a "battle royal" game.

8. good luck finding scopes like trying to find a needle in a haystack. Weapons are hard to find too and so are shields and everything else.
and they are probably going to ignore my review but maybe just maybe stop and try to listen to the people who actually play the game and making it better for them and not just your definition of "better".

by Gamereaper08

I guess the game wasnt getting the attention or hype it deserves but thats more of an issue with your marketing and not the game itself! When i found the game, it felt like i found the game ive always been looking for and now youre taking away the jetpacks and becoming like every other “tried and true” battle royal game im gonna try the new update for one game just because of how long ive loved this game but you definitely lost your #1 fan. The player abilities dont set aside your game enough to try and pass it as its own things this is only gonna seem like its working because of the og player fan base and probably spending more on crappy marketing i havent seen the game anywheree until i randomly found it. Get some celebrities to stream it, get it seen everywhere and i promise people will love it DONT CHANGE THE GAME. New map mechanics cool but screams apex legends as soon as i seem the clip

Edited to 1 star: The audio cuts off so much in matches especially landing in battle royale and It is more apparent when you wear a headset. I notice that the buttons in game that I disable sometimes enable themselves in team death match mode. This leaderboard player was spamming racial things in the global chat and when I contacted support, all they did was mute him ‘temporarily’.. keyword: temporarily. Support does nothing when harassment happens to players new or old and there’s NO way to block players. Character voices become silent and then suddenly turning back on again despite all audio settings be on and squad mic audio cuts in late when turned on and messes with the game. When you report a hacker I wish that you could be notified by mail if they get banned or not instead of just getting a “we got your report” message. Wait times also are very longer which reflects the amount of people that have left due to the changes. It just feels very cartoonish now and I dislike the fact that crossplay is automatically built in with no option to turn off but to each their own. I’ve moved on to blood strike and other battle royale games, farlight isn’t the same.

by CashierAtm

Despite farlight being a unique and surprisingly fun to play, it has issues that are irritating and only hope for the developers to fix.
One of these issues is that the in-game voice chatting has bugs that need to be fixed, there are moments while l'm engaging in a battle and desperately need communication with my teammates but the audio just suddenly cuts off, I don't only mean the voice chat between me and my teammates but also the game audio making me unable to hear footsteps or any other in-game content for that matter. This happens several times in a single match and it gets annoying, the only way l'm able to fix it is by switching off my mic and switching it on back again, which caused me to be killed a couple times. Also it would really be helpful to add an in-game text chatting, as some of my teammates are sometimes unable to use voice, it gets difficult to make contact so it add an in game texting feature between players and their teammates would be convenient as many other games have that aswell.
Thanks

The UI for this game is so bad, for example if your changing your settings and you want to test a different settings out and save your current one, GUESS WHAT you can’t do that so what happens is it will reset you to the original settings and you can’t go back to that settings you made so now you have to start ALL over again to make your old settings and it’s a pain. The game has huge delays when I’m clicking the boost button it’ll have a 3/10 times where it doesn’t work and you die because of it. Game feels wonky, when your on a wall and click jump to do a 1 on 1 battle to avoid bullets it’ll make you climb the wall and then your opponent just kill you right there and then. Don’t recommend people buying things yet, as they have a little scam thing going on. Spent 50 dollars on a “chest” or “loot box” and 9/10 you’ll get time items instead of keeping the items. This game is trash.

by Zobea

The game looks amazing first of all… it’s lag issues when I make contact with 4+ players. Skill based matchmaking could be fixed. Mounting should be faster including reloading bc reloading is slow with every gun…It’s very consistent. But these hackers beaming you across the map with headshots is outrageous and makes me want to delete the game sometimes. I’m not the only one going through it so I know it’s true. It’s not about me being bad at the game or like the kids would say (skill issue) this is really a problem… I really believe this game can take place of apex mobile if they listen to the community bc it has a lot of potential to be put on console as well.

by Tojochanda

Hey devs the rank system and matchmaking is too unfair you get highest rank players and highest level players . I am in gold but i got grandmaster players in the lobby . Its too hard to survive as a beginner . The rank up system is horrible .I died in top 5 but i got only +15 rank which is so disappointing . The character details resolution is too low . There is no light reflection on characters body and also no shine in ultra hd graphics . Map details is good but character detail and reflection on body and costume is too low . Some details looks blurry . On 60 fps on iphone 15 my phone heats upto 45 degree . Other games does not heat so much . Please optimise thease . Please otherwise game is good . You should collab with other games and other movies and series like street fighter, dbz anime which other games provide their players . Add collab characters and events . Provide free rare and epic rewards. And add more epic rewards in paid and free battle pass . Fix those and i will give you 5 star 😊

Don't get too used to a weapon or hero, they'll change it. Momoi is a prime example- complete change. The new skins are good, but why did you also change the existing skins in the process? Some required lots of grinding or premium currency! Couldn't you at least keep the old default, unaltered, as a selectable skin?

There are days that I spend more time waiting than playing. I know there were complaints about lots of bots, but with those at least I can manage to complete the daily missions, rather than wait & wait- get matched with sweats- die quickly- repeat.

I wish they would bring back the auto respawn, which really eased the pain out of dying right after the drop.

by Kaiwin2076

The present state of the game's responsiveness is far from satisfactory, exhibiting a notable decline that has left players feeling frustrated and disconnected. To compound this issue, the advertisements and the shoot button are not functioning as intended; there are instances when pressing the button yields no response at all, which can be incredibly frustrating, especially during critical moments when players urgently need to fire their weapons. Moreover, the hip fire button, which should ideally facilitate greater agility and fluidity in aiming, currently falls short, as it does not allow players to aim in any direction with the ease and precision they require. It is absolutely vital for the developers to prioritize an urgent update that addresses these pressing bugs, not only to rectify these shortcomings but also to significantly enhance the overall gameplay experience for all players involved.

by SalvalusOMniG

I used to like this game but dont like using my touch screen on my ipad all the time.. the new joystick controller support i was happy to see until i tried it.. nothing like cod m joystick support… the comparison is like cod m a 20 and farlight a .5 for controller support not even a whole point.. also game is dumb cause all weapons fire same damage from any distance recieving zero physics force degradation.. because of this cheaters swamp the game sniping from any distance with any gun.. zero recoil.. also the controller has barely any aim assist while using screen controls is overpowered super auto aim… so basically everyone your playing has aimbot with unlimited distance except you.. the controller wielding enthusiasts getting mowed from miles away by instant aim..

by Enviroserv

My main complaint is that the game does not have full controller support and button mapping. To me, if you want your game to be taken seriously, you’ve gotta put that option in. We’re supposed to choose this game… on mobile…. Over everything else and put our time and money into it, but I can’t take my gameplay to the next level and fully utilize a controller device? And this two sticks and trigger thing makes it confusing when every other command including ADS is still mapped to the touch screen. Come on guys. Full controller and button mapping. That’s all that’s standing in my way from choosing this over other string titles.

by VIP & Matchmaking

When you first start this game it’s the best experience in gaming in a while. However, I have one complaint. As you start to get into matchmaking lobbies. The lobbies are fair and you play against people with the same skills and stats, though it starts to feel like a pay to win type of game as you go along. Anybody that has a VIP. It’s almost impossible for you to die. So for people who don’t pay for these luxuries are at a huge disadvantage. And you shouldn’t cross play. There are PC players and mobile players in the same lobby, which makes no sense. It just becomes competitive to a point where you feel like you’re playing a bunch of streamers every lobby ( NOT FUN ) I say you shouldn’t change from how it was when you first download the game. Keep it simple matchmaking. Let VIP players play with other VIP players.

by App_Addict101

So I BUY the premium battle pass and my rewards for awesome weapon and jet pack skins are 24 hour TRIALS!? Are you guys serious? I would understand if you did that for the free BP but the PAID BP should be permanent rewards. This is the first time I’ve ever seen such stinginess from a company and I now know to never buy a BP from you again. Absolutely ludicrous.

“Thanks for buying our BP, here is a little tease of what you could have if you give us even more money” is essentially what you are telling your player base that actually SUPPORT the game. Take a hint from COD Mobile and give the premium BP rewards, that people really want and get to keep..I stress KEEP!

by Tezz❄️

When Quick ADS is active for any gun, tapping it shouldn’t immediately shoot, except you toogle that one, at least let some pressure be applied to the button to shoot the gun, not just by mistakenly tapping the button and the gun is nearly empty, It’s annoying. I’ve tried everything in the settings menu to see if it’s something that can be fixed myself, but it doesn’t seem like it and looks like something that needs a fix from the Devs. Hope it gets fixed soon. Hope the Gun customization can be improved or even fixed completely, cuz it’s so confusing in every way, like if I want change the magazine size of a particular gun and stuffs, like it shows in the warehouse, but that’s it, just for show, and doesn’t do anything if you change anything there. Also pls reduce the reload time a bit for the guns and fix the sensitivity of some weapons and things in the game. Thanks

by Nanisakuo

Farlight 84 was the game most people including myself went to after apex shut down it had a few things that were similar to apex but it still was its own game the best parts of the game were how simple the game was the jet packs and responds but they took all of it away first jet packs which slowed movement then responds and made the game complicated it use to be easy to use and made sense now you have to go through like 15 different things to get to the battle pass which takes so long and is not easier they buffed some hero's so much and nerfed others like beau so people who main these hero's had to switch cause they can’t keep up with the other hero's they also took away four man squads and ranking for death match which means although I grinder at death match to get legend and on the leader board it’s all for nothing I’m going to give it a four because the game is still fun but it is starting to get boring adding things like being slower by shots makes it so hard to win now that there is no responds please go back to what you use to be

by JSiff06

This is clearly a decent Apex clone. Although there are parts that are unique and cool to the game, they are too many quality of life issues that need changing. To start, the rewards system. If you want players to come back to your game, don’t give skins that last 24 hours. That’s the quickest way to lose players. Imagine grinding all day to get a good skin, but it disappears the next day. There is also no controller support for backbone controllers. A lot of Apex players used a backbone, myself included. If you are targeting that fanbase, you have to be ready to support that fanbase. And obviously the basics, like lag and game optimization, which I understand comes with time. So, unless there’s a big overhaul soon, this game is likely to fall off. Overall, it’s a good start.

by Blackgamingyt

Farlight 84 ventures into the battle royale scene with a refreshing take on the genre, offering players a visually captivating world and unique gameplay elements. The futuristic aesthetics and diverse arsenal of weapons contribute to an immersive gaming experience. The developers have shown dedication to evolving the game with regular updates, keeping the community engaged.

However, it's important to note that players in the Asia region have encountered persistent ping issues, impacting the smoothness of gameplay. While the potential is undeniable, addressing these connectivity concerns would significantly enhance the overall enjoyment of Farlight 84. With continued development and a focus on optimizing server performance, this game has the potential to become a standout in the competitive world of battle royales.

by Haruchiyos

Game is extremely fun and the first of its type I’ve ever played; I have been experiencing a glitch in death match mode, however. I end up getting stuck in POV mode after reviving and am basically left watching a teammate play, I’ll have controls and everything up but it’s not my character’s and it basically leaves me vulnerable if another player from the opposing squad is able to find where I’ve ended up after this glitch because to them it still appears as me? I usually have to exit the game and come back in order to participate again. Other than that and a few chat lag issues (which could just be server issues, so I’m not too bothered) everything is fine and I generally love the game.

by MorelloGh

It's disappointing that we've been requesting controller support for a while, and while it's been introduced for PC, many of us who play on mobile with high-end devices like the 14 still struggle due to the small screen size. We hope you'll consider adding controller support to mobile as well, and if possible, implementing cross-platform functionality when connected to a mobile. Your attention to this matter is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

by Romane Lettuce

This game is really good but there’s a couple things you could add to make it better. Add some new modes to play. There’s a small amount of modes you can play but after awhile it gets tiring so you should try and make some new limited time modes or something. Also the vehicles are all very slow and it’s an issue when you can’t get away from a squad because of how slow a vehicle is. Add some new characters or weapons to the game because some of the loading screens and different mode posters display some characters, weapons, and vehicles that aren’t even in the game. Other than that this game is pretty solid.

by Vtopazz

To start off, this game runs great on my device
(an iPhone 11) considering the great graphics and the amount of content in this game. The game is unique and definitely is worthy of replacing Apex Mobile (since it shutdown). Only complaint here would be "trial" accessories or skins. Accessories in this game can be permanently owned, but sometimes they are on a time limit. This means that you will only own the item for a limited time (a day or two for example) and when the time is up, it is gone from your inventory. Accessories really don't matter but this is just an inconvenience. Overall an amazing game.

by Lumal3e

When apex mobile left i found this game and really found it fun because of the jet packs they are unique! i been playing this game regularly more then call of duty mobile…
Ceanna is my favorite character but lacks outfits/skins i hope to see more skins for her in the future even if i got to pay for skins i would be ok with that. unlike other games this game actually keeps the shop items affordable. i hear jet packs will be removed and that does make me disappointed very much.
it what makes your game special
its what got alot of my friends playing its different and its what made me play this game every day!!! Im willing to give the update a chance, but Im going to keep it real. Jet packs shouldn’t be taking away especially given to just one character. I get y'all are focused on maggie but some of y'all players are better with other characters and have built up learning move with jetpacks. I understand us the players have no say in the decisions you will make but!! please reconsider taking away jetpacks the game is amazing minus the hackers and cheaters I found some really good friends
thank you.

by Le Fancy Roach

It keeps on glitching I don’t know why, so can you fix it if you can But it’s still good game though, so if you’re hearing this Farlight 84 The game is still good in my opinion I’m sorry but my my account got banned got banned if you guys can fix it, that’s OK I will wait. Maybe tomorrow will be fixed. I don’t know maybe today thank you for the understanding And promise me it wasn’t me I swear on my heart it wasn’t me who did it if you understand please please, if you understand it wasn’t me. I think I will get it back tomorrow, but thanks for the understanding if you can hear me

by GianDwharf

Gameplay and graphics are top notch and monetization isn’t in your face like most shooters for mobile. The UI is super clean and easy to follow.
Love the movement mechanics and the heroes have nice abilities. Definitely like this game much more than apex mobile cause of its simplicity. (Closer to the pc version of apex than apex mobile was imo.)

Deathmatch could be so much better if you started with a starter weapon and picked up weapons on the map like in battle royale imo. It seems more like a firing range against other people than a proper deathmatch mode

by BIGPRICK IN FARLIGHT

The game is a great game overall I won’t lie but there are some stuffs I’ll like you guys to fix
1 Since the new update that came with the new battle pass and new designs last month , I have not been able to find the emote/sticker icon in game which is very very unpleasant
2 I’ll like you guys to fix/adjust the reload and firing .( I’ll explain ) I should be able to shoot my enemy if I still have bullets left in the magazine while trying to reload and not the opposite
3 I’ll like you guys to consider a slide option Thank you 😊

by Eleososlso

Hello hi this is a good I can see this is gonna be a think a good replacement to Apex mobile but thank you all I have to say thank you because I love that game so much and what it says it was about to shut down. I was distraught but you guys filled me with hope that a lot of these good battle royale games used by undo unreal, engine and steel. You guys did freaking amazing but I gotta tell you something don’t make one of these as a cringe he ads don’t don’t tell me this just the game is good the acting is amazing, except for the commander you guys need to change up the voice sounds like a scrawny little something got his God he is he is not a commander so all I have to say is make the game good don’t be like one of these battle royale games with crappy designs crappy things I don’t place ads all over the place please please I swear to god if I see an ad, I’m gonna delete this game. I never played it again, but at least you give us an option to watch and add instead of force it or cram it down our throat it’s a pretty good game and now comes the reveal pod a 10 out of 10 of this game so and of course just just add a freaking OP sniper just that’s all I will not know. Can you add an anti-cart sniper rifle can you do that? Thank you for making this game :-)

by Qiolux

The Game has Goods and Bads

Let me start off with the Good stuff

I love the Game I love the style

And I love It’s menu, I

I recommend bringing this Game to Other Platforms such as Consoles, Improve the Graphics there and change a bit everything, I think It would bring a great attention to the game because basically most gamers play on that, Which would bring the game attention

Allowing Cross Platform would also be great to play with different platforms.

I don’t know If there’s emotes In the Game something I highly suggest to add In to the game

Now the Bad

One Thing I don’t really like Is there isn’t characters but skins In battle pass, Or have skins In Item shop that isn’t there that much.

The skins has a long

One thing that’s truly bothering about the game Is when you’re inside a vehicle and they take you’re health should enable for the car to be shielded but not to Strong for them to keep firing at you

Modes like Zombies would be Great.

This game Is awesome It has a long way to go

by Ifjhgffdmsmfn

This game is amazing with a good and promising future the only thing I will wish is every 10 seasons we get a new map and every season we get a new area on the same map until the next map the only thing I would like to add in the game it’s up to you if you can try to get a hold of Collabs, he can be literally anything if people upload a lot and I’m in a lot of videos about the game and you’ll probably make them their own hero and items that they can use to go with the skin for a club let’s say for the new Spider-Man across the spider verse movie you can have Miguel, Gwen and Miles as a hero and then have an item like web shooters or something OK yeah that’s all I wish that this game could have this game is amazing and I know that this has a promising future ahead. Keep doing amazing now you’re really a good game with an amazing future

by Stratbluesman

No I’m not someone who spends a ton of time on every single battle Royale that comes out and nitpicks everything that they don’t like that other games may have provided, etc. but I’ve spent two hours playing and I’m having a blast and I don’t take it that seriously to worry about being at the top of the leaderboard’s or tiny things like what sounds and buttons you don’t jive with…. so I’ll just say for a free game it’s freaking amazing and super fun but if you’re a professional gamer or claim to be one then sure get on your PC and have at it with whatever game you choose but to be playing this on my phone with pretty much no lag, it’s just a ton of fun. So don’t listen to the haters and give it a shot. I’m loving it! Good job devs.

by Vnhgfrtghh

This is hands down one of the best mobile games I’ve ever played. that honestly feels like a console game. Obviously it has some flaws and tweaks like every game on earth, but all in all it’s a solid fun truly unique experience to the battle royals out there. This 100% is replacing apex mobile for me. Time will tell if it will beat warzone mobile as well. Thanks for all the fun. It just needs some work with that fact that I can’t understand 95% of the foreign people who join my squad. Maybe make it so we can join up with people from our region.

by Thejidge

It’s lacking by not adding enough controls to the settings and the mic issue where you try to talk you can’t hear that very good . But other than that it’s a good game competitive and fun . Hope they continue this game and not shut it down like Apex Mobile. Also they need to reduce the lucky draws or spins to buy character skins it’s way to PRICEY AND NOT FAIR. Also can y’all add more people to your clan instead of 4 ? Like other games clans capacity are like 50+

by To Anyone That Reads This

I’ve been playing Farlight 84 for a while since late beta and I could say the game is really fun and optimized for low end devices such as iPhone 7 and etc, there sweats Ofc but u win some u lose some and that’s fun and keep u wanting to get better, the game has a great dev team that listen to the community and is very active the first ever dev team i personally experience seeing that wants the game to be great and listens to the community. The game is made underrated not gonna lie, only thing I wish is that free to players could grind enough gems for the paid battle pass every season that’s all everything else it’s great

by Pajamacookies

Farlight 84 is an incredible FTP title which has anything and everything a BR player might want! 🎮💯 Heroes with creative original abilities catered to various play-styles, a unique jet pack based movement system, detailed maps and play environments, a competitive player base (including cash prize tournaments 💸🤑), a surplus of well designed skins and other DLC, and most importantly- an exciting and fast passes vibe which will keep you playing for hours. 🤩👀 Play at home, on the train, at a café, or wherever you’d like on your mobile device and be ready for some high speed BR action! Highly recommended, 10/10! 💪🎯

by Brittneyann32

Hear me out the quests in this game are super super simple. I play games like this not because of the repetitiveness, but the quests. I like pvp shooters but I wish you had a purpose. Like in Fortnite you go into the same map over and over doing the same thing over and over but the quests in Fortnite are campaign style quests. I have played fortnite for 4 years and still enjoy it because of the quests. However I have played this for a couple days and am extremely bored with it. It is an amazing game and I love it but I wish the quests were just a little bit more.

by BEASTKING5862

I’m a streamer but I can’t stream Farlight 84 because when we get into the lobby there is what I’m calling a hiccup and all sounds to my stream goes off. I pray that you can fix this problem there are other problems with sound like it spikes at different times to the point that sometimes I have to just stop playing till it calms down the drop gets really loud talking I mean Loud. P.S. I’ve played several games with no sound in game this is without streaming but my team could hear me talking about not being able to hear even bullies wizzz past me etc but I do like the game

by Dabo314

This game is my number one replacement for Apex really it up to par with the other top shooting games an it’s only the beginning!!! I’ve already spent about $10 just to get the character I wanted but really you get a bunch of trials an options to be unique.

The only thing really I would like in the future is more customizations for characters. The other multiplayer games besides team death match takes a little getting used to but other then that it’s solid
