Snowbreak: Containment Zone

Free-to-play sci-fi shooter

Snowbreak: Containment Zone is a free role-playing game from Seasun Games. Built on Unreal Engine 4, this sci-fi action experience is rendered fully in 3D and aims to bring mobile gaming to the next level. With cross-platform support, you can continue your progress whether you’re on your phone or PC.

Set in the barren wasteland of Containment Zone Aleph, Snowbreak: Containment Zone lets you play as a member of the Heimdall Force to accomplish various missions that will ultimately bring the extended winter to an end. It’s like a mix between Genshin Impact, Call of Duty: Mobile, and Arknights.

A mix of myth and tech

One compelling aspect of Snowbreak: Containment Zone is its story. An event called the Descent of the Titans turned a city into a devastated Containment Zone. There are references to Norse mythology in the form of the Heimdall Force and the extended winter. On the other hand, it features futuristic firearms that allow for a flexible RPG experience. It also features a good range of enemies, including the massive Titans.

As an RPG shooter, it feels like Code Vein in terms of visuals and controls. It’s easy to learn and injects realism, such as in the gunfire and movement mechanics. The game also features various global servers including Asia, SEA, Europe, and the Americas. It’s also worth noting that the game features gacha elements, meaning you get to acquire some of your characters, or Operatives, in a randomized fashion.

With top-quality graphics and animation, expect some heavy requirements to go with it. In terms of storage space, prepare at least 20GB to accommodate this game. It also requires at least 8GB of RAM and the latest DirectX versions to run this game immediately. With full controller support, as well as optimized mapping for keyboard and mouse, you can play this game however you see fit.
