Five touchscreen control modes available:shoot button mode is similar to other mobile 3D shooters.tap to shoot mode moves fire button under your finger, so you never miss it.floating crosshair mode allows for faster aiming
- drag crosshair across the screen to shoot, touch screen borders to look around.shoot under finger mode shoots where you touch, but does not move crosshair from the center of the screen.aim under finger mode is similar, but moves fire button under your finger instead of shooting immediately.
Swipe the screen to quickly rotate 180 degrees.Double-tap joystick to jump.Touch weapon icons at the top to select a weapon.You can configure buttons layout by clicking Change device config button when the game starts, then selecting On-screen keyboard and Customize layout.You can switch to first-person view in settings.Voice chat is supported
- switch Voice chat option to Shake and talk, and shake phone during game to send your voice to other players. Some servers may disallow voice chat.You can enter console commands using button at upper-left, start command with / symbol.
Gyroscope aiming is supported (not all devices have gyroscope).Gamepads with two analog sticks are supported (PS3, Xbox gamepads, SHIELD).Google Cardboard VR is supported, you will need a gamepad to use it.Mouse will not be supported, because it's technically impossible on non-rooted Android, and because it gives an unfair advantage over other players.

Good, and very addictive, but can you please fix the controls a bit? The look controls still get in effect for half a second when you swipe fast, and the jump button is in a very uncomfortable place. Also, the controls are a bit too small. Can you please fix these issues? If so, I'll give 5 stars for controls. Also, add chromebook support as it crashes on my Dell Inspiron Chromebook 11.
No option to turn off double tap to jump. I use a black shark 2, which you have no choice but to use their screen mapping program because the controllers don't appear as Android hid devices like most gamepads do. In this game since there is no way to turn off double tapping the screen to jump with your left thumb, it results in a lot of accidental jumping when you are trying to move using the left thumbstick. Release left thumbstick to neutral position, then press other direction, it jumps.
The controls are confusing for beginners, on my phone the button doesn't show for some things like shooting, jumping and zooming. Maybe make the screen more wide and fix the buttons for Nokia 5.3 and other devices that has this problem. But overall, this game is really fun, if you are a youtuber I recommend this game to you so this game becomes more popular and I don't have to play alone.
It's very nice game. Addictive and fun. Nostalgic player models are a welcome addition to it. However sometimes the turning controls would not work. I could not turn my character, which is a HUGE disadvantage. Please fix that. Also please add separate jump buttons. Apart from that, it's a very good game. Keep it up💓💓
so i started playing this a few weeks now on the pc and it was great. this mobile version is pretty great too but the thing is the jump button and the other buttons on the right side of my screen disappeared and i cant seem to edit the buttons to move them around. im on Oero os and have 1.4GHz snapdragon 425 quad core w/ 2GB ram. an update to fix this issue would be appreciated
Fun, but the controls are a bit finicky. You can't move them around. Also, if you lift up your aiming finger but leave your movement finger touching the screen, and the touching finger is out of the joystick bounds, then you keep turning in the direction you were turning when your aiming finger was on the screen.
So after playing quake3 on PC for most of my life and transition to open arena and I do play on nightmare so I kinda know what I'm saying, there is this bug with the looking aspect of the game were you " spin out" and look in random directions that and I have to redownload it because somehow it was acting up with a low frame rate and audio is delayed but that only happened recently, the biggest nucance is the fact it spins out and the customize button layout is Not that user friendy but gg
Just like the old times. To a degree. The controls are not top but it is one of few free android games that supports usb keyboard. A star down for difficulty - the transition is not smooth, the easiest difficulty is fine, anything above is mayhem. Which does not pair well with the awkward controls.
It's ok. Runs at a silky 60 FPS (maybe more). You can only play against bots. I play on my Shield TV using the Shield controller and the controls are terrible. I imagine it's better on mouse and keyboard, but as a lifelong couch gamer, I'm uncomfortable with that layout.
I have to say this is a very good port of a very great classical FPS game Quake 3 Arena and I am very happy that it has controller support even though you can't put the controls in specific points with an Xbox One controller having to play it with an Xbox One controller can get some getting used to but the controls are there and you can adjust the sensitivity in the menu all in all very good port of the great quake 3 Arena game and one that I can take on the go and have a fun time👍
I would really love if you would allow us to move the touch buttons around then the game will be playable. Right now I will need mouse and keyboard, just because we can't move the touch controls around. I prefer a quake port coz they got controls I can customize and aim properly on touch
Old school gaming revamped! Great controls, INVERTED AIM! Best FPS online shooter. Amazing grafix, only thing that would make it better is maybe a story mod for offline play. Very few newer games have inverted aim, its because the none inverts are deeply afrade of playing with a invert. Because of our old school ways. Thats why devs dont include inverted aim in most games.
The controls are absolutely dire, and clumsy.. Reconfiguring them is also not intuitive.. This just doesn't lend itself to touch screen control. Sure, if you plug a keyboard or mouse into your mobile it's great, but who seriously does that!?
You give us the option to play with pc users but no keyboard and mouse support. Gimps a great port overall, make lobbys for Android users like you have and then have keyboard and mouse servers. Doom supports it and the quake ports do as well. Now I have to install something else for my TV box to get it to work.
Brings me back to the old days.. I love how it feels like a quake game.. The graphics are not as good yet but the game play is really on point.. I would help support this game if there was a payment option..I haven't tried the VR setting in it yet. I'm sure it will be a nice experience.. Thank you for taking the time in making this game I will play it everyday..
This game is quite good, and I also enjoy the controller support, although it is a little unresponsive sometimes. And I would like to know if this game has keyboard support or not, mostly because it will be fun to use with a chromebook.
I have been waiting to try this...and I really love it when I have more time I'm gonna play it more but this is freaking awesome! I highly recommend this game if you like quake like stuff and the best part is it is compatible with game controllers..I have issues with my hands and stuff and the controller doesn't make my hands hurt as bad. Keep up the great work on this game guys and girls and squirrels
horrible controls. Once you sort out a mouse turning (like in any other FPS game) compatibility issue, I rate it 5*. otherwise, it's a shame you lot have a good game without a propper controls.
Im playing this on a chromebook, for some reason, when ever i start a game in it, the app just closes. I've resized it, allowed permission to files, deleted it and reinstalled it again, but nothing works.
i love this its just mouse and keyboard are not supported. rooting is not needed for mouse and keyboard you can just buy an adapter for your phone and then plug in a mouse then boom you see the cross hair and no its not illegal its in android 7+
This rating will go up if you can make it playable with Chromebooks---currently, the game crashes when I start a game. Hope you guys can fix it!!
Quake clone! Great recreation and plays almost the same.. Jump sprinting is a thing, rocket boosts work but are difficult.. However no one seems to be playing currently leaving the servers with a few bots to play with.. This game definetly needs more exposure.. Though, id imagine if QuakeLive ever went mobile this game may become obsolete, its fun for now though
This is a REALLY good game but the controls are hideous and its impossible to play this on the phone,which is a shame because it's one of the top notch free games you can get on the phone.I hope the developers care enough to fix it.
Love it, one thing to improve is to improve support on wider aspect ratio displays. But still very well done and fun to play.
It's freakin free! Controls are little hard but you get used to it. Old school but still lot of fun.
I dunno. I want to like it. It looks and sounds good, doesn't appear to lag in anyway. However, with an Xbox series X controller, it just doesn't work. I can walk, aim, and shoot for about 5 seconds then it just looks to the sky walking in circles shooting. Pressing B to zoom in and out helped for a few seconds, then returned to uncontrollable.
