You can now download and play PUBG on Android and iPhone in Spain

The wait has not been long. PlayerUnknown's BattleGround aka PUBG is now available to download and play on mobile. The title so often imitated in recent months already has its own port or adaptation to the mobile platform, and promises to offer many hours of vice and fun to those who enjoy Battle Royale or all against allA game that will give a lot to talk about in the coming months.

This is the mobile adaptation of the game of the same title already seen on video consoles and computers.The difference, apart from the platform, is that it comes for free For both Android and iPhone. You do not have to pay anything to get hold of it or to enjoy the experience. And what is better, it replicates the gameplay and the graphics almost faithfully to play anywhere. Or almost, because you better use your fastest Internet connection if you don't want to die at the hands of the enemy or the lag.

The game that everyone knows

If you are looking for the Battle Royale that has triumphed throughout 2017, congratulations, it has arrived. And it is that the adaptation of the title has nothing to envy to the computer game At least in terms of mechanics. Once again we find ourselves before a game in which survival is key.

The action begins on a plane (after a few minutes of waiting to gather the total group consisting of up to 100 players from around the world ), jumping over a gigantic map with a parachute.Upon reaching the ground we see how the terrain is deserted, although with buildings and vehicles everywhere. And what is most interesting, with weapons and equipment to arm yourself to the teeth and add chances of victory.

In the end there can only be one. A pressure that leads the whole group to a kind of Hunger Games in which to kill everything you come across. Of course, the game has modalities of teams of two and squads of 4 people.

To liven up the game, in addition to making sure players come back, the mobile version of PUBG also features events and missions Little objectives that can be accomplished within the main experience and that add money, experience, and items to the player.

Customizable Gameplay

It is the most problematic aspect in the mobile platform, and it is that using digital controls on the same screen in which you have to focus your eyes is somewhat complex. We are not surprised by the default gameplay of PUBG, which is practically identical to that of Rules of Survival, the game with which we had replaced your wait. A control on the left for character movement (with the option to block the run if you drag your finger far enough), buttons for actions such as crouch, prone and jump, and another to shootMeanwhile, sliding your finger across the screen allows you to rotate the view and frame where you want to look. It can be overwhelming for the starting player, but it's the most complete and least abusive way to fill the button screen without hiding the action.

The nice thing is that we can go through the settings and modify these controlsWe can unify the movement of the camera and the shutter button. Or even make movement more free by offering the entire left half of the screen to be able to control the character. Elements that help customize the experience so that it is not so difficult to hit shots and move through the mapping in a fluid way.

Long distances break charts

In terms of graphics, the game meets what is expected. It is still a mobile game, ladies and gentlemen. Of course, we have a reflection, a good modeling of the characters, details and shadows here and there. But we need a current high-end mobile to avoid stoppages and enjoy all these effects. Although it is far from other mobile titles.

Anyway, PUBG for mobiles has graphic options in the settings section for those who have less powerful mobiles.Thus, we can sacrifice issues such as shadows or texture resolution to ensure that the game runs smoothly. In return, the final visual aspect will be poorer and less detailed, but the experience will be much more satisfying.

What we liked least in our test is that the draw distance, the distance at which objects begin to be seen on the map, is quite shortThis creates situations such as the map appearing in fits and starts when we descend from the plane. Or that we have to move forward to find out if what's on top of the next hill is a house. Issues that, during the action, go unnoticed, but that slightly break the experience. A price to pay when taking into account the size of the map, which has to be loaded in parts.

Lag-free experience

We don't dare put our hand in the fire, but our first games on mobile have been more than satisfactory.Of course, always connected to a good WiFi connection with speed of 50 MB by fiber optic With these conditions and a Samsung Galaxy S9+ as a gaming platform, the lag or latency has practically been conspicuous by its absence. No stoppages, no deaths that we don't know why they happen until a few seconds have passed or movements of the game or the rest of the players that inhabit it. Despite being an online title with 100 participants, the mobile experience is satisfactory. We have enjoyed it without problems.

Now, in our memory there is still the great and beloved Slither.io, which was a victim of its own success with a gameplay that latency ended up clouding. It is possible that, in a few days, when the whole world hears about the arrival of PUBG on mobile phones, the title will not go so smoothly.

At the moment we can choose between servers in case the European one that arrives by default is saturated or works badly.But we will have to see if the game developers have this issue in mind and have taken measures against what, presumably, is coming their way.

The best Battle Royale by far

There is no doubt that Tencent Games has made a good adaptation. And has succeeded in being the first to bring a famous Battle Royale game to mobile phones Although we don't forget that Epic Games is also preparing the adaptation of Fortnite for these devices.

Now all that remains is to see which of the two games wins the war. While PUBG has been the first to arrive and have some popularity, the masses are betting on Fortnite lately. For now, anyone who wants to can get started in the world of Battle Royale with PUBG in a free and well-adapted way.
