Team up with others to beat zombies or jump in fun mech battles

Counter War: The Future is a sci-fi shooter where you pilot mechs to fight off hordes of zombies. Set in 2071, it’s a sequel to Assault Fire/Counter War (Nizhan). Team up with friends and use powerful weapons like machine guns, lasers, and grenades, all brought to life with stunning graphics from Unreal Engine 5.

This action game looks really promising – it seems like it’ll stay engaging for a long time because all the different game modes are appealing. If you get tired of one, like fighting zombies in Hunting Ground, you can easily switch to something else, such as the strategic Tower Defense mode where you place units and traps. I’m personally most excited to play Mech Wars and Time-Space Hunting.

I’m really hoping this game launches worldwide soon! I’m super excited to try out the tower defense stuff, but honestly, the 4v4 co-op racing mode is what I’m most hyped about. Throw in the seasonal updates, awesome guns, beautiful graphics, and the fact that it’ll work on all my devices… this game feels like it could be huge!

The mobile game, Counter War: The Future (Nizhan Future), is now available for download on both Android and iOS devices in China. Players can get it from the App Store or TapTap China.
