Summary

There’s nothing quite as liberating as running around, scouting out locations, and hunting for enemies. Testing out your quick-time thinking skills and neutralizing enemies on the battlefield sounds like a great way to keep yourself on your toes.

Experiencing that rush with the camera behind your back just doesn’t cut it though. From a first-person perspective, everything feels more real and immersive comparatively. That’s why most shooter games let you dive into the action head-first, in order to keep you on the edge of your seat. The Android Play Store has a wide selection of some top-tier FPS games worth a download.

If you’re a fan of more toony and character-focused FPS games likeOverwatch, T3 Arena is something similar for Android. Not only is ita team-based shooter, but the game’s art style and graphics are much more stylized and colorful than your typical FPS. You have access to around 30 different heroes, which can make a variety of combos in your teams of three or five.

The matches are tailored to be around five minutes long at maximum, so you can get some quick games in while you’re idling, or if you just want to play something that won’t take up too much of your time.

Android, iOS, Nintendo Switch

Sometimes you just want to shoot at some vicious aliensin a sci-fi setting, and Shadowgun Legends lets you do exactly that. The game is particularly good if you’ve got friends who are into the same thing, because you may play virtually every mission in co-op. There’s also a space bar that acts as a hub for mingling with others and potentially finding new teammates.

And if PvP is more your jam, the game’s got that too. It’s the best of both worlds, and it means more ways to show off your customized armor and variety of weapons.

Cover Fire features a series of QuickTime style events for gameplay as you follow through the campaign missions. You’re given a few objectives to fulfill that are easy enough to follow through and complete in order to earn yourself some stars. All missions cost energy, and you’ve only got a limited amount.

It’s easy to level up, but the game definitely spikes up in difficulty by the time you reach the end of chapter one. The controls are easy to master, but the timing is crucial and tough to nail down especially when you come face to face with a giantMetal Gear-esque mecha.

A game that’s centered around using your wits to orchestrate the perfect murder, your goal is to make each interaction seem like a brutal accident in order to eliminate the target and rack up points. You play as the titular Agent 47 who lays perched up at an elevated spot ready to mow down one baddie after the next.

The game’s got good graphics, and several areas to explore with unique environmental triggers that can help with disposing of enemies one by one. It’s easy to pick up, all you have to do is press either the fire or reload buttons and aim well.

With decent graphics, fast load times, and surprisingly easy combat mechanics, Battle Prime isa great FPSto burn your time away with especially because it keeps matchmaking somewhat fair and features quick rounds that don’t feel exhausting to play through.

The weapon selection, battle pass, sound design, and characters coupled with the well-detailed maps make it a fairly enjoyable experience. The best part about this game is that it won’t gobble away a ton of your phone’s storage space, despite how well-made it is, and it’s easy on the battery too.

If you’re a fan of classicCounter Strikegameplay, then Standoff 2 is a good candidate to keep you engaged for hours with its uniquely reminiscent mechanics and cartoonishly fun combat. The steep learning curve does however make the game rather challenging but landing shots is fairly satisfying.

The game will reward you for map knowledge and placement. There’s a good amount of weapons to choose from and a lot of game modes to play against others looking to level up by winning too. Sometimes you’re able to get hit by an unfair headshot out of nowhere, but that’s just the charm of playing something that’s an homage to the old CS formula.

Fast-paced, satisfying, and surprisingly holds a lot of debt, Combat Master is a fun bounce-off-the-wall experience that mirrors the vibes you’d get from loading up a game ofCS:GO. The game features all kinds of maps and leagues to play in, as well as seasonal updates that spice up the events.

The controls are fully customizable, and the matchmaking is surprisingly fluid too. Although you might get paired with players above your rank, it’s not hard to expect to have your team members carry you to victory.

Much like its console and PC counterparts, Warzone Mobile is an FPS battle royale game with an emphasis on intense gun-fights andrealistic graphics that immerse you. It features other multiplayer game modes and maps too in order to keep the formula fresh.

The game’s much more serious compared toCall of Duty: Mobile, but lacks the kind of content and polish its predecessor accumulated over years of development time. Despite that, Warzone Mobile is easily one of the best battle royale experiences on Android devices.

A continuation of the world created byPUBG, New State Mobile is more or less the same game but with better graphics and a new map. The gameplay’s just as hectic albeit modernized, and features more or less the same modes you’d find onPUBG Mobile.

The sounds are better, and the game constantly receives timely updates to balance everything out. It’s a solid FPS experience for players that are more comfortable with that perspective, you may easily switch between matches.
