Tom Clancy's Elite Squad Critic Reviews

Overall, Elite Squad does follow a familiar gameplay loop; particularly for those that already play Marvel Strike Force. However, we thoroughly recommend Elite Squad, not just to Tom Clancy fans, but to those that are looking for a gacha RPG that offers something a little different. Battles are actually something to look forward to here, rather than something you just get out of the way to earn the reward.

Tom Clancy's Elite Squad is a game with great potential on paper, which unfortunately has been literally wasted due to the formula chosen by the developers: a very simple gacha with mainly automatic gameplay.

If you don't get fooled by the artificial increase in playtime caused by the multiplicity of modes and resources, you will quickly get bored.

The crashes aren’t the main issue with Elite Squad: it’s the complete predictability and lack of imagination found in every corner of the app that’s the problem. This is nothing more than "Free-to-Play Mobile Game: The Game" with a Tom Clancy skin. A perfectly adequate time-waster, but those are a dime a dozen on smartphones.

Elite Squad is a blandly generic gacha game, with tedious, tactics-free, but mercifully brief gun battles tacked onto the front end.
