I found out about the existence of this game yesterday oddly enough from a Penny Arcade comic strip. I quite like the main Paladins game, so I downloaded Strike last night and played a few matches.

I'm quite impressed, it's surprisingly fun, even though I don't normally play games like this on mobile. The controls mostly work very well for touchscreen (with the exception of the virtual analogue stick movement, which feels atrocious).

The only mobile game which I'm currently playing regularly is Jurassic World Alive, although I could see myself playing a few games of Strike a day for the next few weeks.

This game is actually quite fun. I downloaded it last night not expecting much. I am not into mobile games, let alone action mobile games. But this one is really well made. I am actually a bit excited to unlock my favorite champs from the main game, primarily Tyra but also ruckus and a couple others.

I went in expecting to not really like it but was pleasantly surprised.

It's kinda amazing how well hirez is treating their paladins IP. First, big hit with paladins. Now paladins strike. And soon paladins battle royale. And yet, the games don't seem to get much love here....

I gave it a shot. More fun than I expected, but for some reason my connection was really shaky. Speed test is returning 50-70mbps, so I'm not sure what's up.

This is so much fun. I went to play one or two games and then got sucked into like 6 more. I got enough to unlock a champ, gonna try a couple out in practice mode before deciding but probably tyra.

Summons is a great mode. Reminds me of some early closed beta paladins gameplay a little.

Seriously I am surprised this game isn't getting more attention since I seen a lot of crappier gacha rpgs do well.

So we've got a Paladins Strike OT now, but still not one for Paladins proper. :P

I don't get it. Paladins is an amazing game.

Game is fun but soooo buggy. Latency is really bad and I'll frequently get disconnected from my game and subsequently stuck at a "reconnecting" screen until the enemy team invariably wins.

Needs a serious dose of polish. Kinda like regular Paladins.

Of the 20 or so games Ive played, about 6 of them have ended in this "reconnecting" screen. That's really bad. And you never reconnect. The process is broken. I can't get another game either. I have to restart the whole app.

Weird, I haven't had a single connection issue.

That's because you can't have a Paladins topic without it soon devolving into people crying about it being an Overwatch clone, despite having never played it.

Too true. Mods don't care either, they just let the shit posting go on uncontested.

Huh, same here. On a 70mbps down, 10 up connection too.

I just read this in a post regarding issues on the Strike subreddit

- Currently, during any given game mode (including *ranked siege*), the Hi-Rez Host server connection force quits an individual's connection despite and regardless of their personal WiFi connection (it can be highly functional), this happens indefinitely forcing AI to take over the character and rendering the player unable to play until force quitting and restarting the app. This is a window of 3-5 minutes which is just unacceptable for *competitive rank modes especially.* Depending on a player's location/server/device, this can happen at give or take ~25% of matches!

Sounds like my problem to a T.

Ugh, I hate this game. It's so broken on a networking and performance level, but it has a core appeal to it that makes it hard to just drop.
