F1 2016 Mobile

F1 2016 is a Formula 1 themed racing game, created exclusively for Apple iOS devices. It’s a paid “premium” title - that means that the game doesn’t employ microtransactions. Even if the title is the same as in the case of PCs and consoles, it’s a separate project, created by Codemasters with mobile market in mind.

Mechanics

The title of the game seems to explain the whole idea. We receive a racing game that recreates season 2016 of Formula 1. The authors took care to acquire all the necessary licenses, with the game sporting real teams, vehicles, and race tracks. During the gameplay, we race head-to-head with F1 icons such as Lewis Hamilton, Sebastian Vettel, Max Verstappen, Fernando Alonso, or Sergio Perez. In all, the developing team prepared twenty-one faithfully recreated tracks, while the game maintains its realistic feel thanks to virtual recreations of twenty-two drivers and eleven teams.

Mobile version of F1 2016, created for iOS, places heavy emphasis on realism. The authors incorporated a complex physics engine, faithfully simulating Formula One cars' handling during races. Controlling the vehicle during high speeds is a real challenge, but for less experienced players, a number of settings affecting the difficulty level were introduced, including braking and turning support.

Game Modes

Players can go through a full F1 season on their own, or create a customized season, where the number, location, and the type of races are up to their disposal. Persons interested in shorter playspans, can take on single races, and a bit more complex weekend competitions.
