In the mobile gaming market in particular, there are many imitations of well-known games. In most cases, however, they never attract much attention. Area F2 is an exception by Ejoy. Ubisoft claims that this is just a copy of Rainbow Six: Siege.
For this reason, the shooter was reported to Apple and Google with the request that they be taken from their respective distribution platforms to remove. Since neither company complied with the request, the publisher is now suing them.
It's all stolen!
The developer and publisher explains that Area F2 has all aspects Stolen from Rainbow Six: Siege have. According to him, every aspect "from the operator selection to the point table and everything in between" is only copied.
The official trailers that the developer has uploaded to Youtube give an impression of Area F2. In one of these, for example, he puts the Agents of the game in front. Here the parallels to Rainbow Six become clear. We have selected a few examples for you:
- Hammer: Destroy walls with a ram like sledge.
- Cobra: Can set poison traps like Lesion.
- Lightning: Powers defenders' gadgets like Bandit.
- Volcano: Destroy reinforced walls like Thermite.
