The best shooters for solo play

DEAD TRIGGER 2

And we will start with perhaps one of the most beautiful zombie shooter games. Released in 2013 and has passed since then a whole series of patches that improve the graphics, it has legitimately become one of the most, if not the most elaborate game in terms of graphics.

Few places can find such high-quality and elaborate textures, and such things as the presence of reflections on the wrench and the careful drawing of the falling water add a certain charm to this game.

You don't really have to rely on the plot, moving from mission to mission you will need to constantly save survivors and try not to die yourself. In general, this is not the main thing in this genre.

What's really important is the gameplay. Since shooting is rather difficult to adapt for a smartphone, the developers decided to do it instead of the player. To shoot, you just need to aim the weapon at the zombies, and the game algorithm itself will pull the trigger. To some, this may seem like excessive cheating, simplifying the game, but the game mechanics are built in such a way that towards the end, it will be fully justified due to the huge crowds of enemies.

The situation is controversial with donat. Since the game is shareware, the developers will gradually increase the difficulty, persistently asking you to buy something useful for yourself in the play store, because it can be quite problematic to complete the last levels without pouring money.

Each collision with the enemy results in a real fireworks display of flashes, explosions and other luminescence. The special effects are so vivid that people with epilepsy should definitely refrain from playing it.

In addition to them, it will not work for those who are not ready to pay $ 9.99 for it or 600 rubles for the Russian segment. Yes, the game is paid, but buying it for such a modest amount, you once and for all save yourself from annoying ads and in-game payments.

Best multiplayer games

PUBG

Speaking of multiplayer games, it's a sin not to mention the sensational Player Unknown's Battle Ground. Making a splash on the PC, the developers adapted it for mobile devices.

The principle of the game is very simple: Players land in different parts of the battlefield, after which they immediately become enemies who need to destroy each other in order to subsequently remain the only survivor.

In houses and other structures, you can find various weapons and ammunition that will help you survive battles with opponents. In addition, you can find vehicles for more comfortable and faster movement, which, among other things, can be turned into a weapon of mass genocide, crushing enemies one after another.

Having landed on the battlefield, you have absolutely nothing in your hands, but you should not worry about it, weapons and other important things for survival are scattered throughout the map in huge quantities, so it will not be difficult to find them.

Meanwhile, the space on the map is gradually decreasing, pulling enemies closer and closer to each other. This decision is intended to increase the dynamics of the game, which she does very well, forcing him to constantly change the point of deployment.

The game is free and contains various in-game currencies that can be bought for real money or earned in fair battles.

Various cosmetic improvements are purchased for donation, of which there are a great many. They allow you to turn your character into almost anyone and at the same time do not affect the gameplay itself in any way.

Also, this game is very popular with phone reviewers who use it to test the performance of the processor and graphics chip, since the application is very demanding on system resources, which forces the processor to work at its maximum capabilities.

Advantages and disadvantages

• Dynamic combat and interesting gameplay style;
• Nice graphics and textures;
• The in-game donation does not affect the balance of the game in any way, since you can only buy cosmetic improvements for it;

• High system requirements.

Modern combat versus

An incredibly beautiful futuristic action game designed exclusively for co-op. There are several types of battles: 4x4 battles and seizure of territory.

When capturing a territory, you need to defend one point, shooting the enemy trying to capture it. In 4x4 battles, two teams of 4 people each run across one large map, trying to kill as many enemies as possible in the allotted time.

The game has more than 20 characters with different fighting styles and talents, most of which must be unlocked by winning fights and getting trophies and credits.

The interest of the game is added by the character leveling system, which differs depending on the selected hero. But they are united by the presence of three or four branches of development, which increase damage, health or improve special abilities. Leveling up occurs for experience gained in battles, and when a new level is reached, you can spend one improvement point for pumping.

The game can be downloaded for free on Google play or the App store, but there is an incredible amount of purchases available through the online store.Even if they do not affect the gameplay, they can still introduce some imbalance.

On the whole, the game is very addictive and terribly dynamic, since the matches last for a fairly short time and there is very little space on the map, even if we are talking about deathmatch mode, there is also a good reward system and after a battle you will always get something.

Advantages and disadvantages

• Juicy and bright graphics;
• Fun and addictive gameplay;
• A large number of opportunities for pumping characters, as well as buying new ones.

• High quality graphics requires a lot of processor power;
• Donate creates an impact on the balance of the game, although it is very limited.

SHADOWGUN: DEADZONE

A stand-alone game based on the single-player shooter Shadowgun with the same setting and characters, but designed exclusively for multiplayer.

The action in the original shadowgun took place in the distant future, where you had to kill various mutants in futuristic locations, gradually advancing through the plot.

Here, the developers decided to arrange a deadly battle between the characters from the original game.

There are 2 factions in the game: People and mutants. It doesn't matter which one you fight for, because the character classes of both factions are the same. This is an attack aircraft with a shotgun, a sniper, an engineer with the ability to install automatic turrets and a soldier focused on the use of heavy weapons such as grenade launchers.

The hero can carry three types of weapons at the same time, which allows the use of various tactics of combat. He can also use various enhancements that are equipped before the battle in a special cell and other ammunition such as first-aid kits and grenades.

The competition takes place on a really huge map in the Death match format, where all players just have to kill as many players from the enemy team as possible. Sometimes this is accompanied by the need to capture points.

The game has a donation for which you can buy skins and cosmetic improvements.

Advantages and disadvantages

• Interesting gameplay with a sea of ​​possibilities and variability of tactics;
• Nice graphics and good textures;
• Large selection of weapons and classes.

• Players complain about the unbalanced system of matching enemies and allies, which forces newcomers to play with experienced players;
• Inconvenient controls that take getting used to.

Shooter of war

If you've dreamed of a mobile version of Overwatch, then check out this game. It was created based on Heroes of Warfare from the Chinese studio Network Co., Ltd, which was closed due to plagiarism charges from Ilizzard. Nevertheless, Shooter of War is alive and well.

The developers did a good job of copying the Overwatch gameplay style. There are now 14 heroes available to play, each with their own unique skills and playstyle.

Moreover, the game contains not only combat classes such as a tank, attack aircraft, assassin or sniper, but also characters who help the team. Such as a healer or a buffer that heals or empowers characters.

The style of play itself is remarkable. Unlike other shooters, here you can not only run around the map, shooting the enemy, but also climb hills, fly or teleport. It all depends on the characteristics of the selected character. Moments like these can greatly diversify the game.

Despite the fact that a lot depends on personal skill, this is primarily a team game, where the correct distribution of roles often means even more than the personal skill of each individual player.

The formation of the team style is also facilitated by the fact that, basically, the goal of the game is to capture and hold points, which cannot be achieved alone.

The game is free, but there are in-game payments, but there is no division of the game currency into regular and donor currency. That is, in order to buy something in the game store, you do not need to pour real money into the game, you can get it for participating in battles.

For in-game currency, you can buy new characters, which are available for free in the trial mode, where you can evaluate their skills and decide whether to buy it later.

Money can also buy new costumes and equipment for the characters. All purchased skins change only the appearance of the hero and do not affect the gameplay in any way.

Advantages and disadvantages

• Many unique character classes, the game for each of which is very different and requires separate skills;
• Diverse movement mechanics provide huge room for maneuver;
• Loyal donation system.

• Bugs and crashes are very annoying for a huge number of users, but from patch to patch they become less and less;
• Problems with localization from Chinese.

Modern shooters for smartphones can distract the user from reality for a long time, the only question is which game is more to their liking and whether they are ready to invest in the success of the gaming event.
