Blood Strike: 2.5 Anniversary

Blood Strike: 2.5 Anniversary is NetEase Games' fast-paced shooter, a battle royale available across several platforms that leans on quick matches and characters with special abilities. The anniversary label in the title marks its current event season rather than a separate game.

The cast is built around more than 15 Strikers, each with a distinctive ability, and the developer stresses that there are no fixed roles, so any player can lead a squad. Weapons number over 30 and can be customised and mixed, down to combinations like dual Uzis. Movement techniques such as recoil control and slide-shooting reward practice. Four main modes form the core: Battle Royale, Squad Fight, Hot Zone and Weapon Master, plus limited-time modes; some allow respawning until the late stages, which discourages camping. The latest addition is Overdrive, a faster and more intense mode, along with random events in matches such as Pinata Drop crates and hot spring zones that hand out new tactical items. A login event currently awards a P90 skin.

With 100,000,000+ installs and about 1.1 million ratings, it averages 4.3; 75% of ratings are five stars and 12% are one star. The game shows no ads, and in-app purchases range from $0.29 to $99.99 per item. It was updated on 2026-09-23, needs Android 6.0 or newer, which is generous for a modern shooter, and is rated Teen. We list 24 versions; the newest is 1.003.650019 at 566.4 MB.

Shooter fans who want fast rounds and hero-style abilities without needing a high-end phone should give it a look. Players short on storage, or who prefer slower tactical shooters, may find it less suited.
