Predators is an action game developed by Romanian studio Angry Mob Games and released for iOS in 2010, with an Android version following later. Published by Chillingo and Fox Digital Entertainment, it serves as a mobile tie-in to the 2010 film Predators, putting players in control of the iconic Yautja hunters on an alien game preserve. Across a series of short missions, you stalk human prey, unlock new gear and hunt for trophies, capturing the violent jungle skirmishes and trophy-taking rituals seen in the movie.
Background & release
Predators was developed by Angry Mob Games as an officially licensed adaptation of the 2010 film, designed specifically for smartphones and tablets.
It first launched on the App Store for iOS devices in mid-2010, arriving ahead of the movie in some regions, and later came to Android via Fox Digital Entertainment.
The game focuses on the elite alien hunters rather than the human cast, letting players experience the film’s premise from the Predator’s perspective as they stalk and eliminate heavily armed mercenaries in dense jungle arenas.
Structure & design
Gameplay is built around compact missions that can be cleared in a few minutes, matching the mobile format.
Over the course of the campaign, players unlock additional Predator classes, armor pieces and weapons inspired by the film, including blades, spears and ranged tools used to quietly thin out the human squads.
Levels often encourage stealthy approaches, rewarding careful use of cloaking and positioning, but still allow for aggressive, close-quarters brawls when fights inevitably break out.
Critical reception
On iOS, Predators received generally positive reviews from mobile outlets, with critics highlighting its visuals, gory finishing moves and faithful use of the license for a download-sized tie-in.
The game was frequently singled out as one of the stronger early mobile adaptations of a major sci-fi property, even if its mission structure and controls reflected the limitations of the hardware at the time.
Its success eventually paved the way for Angry Mob’s later work on Alien vs. Predator: Evolution, another mobile title expanding the broader AVP universe.
Predators is a mission-based third-person action game built around stalking, ambushing and brutally dispatching human targets. You control a lone Predator from an overhead perspective, using cloaking, thermal vision-style targeting and the surrounding jungle to close in on enemy squads. Successful hunts earn trophies and experience that unlock new weapons, gear and Predator types, from lighter hunters to heavily armored bruisers. Later stages introduce better-equipped human opponents who coordinate, use explosives and heavy weapons, forcing you to pick off stragglers, strike from above and make careful use of your limited health and energy while completing film-inspired objectives.
Mobile tie-in to the 2010 film Predators, released on iOS and later Android devices. Developed by Angry Mob Games and published by Chillingo and Fox Digital Entertainment, the game shifts the focus entirely to the Predator side of the conflict, casting the humans as hunted prey. It mixes stealth and melee combat with short, self-contained missions suited to mobile play sessions and is often remembered as one of the more faithful early smartphone adaptations of a major sci-fi movie license.
