Games like Standoff 2: plant, defuse, clutch
Critical Ops is the closest phone game to Standoff 2, with the same bomb defuse rounds. Call of Duty: Mobile has more modes, and on PC the game to play is Counter-Strike 2. Roam has team shooters with buy rounds and bomb sites.
What Standoff 2 is
Standoff 2 is a free mobile tactical shooter by AXLEBOLT. It borrows the Counter-Strike formula: two teams, a bomb, a buy menu between rounds and maps built around two sites. Team deathmatch and arms race modes give quicker games.
Skins are a big part of it. Players collect and trade weapon skins and knives, much like in CS. There is no official PC version: it is made for phones, and Counter-Strike 2 is the PC game it is modeled on.
