Reception
Eric Ford of Touch Arcade gave Blitz Brigade 3.5/5 describing it as enjoyable, but noting lack of game modes and freemium content.[4] Rob Rich of Gamezebo describes the game as good-looking and having elements for a great online mobile FPS, however criticized online server stability that he remarked as a key requirement.[1] Jon Mundy of Pocket Gamer gave the game 7/10 noting the framework for and excellent online FPS but criticizing its freemium aspect and online stability.[3] Andrew Stevens of 148Apps rated the game 4/5 describing gameplay as fun and smooth, but lacking content.[5] Scott Nichols of Digital Spy gave the game 2/5 praising class-based gameplay and cartoony art style, but noted the poor connectivity and steep unlock requirements.[2] Ford, Mundy and Nichols noted the game's close similarity to Team Fortress 2.[2][3][4] As of May 14th, 2020 Blitz Brigade seemingly appeared to be overrun by code hackers which places significant unfair gameplay advantages of the perpetrators leaving the majority of the games long term supporters forced to reluctantly abandon the game altogether.
