"Ballistic is a class-driven squad-based multiplayer shooter. It started much more simply, with a large skill tree from which players could draw. As Rumble watched, they noticed players adopting specific styles of play and directed Aquiris to use these to create the attributes for the individual classes."

Previously a PC exclusive, not to mention a component of Radian's Quadtastic Launch Collection, the game has made its way onto Apple's mobile platforms without appearing to have made any compromises in terms of content
Skills sound like more fun because there's more variation, but for a small team balancing different classes was probably much easier.
Would be fun with a team of guys with mics that are willing to work together
