A New PUBG game was launched in India and I'm here with the review of the first impressions of PUBG Mobile Lite. For those who don't know, the game is a lightweight version of the hit PUBG Mobile game.
Compared to PUBG Mobile, PUBG Mobile Lite only has a 500MB download file size and is designed to work on smartphones with as little as 2GB of RAM. PUBG Mobile Lite is published by Chinese company Tencent Games, which is also behind PUBG Mobile (original) and Call of Duty Mobile.
So, without wasting any time, here is our first review of impressions of the PUBG Mobile Lite -
PUBG Mobile Lite System Requirements
PUBG Mobile Lite will run on any smartphone with 2GB RAM and a decent processor. The game only requires 500MB of storage. For comparison, the larger card in the original PUBG Mobile requires 403MB of space.
As we will see in the PUBG Mobile Lite review, the game takes over a number of features from the original game. PUBG Mobile Lite was launched to attract huge audiences who had lagged behind due to the lack of a powerful smartphone.
PUBG Mobile Lite Review: First Look at Graphics and Settings
The first thing you will notice in PUBG Mobile Lite is the degradation of colors and graphics. In the settings menu of PUBG Mobile Lite, there is no Graphics tab and you cannot change game visuals.
As a result, the textures of the characters as well as the surrounding areas appear to be of very poor quality. Across the settings menu, there are fewer tabs to tinker with.
The language option in settings offers seven languages compared to 13 languages in the original from PUBG Mobile.
In PUBG Mobile Lite, there is no option to choose matchmaking or chat language in the settings menu. Although both of these options are present in the original PUBG Mobile.
Other changes to PUBG Lite include the lack of 'Clan', 'Crew' and 'Armory' options; instead, "Season", "Ranking" and "Inventory" tabs are available.
Additionally, instead of the Royal Pass, the PUBG Mobile Lite offers Winners Pass which grants players additional loot prizes.
PUBG Mobile Lite: Gameplay Impressions
The PUBG Mobile Lite has two game modes namely "Classic" and "Arcade". In Classic Mode, which can have up to 60 players, there is only one map currently available, which is called Erangel. In Arcade mode, there is again the only card available that unlocks at level 10 named War.
In original PUBG Mobile, there are three modes and several different maps. I expect the small list of PUBG Mobile Lite to grow in the future as more people start to join.
Now let's talk about the actual gameplay.
The gameplay of PUBG Mobile Lite includes the same gameplay mechanics as the original game. The graphics look a bit dull and the colors a bit faded, but the overall controls are absolutely similar.
One notable difference between the gameplay of PUBG Mobile Lite and PUBG Mobile was the lack of a quick chat option in the Lite version.
There were some notable issues in the game as well. As I moved around inside a building, I was able to notice the shadows passing through the ceiling inside the room. This issue is a serious issue as it could give your location to any other player inside a particular building.
Apart from that, all other gaming functions of PUBG Mobile Lite work the same as the original version of PUBG Mobile. All vehicles, guns and other items are all present in PUBG Mobile Lite.
There is also bad news for all those players who like to play on international servers. PUBG Mobile Lite only has two servers available namely Asia and South America. Compare it to the original from PUBG Mobile, which has six servers located across North America, Europe, and the Middle East, and you'll start to notice the lack of a good player base.
Other important gameplay changes in PUBG Lite include:
- Ability to heal while moving
- Increased time to kill
- Increased bullet damage
- No ball drop effect
- The shooter is exposed within the scope of the mini map
- Loot increase
PUBG Mobile Lite: Conclusion of First Impressions
Tencent Gaming's PUBG Mobile Lite is an attempt to hijack the ever-expanding player base of smartphone gamers. The minimum system requirement of the game ensures that regardless of the smartphone the user is able to play the game without any hiccups.
In its current state, the PUBG Mobile Lite lacks important features like graphics settings and some good quality maps. However, the changes made by PUBG Mobile Lite could ultimately mean success in favor of the game.
