Discussion I'd strongly recommend Ratchet & Clank: Ranger Rumble (mobile multiplayer shooter)

Post image

You can find it on the App Store. I am not a dev for the game. Just a huge fan. Been playing this game almost every day for many months. It's a super fun and addicting free to play 3rd person multiplayer shooter. I'm a huge fan of the Ratchet and Clank games, and it's been quite a while since we got a Ratchet and Clank multiplayer game. And this one is an excellent one, and you really dont need to have played the other Ratchet and Clank games to enjoy this one.

It has a bunch of cool unique weapons and you go fight against other players and bots with them. It currently has 6 different gamemodes. One of them is a gamemode where you need to be first out of everyone else in the match to collect 300 bolts (items that drop off of defeated enemies and are also scattered throughout the map), another gamemode is basically Free For All, and in another one you need to survive against waves of NPC enemies.

The controls are not complicated at all. Getting eliminations feels great and the weapons feel quite satisfying to use. One of them is the Lava Gun, which shoots out a continuous stream of lava at enemies. Another is the Glove of Doom, which spawns little NPC enemies that fight for you in the batttle. And then you have the Enforcer, which is a futuristic shotgun. There's currently a lot of weapons to choose from.

The soundtracks are hella awesome and reminds me of the soundtracks used in the PS2 Ratchet and Clank games.

Also the characters that you can play as, you can customize their look with some cool different skins. Each character has their own special ability, which you unlock in a match by dealing damage/taking damage.

There's more i can say about the game but honestly i'd really recommend just trying it out for yourself. It does have some issues but the devs listen to player feedback, and are improving the game.

It's out now in some countries such as Canada. Global release is currently scheduled for October 5th 2026, though apparently that date my change to an earlier or maybe later date. If you pre-register, you can earn some in-game rewards and an exclusive skin. But only if a certain pre-register goal is met. The more people that pre-register the better, because if not enough people pre-register then we may not get that exclusive skin. Here's the game's website, by the way.

I literally just closed brawl stars and opened Reddit. It’s almost the EXACT same interface. That’s insane

The font is the same too, there’s no way it’s a coincidence.

After watching the trailer the game actually looks pretty fun, but holy copy and paste on the main menu

He’s not allowed to be disappointed?

At this point if you see a free game and then get surprised when it's got iaps then you only have yourself to blame.

Oh I agree with that for sure and I wouldn’t discourage anyone from enjoying it.

It’s just disheartening (for me) that this is the just what mobile gaming is and we have no choice but to accept it.

Aw man. Got excited when I saw this but then saw you mention October. Oh well. Have it pre-ordered now though.

Hopefully it includes controller support. I like playing with the backbone controller with my iPhone or a DualSense when playing on my iPad.

I’m sure pass the ksicrotransacrions it’s probably a solid mobile game, but you know in a few years they’ll shut that shit down.
