Zula is a free-to-play first-person shooter video game developed by Delight Games, initially released and developed in Turkey in 2015[1]. Later, the game was released outside of Turkey, debuting first in Brazil in June 2016, launched by the company Playspot[2] The construction of the game began in 2013. There are 16 different characters with distinct stories within the game, involving two enemy factions: 1) Zula, comprising patriotic soldiers and intelligence officers, and 2) Gladyo, consisting of mercenaries. Zula offers a wide range of ammunition choices, including local weapons such as Mehmetçik and Kırıkkale[3][4]. Turkey experienced the game through Steam[5] with its maps and characters. On July 12, 2017, Valve removed it from the Steam platform citing violations of their rules, but after addressing the issues, Valve republished it on the platform.
