Our verdict
Delta Force suits fans of free tactical shooters who want large battles with tanks and helicopters, a squad extraction mode and progress that carries over between PC and phone. The trade-offs are a heavy install (1.3 GB on iOS), loot boxes and in-game purchases, and some reviews about lag or lost guest accounts.

Experience & key features
Delta Force is a free-to-play first-person tactical shooter developed by Team Jade, part of TiMi Studio Group. Garena publishes it in Southeast Asia, Taiwan, Central and South America, Brazil, the Middle East and North Africa. According to Garena, the PC version launched on 5 December 2024 and the iOS and Android versions on 22 April 2025, after more than 25 million pre-registrations.
The official site presents three modes. Warfare is large-scale land, sea and air combat with tanks and helicopters, each side split into four-player squads. Operations is an extraction mode for three-player squads: drop in, loot valuables, fight bosses and find a way out, by rocket, wingsuit or sewer pipe according to the Google Play description. Black Hawk Down is a remastered story mode set in Mogadishu. Warfare player counts differ between sources: the 2024 announcement says 32 vs 32, while the Google Play description says 48 players.
Cost and value
The game is free to download and play. Real money buys Delta Coins and item bundles: on the Indonesia App Store the smallest pack is 60 coins for Rp 15,000 and the largest 3,280 coins (plus 670 bonus) for Rp 700,000. The App Store also notes that the game contains loot boxes. Garena's terms say purchases are non-refundable and accounts with no login for over 6 months may be deleted along with all their items.
On standing, Google's blog (18 November 2025) says Delta Force won Best Multiplayer in the Best of Google Play 2025 awards in Taiwan and Indonesia, citing its 32 vs 32 Warfare mode. The award is per market, not global. Players comparing other free shooters can look on Steam, the Epic Games Store or Google Play Games.
