Why you can trust GamesRadar+
Elite Forces is a tactical shooter that involves a squad of four specialized soldiers (demolitions, sniper, electronics expert, tank) traipsing through the jungle on a mission to annihilate countless cannon-fodder enemies.
The control method is a bit odd (the game is played entirely using the stylus) and you can’t assign different tactics to your squad members – instead you have direct control over one of them while the rest follow obediently, and you can switch between them or split them up as you see fit.
Each soldier has a weapon or skill in one of the aforementioned specialties – a sniper rifle, grenades, a rocket launcher and the ability to see and defuse landmines. Different parts of the missions often require specific skills, so you’ll be assigned the appropriate pair of soldiers to clear out an area or defeat a boss before rejoining the others and continuing to the end.
