The new season, "Shadow Academy", is now available! See the Event Center for details on the latest content.
Farlight 84 is a high-octane breath of fresh air in the battle royale scene, successfully bridging the gap between the tactical depth of Apex Legends and the accessibility of Fortnite. The defining feature is the jetpack-driven mobility—every character has an inherent 'dodge' and vertical boost that makes combat feel 3D and incredibly kinetic. You're never truly safe behind cover because an enemy could boost over your head in seconds.
The vehicle combat is equally impressive, featuring multi-functional mechs and hover-bikes that feel powerful but balanced. The 'Hero' system provides distinct playstyles without any one character feeling 'broken' in the meta. The visuals are vibrant and optimized, running remarkably well even during massive endgame firefights. While the gacha for skins is typical, the core gameplay loop is fair, fast, and rewards skill and positioning above all else. It is easily one of the best competitive shooters on the App Store right now.
Dynamic Jetpack mobility for 3D combat
Diverse Hero roster with unique tactical abilities
Armed vehicles and mech suits with high destructive power
Seamless cross-platform play between mobile and PC
The blue bar above your health is your jetpack fuel. Instead of just using it to go high, use the 'sideways dash' to break an enemy's aim assist during a duel. It's the most effective way to win 1v1 encounters when caught in the open.
Don't just use vehicles for transport. The 'Mobile Turret' vehicle can be deployed as a stationary shield for your squad in the final circles, providing cover where none exists naturally on the map.
No, all in-app purchases are cosmetic skins or battle pass tiers. All heroes and weapons are balanced for fair competition.
The game is super fun for me personally! I’m around lvl 16 and gold ranked. I love the art style and think it’s very nice. The charcters seem to have a little lore and there are relations between them. This game obviously just came out so there are people complaining about bugs, wait times, and hackers, although I haven’t had these problems. My main issue is with the 24 hr. skins. I play maybe 10 matches everyday after the server reset to do daily stuff, so I only can use the skins a few times before I log off and maybe right when I log in. I like alot of the skins but I’m not going to draw in the lottery with a chance of getting something I wont be able to keep. I would rather have a common or rare skin than an SR thats temporary. And one thing that doesn’t really affect the big picture is the character kits and designs. I LOVED Dislyte’s designs! That’s one reason I was excited for this game, was to see the design work. The characters are super cute and charming! There are a few similarities between their kits and kits from other games, but I dont mind because it’s pretty common roles such as healer or shielder. You could say some characters have similarities with characters from other games, but there is only one thing they have alike and don’t share personality , kit, or the rest of the design. Would love more lore. Thank you!
When apex mobile left i found this game and really found it fun because of the jet packs they are unique! i been playing this game regularly more then call of duty mobile… Ceanna is my favorite character but lacks outfits/skins i hope to see more skins for her in the future even if i got to pay for skins i would be ok with that. unlike other games this game actually keeps the shop items affordable. i hear jet packs will be removed and that does make me disappointed very much. it what makes your game special its what got alot of my friends playing its different and its what made me play this game every day!!! Im willing to give the update a chance, but Im going to keep it real. Jet packs shouldn’t be taking away especially given to just one character. I get y'all are focused on maggie but some of y'all players are better with other characters and have built up learning move with jetpacks. I understand us the players have no say in the decisions you will make but!! please reconsider taking away jetpacks the game is amazing minus the hackers and cheaters I found some really good friends thank you.
Hello hi this is a good I can see this is gonna be a think a good replacement to Apex mobile but thank you all I have to say thank you because I love that game so much and what it says it was about to shut down. I was distraught but you guys filled me with hope that a lot of these good battle royale games used by undo unreal, engine and steel. You guys did freaking amazing but I gotta tell you something don’t make one of these as a cringe he ads don’t don’t tell me this just the game is good the acting is amazing, except for the commander you guys need to change up the voice sounds like a scrawny little something got his God he is he is not a commander so all I have to say is make the game good don’t be like one of these battle royale games with crappy designs crappy things I don’t place ads all over the place please please I swear to god if I see an ad, I’m gonna delete this game. I never played it again, but at least you give us an option to watch and add instead of force it or cram it down our throat it’s a pretty good game and now comes the reveal pod a 10 out of 10 of this game so and of course just just add a freaking OP sniper just that’s all I will not know. Can you add an anti-cart sniper rifle can you do that? Thank you for making this game :-)
The new global relaunch is everything I’ve wanted from the game in the last 2 years. I believe you guys have finally hit big with your game second only to the very first time you released your game! The FPP mode is amazing and I love all the animations and how smooth it feels to play for me + I know they all the other characters will be re-worked and tweaked to have their animations and gameplay work in FPP as well! I love all the extra additions and skins and new battle pass and I think the rest of the community does too! And WE LOVE THE JETPACK ARCADE MODE! I pray you guys bring it back to Ranked because a lot of people are still weird and won’t play until that is the case! But the main problem that is simultaneously causing your game to hit a hard issue is the removal of controller support and Cross-play. The removal of console support has pushed away majority of your current player base old and new who were just playing a week before the update! Including some of my friends who were looking forward to it! And now, I cannot play with my friends on PC and they can’t play with me and my friends who play on mobile have to play like me on mobile instead of being able to use their controllers where they feel comfortable playing. Additionally there is an issue where frames drop severely in some matches with crazy in game lag, I know you all will take note of performance issues but I still wanna let you all know! Please listen and add back Controller Support and Cross-play! I love this game and have been playing since it came out the first time and I LOVE IT NOW! I hope my Review could provide some insight to how the community feels right now and help with what you next step should be soon! And I apologize on behalf of how needy and unappreciative the community can be… because you guys do all you can and it has paid off!
Despite farlight being a unique and surprisingly fun to play, it has issues that are irritating and only hope for the developers to fix. One of these issues is that the in-game voice chatting has bugs that need to be fixed, there are moments while I’m engaging in a battle and desperately need communication with my teammates but the audio just suddenly cuts off, I don’t only mean the voice chat between me and my teammates but also the game audio making me unable to hear footsteps or any other in-game content for that matter. This happens several times in a single match and it gets annoying, the only way I’m able to fix it is by switching off my mic and switching it on back again, which caused me to be killed a couple times. Also it would really be helpful to add an in-game text chatting, as some of my teammates are sometimes unable to use voice, it gets difficult to make contact so it add an in game texting feature between players and their teammates would be convenient as many other games have that aswell. Thanks
As someone who first started with apex mobile and was forced to migrate due to its untimely sunset, this game was once a unique experience with original gameplay and concepts that I found quite enjoyable has now transitioned into another knockoff from existing TPS. Devs continue to ignore players and intentionally extend events and passes purely out of unwillingness to keep content up to date. These extensions for events and passes should not be treated as acts of gratuity especially when it is continuous for multiple back to back updates. Devs should be held accountable for setbacks or at the very least provide statements that explain honest reasons for delay. The game has several bug issues that have not been addressed properly and servers continue to crash mainly for NA. Players continue to crash mid game and in some instance given penalties due to failure to load back into the current ongoing match. I am not aware if this happens to only NA players however this issue should be addressed for all servers across the game. Despite these plethora of issues the game does their best with keeping matches fair which I will agree they at the very least do better than others however the good does not outweigh the bad in this case.
I really enjoyed this game when I first got it. It had been recommended to me by a friend. But the longer I played it, the more I realized the developers don’t care to fix some glitches that are annoying. First off, my favorite character can turn into a water dragon, but if the game lags in the slightest while you are transforming, you’ll be glitches and cannot pull out weapons or shoot or run. Second, the game lags way too much, like way way too much. My internet is fine, but their servers are really poorly done. Third, there is an annoying bug that sometimes won’t let you into the game. The friend that recommended it to me has this problem. I had this problem, the final week of the season, so I couldn’t finish the battle pass. I reached out to Farlight about this issue, and they didn’t really care. When the new season came, the bug went away, kind of (the problem comes back randomly). But when I asked for compensation for the game not letting me finish the battle pass, they ghosted me for awhile, and then finally said they refused to compensate. And they acted like it was my fault that their game wouldn’t let me play. Overall, the developers are money hungry and the game is dying: Don’t waste your money.
The graphics and play style are both similar to Apex Legends Mobile which is nice but the controller support is limited... though their official response online is that they have no controller support... However, they do have control and fire support. The rewards are mediocre unless you pay. After a few heroes are unlocked, the coins to unlock other heroes goes so high that it takes weeks to accumulate enough points to unlock others... They also have rockets that you win but no clear indication what their purpose is... I have hundreds and no idea what to do with them. As for the players, none seem to speak English and "team" is a concept too foreign for most of them. They don't seem to understand "sticking together" which has been the reason for most of the matches I've lost. And, even the players you rescue will rarely return the favor when you're down. But, that's more of a community problem than a game issue... Update: they pushed an update and now sensitivity is unplayable... I requested deleting my account because the game is no longer worth logging into.
