      No, please just don‘t. The reason these games worked was precisely because they were optimized for the mobile market.
      Modern Combat 3 and 4 were the best. Gangster Vegas was good too until they decided to make it a lootbox cash grab game. Blitz Brigade, Gangster Rio and Miami were good games for their time, but aged terribly.

      It's the masses and the lowest common denominator approach. Games quickly reached the "casual" layers, meaning that they now reach billions of users. And it's just incredibly profitable to just do a quick low effort asset flip - sometimes even with stolen assets - than it is to actually try to produce a good game, that requires effort. The masses are mostly ignorant and easy to trick.

You also had to actually find sick and injured animals in the wild instead of just buying them in a store.
