Dinsun Expert Review
Our Expert Score
Critical Ops is as close as you can get to a true competitive PC shooter on a phone. It’s clearly inspired by Counter-Strike, and that’s a good thing. The controls are responsive, and the 'no aim-assist' approach in competitive modes really makes the skill ceiling high.
I appreciate that it’s not pay-to-win; all the microtransactions are purely cosmetic. The maps are well-designed for tactical play, and communication with your team is actually important. If you’re looking for a serious FPS on mobile without the fluff of modern battle royales, this is the one.

Tips & Walkthrough
Choose between Defuse, where one team tries to plant a bomb and the other defends; Team Deathmatch, a race for kills; and Gun Game, where you cycle through weapons with every kill. Competitive mode uses Defuse rules and affects your global rank.
Gameplays
The game features realistic recoil and movement mechanics. Success requires learning weapon patterns, map awareness, and tactical positioning. There is no auto-fire, meaning every shot depends on the player's timing and aim.

Very good game
Fri Jun 28 2024 N0VEDI love this game and play it all the time. I also have a ton of suggestions to make. New game modes. Make an elimination game where everyone has the same gun and if player a from breach kills player a from coalition, then player a from co dies. However if player b from coalition kills player a from breach then player a from co respawns. So one team needs to kill the other whole team. With our dying after getting a kill. Additional game mode. Make one similar to manhunt last Halloween where when some one dies they switch teams then first team to have all the players wins. When making a custom game add the seasonal mini games as game mode options. Like manhunt, triple threat, fire and steel etc. not just defuse, death match, and gun game. make an easier way to get credits. Like a weekly mission that’s hard like get 100 kills with a gun or kill all the players on a team single handedly. make a way to trade skins player to player with friends. Like you can trade a tier 4 ak skin for a tier 4 ak skin or a tier 4 for 2 tier 2s or a tier 3 and a 1. Make it so you can cash in skins for their credit value or a percentage of the value. Make no knives an option in custom games but make a minimum of one gun or weapon. Make it so that you can have 3 grenades but any 3. So 2 frags and a flash, Or 3 smoke etc. Make the guns in gun game a different order or make that customizable when making a custom game. So a only pistol gun game. Or only shotgun. Add weather. And maybe just in custom games but make it so it can be rainy or foggy or day or night time. Make a capture the flag mode where you have to steal the other teams “flag”. It could just be the person has an aura or something. Make a maze map where there is a ton of twists and turns. So you have to be ready and you can’t camp. And make an algorithm that changes the walls every time. Once again. This game is a blast to play and I enjoy it a lot. Keep up the good work!! Have a good day.
5 year game review - c-ops team please read this
Sat Jan 18 2025 Game 👍 or 👎?I have known and played critical ops for many years now, known to be actually one of the good FPS games out there, and for awhile over several different devices and accounts, its overall been a great game. Until the last year or so. It’s still not horrible but from changing to goofy player models to adding a borderline unless trade up system, to adding too many silencers to guns, to adding a marketplace and several other things to has really been the real downfall of this game in the last year or so. I know like 15 people that play this game and pretty much all of them say they don’t really play the game anymore because of too many changes made to the game. Just like Fortnite did with bringing back an OG version (which actually worked) is EXACTLY what critical ops should do too. There was statistically more playing this game a couple-few years ago compared to today. For example, because of the marketplace added it has caused pretty much all the skins to have lost value making it not really fun to collect them anymore. Bringing back the older player models that didn’t have goofy walking animations, bringing back OG critical passes, and OG events. And I’m not just talking about seasonal cases, I’m talking about full-on events. I could be potentially wrong, but I feel like changing back to a lot of the OG things would be real beneficial to the game and more fun. And I know many people that would most likely start playing it more often again.
Hello people
Tue May 28 2024 Anonymous 0_øHello developers if you see this thank you for making this game I was around 6 I would say when i got a tablet and I was looking for some mobile shooters games all the ones I found were horrible then my brother came across y’all’s game and told me to download ofc I did because he was 12 at the time we’ll we played it together everyday until he ended up passing away he died a year after we downloaded this game so like 8 years ago he was involved in a crash he was riding with his girlfriend’s dad all 3 of em died and my brothers death really affected me and I fully quit playing games and started staying alone more until a year ago when I found my old tablet (I’m now 15 with my own phone) well I found this game and all the good memories of me and my brother came back to me and now I’m out of the depression that I fell into thank you for helping me out of it and I wish y’all blessings
EVERYONE SMURFS
Fri Aug 08 2025 corbinrm17Before I start for anyone that don’t know what smurfing is, it is when and high ranking/level player creats a separate account with no rank or level to get into lower level lobby’s and rank games. NOW, Every game that u get in whether it be ranked, unranked, tdm anything there is a guy that is spec ops on his main but only plays the Smurf account level 40 witch makes the game unplayable. Community is the worst all the new players quit because of cheaters or smurfs. There should only be allowed one account per device and email/number. This is one of the best cs like mobile games out there but if you don’t have bots as teammates then your playing the top ranked players in the game which makes the game not enjoyable at all. Even without smurfing if you que into a tdm your still gonna go against spec ops because the match making is basically non existent. Once you get past bronze in ranked and really even in those lower ranks you’re still gonna play top ranked players with alt accounts to “have fun” by killing people trying to learn the game. Maybe if yall would actually put more effort into the community like making more maps and better anti cheats and better matchmaking instead of making new boxes and skins that cost real money to get so u can take everyone’s money. Maybe y’all’s player base wouldn’t be at a constant downfall if yall fixed those things and actually made it where newer players progress with other newer players instead of immediately putting them against top ranks and smurfs. And I only gave 4 stars so my review would actually be seen. And y’all did just come out with a new map, but it’s a very small map and it’s not in any of the game modes options it’s only available in customs lobby’s. It’s very sad that the development of the game is only focused on making money instead of the community. Please please please make better matchmaking and focused on the community more or this game will be completely dead in less then a couple years
Storytime (from a real person)
Mon Dec 18 2023 carrie_lynn24Got a kindle fire 7 HD or whatever, when i was about 7. (Im 16 now) my mom’s boyfriend was always real big about games, really excited for the new consoles. And really adamant about his love for games. One day i must have been really bickering about my tablet not having that many good games (as it has the kindle store, and not google play store like most androids have) because he took it and “hacked” it if you will, and got the google play store. I downloaded C-ops as i was a huge fan of csgo and i loved the idea of a tactical mobile shooter. Although its been a while since i was that young, i always find myself coming back to this game. Amazing gameplay. And pretty good guns. I really dont like mobile games that make the main source of getting any in-game cosmetics real money. Ive tried for years to get gloves or a bali. But just amazing vibes playing this game.
You get what you get and sometimes don’t like it
Mon Aug 07 2023 N0aHtHeGameRI’ve been playing this game for about 2 years and I loved it but all of the sudden the game just got super laggy. I love shooting games pvp games etc but sometimes they are not the best. Critical ops is super fun but the servers are insane with lag. The buildup of lag I get is crazy and one time it got so bad it kicked from the game completely. I don’t know what the issue is but it could be the device I play on which is especially not good because if that’s the case for other people then that means they would have to probably go out to get a new tablet phone or whatever they use. Also i feel like there should be different ways to get gun skins not just by buying them or getting battlepass for them. I feel that there should be missions to get them. The last thing is that I wish more maps were playable because it feels like there is just 2 or 3 maps for every mode.
Honest opinion of a diamond ranked player.
Thu Feb 12 2026 HchehabdbebqbSo thisgame is actually so fun! Ive been playing since 2018 i think? I tend to come back t this game for nostalgia sake. I wish we could lowkey buy old critical ops model characters as operators as a throwback shop or something yk? I wish there were different gun models aswell! Like a different ak models etc! Ive heard ab the 1.6 update and boy am i hype! Buffing anti cheat. Fixing shots not regulating correctly bc of the way they modeled the hitbox etc. also id like a map or two dedicated to T side. Like picture this. T comes in on a helicopter of sum sort and ct has to fight there way back in! Id love to get in contact with cops developers to throw ideas out here and there! Also can we get a gun change from only right handed to left handed too? Thatd be a neat detail 😊.
cheater/smurf problem
Sat Jul 20 2024 DIE122so I took a long break from this game bc a cheater problem had started to emerge around 2-3 years ago and it was just very frustrating to play against them in ranked but after reading the patch notes and playing 3 games of TDM i’ve run into at least 3 blatant cheaters and like 1-2 others that were very suspicious. I’m just super confused bc you guys said you added a better anti cheat but the first game i played there was a guy quick peaking corners and just insta headshots every time. and my second match i had a teammate who again never missed a headshot and just 180 flicked whenever someone was in LOS (line of sight), my third game i ran into a guy who i’m pretty sure was cheating bc his headshot ratio was in the 90% and again had inhuman reaction speeds. but other than that i’d say the addition of controller and keyboard support is great just need to get the hackers under control and the game will be as good as i remember.
