Some people are attracted to games of analysis, research and suspense, games that undoubtedly tend to present a great story, some perhaps based on movies, while others hope to one day reach the world of cinema. The truth is that, wherever we see it, I think that this type of video game is a success, as is the case of Hitman, a game that has achieved great success due to its history and gameplay.
LONEWOLF is a video game of snipers, analysis and suspense, which was created and distributed by FDG Entertainment for Android platforms and some web portals. The game has a history and a very good suspense, in addition to covering a series of plays at the level of the shots that manages to take much of the gameplay of Hitman to the level of analysis and precision, although simpler and lighter, since it is for mobile devices.
The best thing about LONEWOLF is its history, the truth is that they have enough material, you could even make a short film or a movie. In this case, the game manages to cover topics that are quite interesting for today's society, such as terrorism, politics, potential mafias and corruption and moral conflicts. The videogame to explain its history is divided into five chapters, each one explains a series of events in the story, sometimes it is necessary to go back to the past to understand the present.
Chapter 1: Presentations
A group of mobsters called "The Assembly" is in trouble, as they have broken off relations with their main partners in the drug and arms market, so a member of the Assembly and a former military man tells his colleagues that He knows very well sniper that is part of the same platoon where he was, and that, of course, considered him worthy of trust.
Knowing this, the Assembly decides to pay attention to Emile, who has said that his former partner Lonewolf has special abilities to kill and is also reliable. The Assembly quotes Lonewolf to talk to an intermediary about the problems they have and need to solve, where they offered to offer Lonewolf a job, but first he had to pass a series of tests, but Lonewolf accepts them and complies without problems.
Chapter 2: Meeting with Mando
Having surpassed the tests and missions of low level, Lonewolf demands to meet with Mando, the head of the members of the Assembly, since he felt cheated with the information that the intermediary gave him, he knew from the beginning that the intermediary that I was him he is only going to put obstacles in order to meet with Mando.
What really kept the middleman worried was that he did not know the motivation of Lonewolf to fulfill these missions, since he did not present clear feelings and had a low cost to accomplish his missions, that obviously would not give anybody confidence, let alone one. of the heads of the Assembly. Despite the distrust, the intermediary is not stupid, so he decides that Lonewolf should meet with Mando, who assigns him new missions, to take care of Readface, one of the main enemies of the Assembly.
Chapter 3: Emile and Lonewolf
This chapter tells the story and the relationships between Emile and Lonewolf, both were military and were part of the same platoon, but Lonewolf always showed empathy with his teammates, never spoke about him and always finished the first tests as his skill allowed and could be further away from their peers.
For training purposes, the general decides that men train in pairs so they are trained for upcoming missions, so they pair Emile with Lonewolf, which led them to be the best pair of platoons since Lonewolf skills. They also helped Emile be promoted, since it was something of couples.
Emile and Lonewolf being the best of the group, they are assigned a mission, find and kill Captain Raven, who has been responsible for spreading terrorism to plunder the riches of the cities he bombards and invades, but he was never able to catch him, Captain Raven He always set a trap for them, so in their last mission, Emile and Lonewolf were in grave danger, so their superiors decided it was too dangerous a mission and ordered them to leave.
Chapter 4: Nine years ago
In that chapter we will know the reason why the Assembly has so many problems and enemies, besides realizing that Mando is not as intelligent as it seems, because it is considered that he can lose control and make serious mistakes.
Nine years ago, Mando recruited a new member in the Assembly and entrusted him with a first mission to put him to the test, a mission he had to follow with a brother of Command, Nicky. The mission went wrong and Nicky died, so Mando began to seek answers and revenge with the aim that the death of his brother did not go unpunished.
After looting a police station and obtaining information, they realize that the member they had recruited was actually a police spy, so Mando decides to take revenge and go visit him at his house, where he loses control and does things that it was marked by life, at that time the intermediary began to take control of the Assembly on his own, since he did not fully trust Mando.
Chapter 5: The present
The Assembly gives one last mission to Lonewolf, to take over the Bear brothers, who are the main enemies of the Assembly. Lonewolf is required to bring his brother Bear alive so that Mando can interrogate him and torture him as he wishes, but in the mission Lonewolf makes the decision to kill him and makes his cell phone contact the other brothers, but it turned out that he started taking justice by your own hand.
Lonewolf murders all the brothers Bear and begins to kill the members of the Assembly, demanding to meet with Mando and the intermediary, but they are not stupid and avoid going with him at all costs, since it turns out that they have always unknown the intentions of Lonewolf As their price was very low, then they fear for their lives.
In the end they discover what were always the intentions of Lonewolf and his reason to help The Assembly, it turns out that Mando and Lonewolf had known each other for a long time, nine years exactly.
When we talk about graphics, the video game has little quality if we trust in the current technology, however, they manage to create a pretty good mysterious essence, since the lack of updated graphics allows the game to be more mysterious, feel suspended and connected.
When the story is presented, we can see a series of images similar to a cartoon or a comic, which makes the lovers of reading, despite everything, enjoy the game because the story is very good.
The missions also include very simple graphics, solid background images and people who move a lot in the style of the first PSX games. On the other hand, rain, vision and all environmental effects can be appreciated very easily. The environmental effects play a very important factor since being a sniper game, all these effects are part of the accuracy of the shots.
As for the sound, I must say that it goes hand in hand with the graphics, simple but appreciable, as with a comfortable background sound and a good sound of the shots, although it has to improve a little at the level of alarms and environmental effects such as rain and wind.
The game of LONEWOLF is quite simple, but at the same time interesting and analytical, since the video game is limited to shooting according to the story, but there are some difficulties in these shots, since many times it is necessary to make a preliminary analysis so that the missions know what is the exact moment to shoot, since any movement in Faso will cost us the mission.
According to the story, each chapter has a series of missions, each one of them can cover different scenarios and types of weapons to use, since we do not always limit ourselves to being snipers, many times we will have to use small arms and machine guns, although in Generally, in most missions, you work as a sniper.
To shoot there is a capacity for analysis and quickness in the fingers, since we have to analyze frequently which are the objectives to be killed, which ones to kill first, which ones to kill later and which one to kill last. It turns out that it is very important to know what is the exact order to shoot, since there are factors that can damage missions, such as alarms.
In some missions if you only need speed and precision, since it is fast and timely shooting, obviously without losing control as with each shot the weapon moves and we will end up shooting at the sky, it is necessary to have control over the weapon we use.
LONEWOLF also has a series of secondary games that are used to make bets and get more money, according to our bet we will get a different level of difficulty and a bigger reward. Each game has its type of weapon and action to perform, although in general they are all fast.
Positive aspects

The interesting game at the level of analysis and precision.
It is not necessary to invest money in the video game to enjoy it.
The controls are highly adjustable.
The variety of games and secondary weapons is quite broad.
A second part is expected for the video game.
Negative aspects
Sound requires an improvement in the level of environmental effects.
The graphics in the game level are too simple.
The gameplay becomes repetitive since we only shoot.
Those who love videogames for their story, LONEWOLF is made for them, because the story is the main reason why this videogame has more than ten million downloads on the Android platform, besides being a video game much sought after in the networks of games where it is available, have even appeared fictional news about the release of LONEWOLF 2, but it is not yet official.
Although its graphics and sound could be improved a lot, I think they could be considered good quality if we trust in the weight and quality of the application, since the game barely weighs 70 MB, which will make our mobile device can install it at any time. Besides, the consumption of resources in the battery and the level of processing is quite low.
All the images were taken from the video game on my mobile device.
