So today we have Ultimate Alliance 3 going up against a Fireside favorite, Future Fight. Can a mobile freemium game stand up against a franchise that it’s desperately trying to be, or did it surpass it with all its able to offer what Ultimate Alliance can’t. Felix if joined by Mendte and Features who have both been playing Future Fight for about 3 years now. If you are into either games, or interested in trying them out stay tuned. Welcome to Fireside.
