It’s a little bit too overblown at times, leaving you feeling as if Gameloft wants you to spend money above all else. How much you enjoy Brothers in Arms 3: Sons of War is going to depend on how much patience you have.

And of course, there are ways of bypassing this with real money, and Brothers in Arms 3 loves to remind you of what you could have had. As well as that, there’s an energy bar, meaning you’re only going to be able to play for so long at any one time. There are plenty of consumables too, making it that much easier to complete tricky missions.
#Brothers in arms 3 upgrade#
You can upgrade your allies, as well as your weapons, and it’s all a matter of timer bars and various currencies that can be earned slowly or bought quickly. What’s not so great about Brothers in Arms 3 is outside of those missions. Shooting, although simple, is pretty satisfying - mostly because head shots are easy to come by and you can even take down planes with bazookas, which is always a welcome option. Running around is a little awkward but as Brothers in Arms 3 is more of a corridor shooter (with a false sense of openness), you rarely have to run too far. Each soldier in a squad can have different abilities: mortar fire, air attack, use.

It lets you unlock all types of weapons and improve cadence, recoil, or magazine size. Two game modes: Free For All and Team Deathmatch. Various mission types: assault, sniper, stealth, and more. Controls are a matter of sliding to look around, using a virtual d-pad to run, and virtual buttons for shooting and switching weapons. It is a third-person action game with free movement. Short but satisfying works well for it, as I suspect longer levels would turn repetitive. Brothers in Arms 3 is geared towards mobile play, meaning each level doesn’t take too long to complete.
#Brothers in arms 3 series#
You and your team of highly trained brothers in arms (oh, yes) work your way through a series of missions, taking out mostly everything that moves. It won't be long before that really grates on you. It’s just unfortunate that such enjoyment is hampered by its persistence to either make you spend real money or wait patiently for a selection of timers to complete. It might be mostly on rails and perhaps not as innovative as one could hope, but Brothers in Arms 3: Sons of War is actually pretty fun to play.
