Shooting games (also known as shooters or shooter games) are among the most popular games on every platform. No matter where you go, you can find an awesome shooter to pick up and go mow down some bad guys. Android is no different. Here are the best Android shooting games available right now!
Call of Duty: Strike Team
[Price: $6.99 with in app purchases]
It just wouldn’t be a best shooting games list without a Call of Duty entry somewhere. Strike Team came out earlier this year to mixed initial reviews but has since found its stride with gamers. It has your standard first-person action and then there are parts where it zooms out and you play third-person for a little while. It’s $6.99 which is roughly the going rate for a FPS on Android. It has good graphics, a decent amount of content, and people seem to really like the mobile Call of Duty.
Dead Trigger 1 and 2
[Price: Free with in app purchases]
Dead Trigger 1 and 2 are iconic first person shooters that are all about mowing down the zombies. The franchise is incredibly popular and millions of people have played these titles. Dead Trigger 2 was released to positive reviews and it features some of the best graphics on the mobile platform. The thing is that Dead Trigger 1 is still pretty fantastic on the grand scheme of things so we decided to include them both. You really can’t go wrong wither way and they’re both free to play!
Deer Hunter 2014
[Price: Free with in app purchases]
Deer Hunter has always been a pretty popular game and the Android version is no different. In this title you assume the first person perspective and shoot a bunch of animals. The graphics are above average for a mobile game and it features a lot of scenarios, weapons, and animals to shoot. Some may not like the prospect of shooting animals but it is just a video game. It’s free to play so it own’t cost you anything to try it out.
Epoch
[Price: $2.78 with in app purchases]
Epoch is what is called a cover shooter (you often shoot from behind cover) and it’s also the first game on this list with a real story line. The graphics and story are both pretty good and there is enough jumping and shooting to keep you busy for a while. It’s also one of the few that have taken full advantage of the touch screen because you must swipe and tap your way pretty much everywhere and it’s not the same old joystick mechanics. It’s $2.78 which is actually cheaper than many of these games.
Fields of Battle
[Price: Free with in app purchases]
Fields of Battle has all of the hallmark features of a shooter. It has decent graphics, first person shooting, online multiplayer, and a bunch of other features. However, instead of shooting bullets at bad guys, you’re shooting paint balls. It also features some top notch customization and a lot of content for players to enjoy. It’s a great game and it’s also good for people who don’t want the blood and gore of a traditional shooter while still having all of the elements that make a shooter fun.
Gun Zombie: Hellgate
[Price: Free with in app purchases]
Gun Zombie: Hellgate may be the longest and largest shooter on the list. It features over 60 boss fights, 500 missions, and three game play modes. That includes endless mode where you just shoot down zombies and Boss Rush mode which is exactly what it sounds like. The graphics are everything you could want in a zombie game and it’s free to play (with in app purchases). What is it about killing zombies that is so much fun?
Into the Dead
[Price: Free with in app purchases]
Into the Dead mixes two very popular genres in the first person shooter and the infinite runner (like Temple Run). You play as a character who survived the zombie apocalypse and now must run for his/her life. You can pick up weapons like guns and chainsaws, mow down zombies, and it all happens in the first person perspective. However, you are also running forward forever and you must mow down the zombies in front of you. Otherwise you lose the game. It’s a fun premise even if it’s not a pure shooter and it is free to play.
Major Mayhem
[Price: Free with in app purchases]
Those looking for something a little more old school will probably like Major Mayhem. It’s side scrolling shooter where you must shoot bad guys in the background while you travel in the foreground. The graphics are colorful and fun even if they’re not as realistic as some of these other games. You’ll also get over 100 achievements to unlock, 45 missions, and four game modes. It’s free to play and currently has an astounding 4.7 rating in the Google Play Store.
Mass Effect Infiltrator (when it works)
[Price: $6.99 with in app purchases]
Next up is Mass Effect Infiltrator and this is really a very good game. It has similar graphics to the Mass Effect series on console and PC as well as similar game play so fans of the series will feel right at home. You can play the game, upload game data, and directly affect your Mass Effect 3 gaming experience which is also really awesome. The only problem is that it seems to be one of those games that either works perfectly or doesn’t work at all. We recommend that if you buy this title, make sure you test it out thoroughly within the refund time in case you need to get your money back. If it does work, this is a pretty spectacular game.
Modern Combat 4 and 5
[Price: $6.99 (each)]
The Modern Combat series didn’t start out that well but the last two iterations have been phenomenal. So phenomenal that they are considered iconic. Whether or not gamers prefer Modern Combat 4 or 5 more is solely dependent on their preferences so instead of recommending one, we’re recommending both. They both feature top-of-the-line first person shooter game play with a decent campaign mode. Modern Combat 5 has (predictably) better graphics and a more robust multiplayer experience. They’re both $6.99 but neither one has in app purchases.
N.O.V.A. 3 – Near Orbit
[Price: $6.99 with in app purchases]
N.O.V.A. 3 Near Orbit is another Gameloft game. In this one you join humanity as they try to take back Earth after years of exile. There are aliens, war, shooting (duh), and a bunch of weapons to choose from. There is also 12-player multiplayer that you can play in six game modes. The graphics are top notch and the solo campaign mode is pretty good also. Fans of space shooters will want to give this one a closer look.
Shadowgun: DeadZone (and the other Shadowgun games)
[Price: Free with in app purchases]
If you like the idea of a space shooter but want something that’s more gritty then Shadowgun: DeadZone may be for you. The game focuses mostly on online multiplayer and thanks to that it has one of the best online multiplayer experiences you can get. It’s free to play with in app purchases, it has pretty fantastic graphics, and it’s full of unlockable content. Don’t forget to check out the other Shadowgun games as well. They’re all pretty spectacular.
Zombie Gunship
[Price: Free with in app purchases]
Zombie Gunship is another unique premise of an old concept. You’ll be mowing down nearly endless hoards of zombies like you usually do in zombie games. However, instead of the usual methods, you’ll be manning a gun on a helicopter and mowing them down from the sky. It features a fun graphic layout that looks like you’re looking through a scope the whole time which is a nice touch. The point is that you’ll be providing safety for survivors while you shoot. You lose when they die. It’s free to play and it’s pretty fun.
Zombiewood
[Price: Free with in app purchases]
Zombiewood is last on our list and it’s also the most goofy shooter on it. In this third-person shooter you’ll be mowing down zombies in various “movies” which are really just nomenclature for levels. There are are a lot of playable characters and weapons to unlock and enjoy. The graphics and game play are lighthearted and fun. It’s free with in app purchases and there is more content added frequently. It also has things like leaderboards so you can see how well you stack up against friends.
