Netflix’s games service continues to surprise us with its new releases and February’s line-up is no different. The streaming service has teamed up with Ubisoft to launch Rainbow Six: SMOL on mobile, a chibified version of the legendary tactical shooter.
This isn’t just a simple mobile port, so we’re still waiting for the Rainbow Six Mobile release date, but instead Rainbow Six: SMOL offers a “tiny, funny, whimsical take” on the beloved game, designed for smaller screens. Rather than sticking to the franchise’s FPS roots, SMOL is a top-down game drawn in a cartoonish isometric style that helps it stand out from its older brother.
You play as a Rainbow recruit, leading a team of operators through a range of dangerous scenarios, like defusing a bomb, hostage negotiation, and, of course, taking down the bad guys. Yes, SMOL is made for smaller screens, but it’s still jam-packed with content. Explore five game modes crawling with ten unique enemy factions, including dragons and demons. Plus, everything is destructible!
If you need a break from all the chaos, Netflix Games also launched Pinball Masters alongside this new Rainbow Six title. Relive the nostalgia of the arcade by playing through Godzilla and Kong-themed tables and experiencing Zen Studios’ expertly crafted physics engine.
That’s everything you need to know about Rainbow Six SMOL. While you’re here, check out our list of the best Netflix games on the service and our Hades mobile guide.
