Rainbow Six SMOL is a Netflix-exclusive mobile shooter playable now
Ubisoft has announced and immediately released Rainbow Six SMOL, a mobile game inspired by its successful tactical shooter Rainbow Six: Siege. It’s available exclusively via Netflix Games, so you’ll need an active subscription with the streaming service to access it.
Described as a fast-paced, roguelite shooter, Rainbow Six SMOL features a cartoony art style with some bizarre environments and enemies, which would likely not fit into your regular Siege game. Going by what’s visible in the title’s announcement trailer, which you can watch below, players will be on familiar missions such as breaching buildings and rescuing hostages.
Different character classes like Trooper, Warrior, and Gunslinger appear to be selectable, giving you different options and playstyles. Plus, some familiar faces from Siege seem to have made their way over into the SMOL universe to join your squad and support you with their abilities.
Just like in other roguelites or auto-shooters, your power grows as you progress through a run thanks to a randomly generated reward pool you create an impromptu build from. Using these abilities and a dodge roll, you’ll have to fight your way through the game’s levels and defeat strong opponents in order to save the world.
Netflix stated that there’d be “no in-game ads, no extra fees, [and] no in-app purchases” in Rainbow Six SMOL.
