Ubisoft and Netflix have introduced that Rainbow Six SMOL, the spin-off of the venerable Tom Clancy sub-series, is now accessible on Android and iOS.

Rainbow Six SMOL takes the as soon as realism-focused tactical FPS collection and shrinks it all the way down to cartoon-ish proportions. You command a squad of counterterrorists as they march round procedurally generated levels, blasting every little thing in sight. The press launch suggests you can take a sneak strategy, however there are quite a lot of explosions within the trailer that counsel that’s unlikely.

I used to like Rainbow Six again in its pre-Ubisoft days. Even following Crimson Storm’s acquisition, I often returned to it straight up by way of its bastardization within the Rainbow Six Vegas video games. I fell off that after Ubisoft did what Ubisoft does and sucked quite a lot of the colour out of the video games, which is bizarre to say about tactical shooters.

Rainbow Six SMOL, nevertheless, truly appears to be like prefer it could possibly be enjoyable. The trailer exhibits off a very good movement of motion and demonstrates a few of its options, like a fog of conflict that obscures every little thing your characters can’t see in the meanwhile. It nonetheless appears to be like like a far cry from its tactical roots, however it doesn’t seem like it utterly excludes its DNA. I believe it’s a bit troubling to depict one thing like counterterrorism with such cartoonish glee. That’s some dystopian territory we walked into, however that’s video video games for you.

Critically, although, I’m sometimes allergic to cellular video games, however this appears to be like like one thing I wish to strive. The press launch says that it’s accessible completely to Netflix members, so it could be value a shot. Assuming I don’t simply overlook about it moments after posting this text, which is at all times a danger.

Rainbow Six SMOL is accessible now for Android and iOS completely for Netflix members.
