N.O.V.A. 3: Freedom
N.O.V.A. 3 continues the story of the former commander of N.O.V.A. Cal Warden in the battles for San Francisco. The game is interspersed with cutscenes that tell the story in great detail, and perhaps for the sake of them you will return to N.O.V.A. 3.
You can play against computer enemy units, or you can play in multiplayer over a local Wi-Fi network or over the Internet. Gameloft has taken some action against cheaters by encouraging players to record and document their actions.
The game has responsive controls, aiming is facilitated by the aiming button, a great feature for those with big fingers. There are ads on the menu screens, as well as pop-up ads when you die – but nothing that a mobile gaming enthusiast cannot survive.

Hitman: Sniper
In Hitman: Sniper, you, Agent 47, find yourself with a sniper rifle near an estate with a bunch of rich people and their bodyguards, and among them is the target with the highest priority. You need to plan your actions and start cutting out enemies the way you see it right (at least in the crosshairs). Each mission has goals that bring additional money, which you can then spend on upgrading weapons and new rifles. In the case of a particularly successful passage, you can use a special function to share it with your friends.
The game is good in graphics and has excellent mechanics: you need to track moving enemies and take into account their sometimes unpredictable behavior. They will not shoot back, but they can hide and move around the map, helping to escape your main target. The controls in the game are simple and responsive, which means that adjusting the scope will not cost you much work. The soundtrack is awesome, especially when you miss and tweak some of the tones a couple of times. Voice acting by the standards of mobile games is also above average. This game will make your heart beat faster, especially since neither ads nor in-game purchases will distract you.

Modern Combat 5: Eclipse
Wait, is my phone turned into a console? Modern Combat 5: Eclipse is a first person shooter that gives you the feel of a real video game, while the action unfolds in the palm of your hand. It starts with an escape mission in Venice, then as the campaign progresses, Kaiden Phoenix fights raiders and the World Liberation Army in various parts of the planet. You can customize your soldier's gear and special abilities to suit your playstyle. As you level up, more options become available.
The gameplay is slick, the controls are easier than most shooters, mainly due to the fact that you can change all the settings, including the sound, controls and HUD. Modern Combat 5 has pretty good graphics for a mobile game. Without slowing down, it will go, for example, to LG G4.
New in Modern Combat 5 is the multiplayer PvP, in which there are five modes: Free for all, VIP, Squad battle, Capture the flag, Zone control and Team battle. So you can check how good you are in comparison with players around the world and move up the rankings. There is a minimum of advertising in the game, although there are some micro-transactions here.

Overkill 3
Overkill 3 is a third person shooter or rail shooter. Your task is to aim and kill the bad guys. Sounds too simple? In Overkill, you can choose the difficulty level before each boss fight, so that the upcoming one cannot be compared to the entry-level bad guys.
Before each mission, you can choose equipment in the arsenal, as well as unlock new weapons and equipment as you progress in the game. By completing specific tasks, you can earn stars – stars open more missions. A score at the end of each level will allow you to track your progress – never get confused.
The graphics are not as good as in other shooters, but Overkill 3 has a mode in which you can team up with a friend or a random player to pounce on enemies. Ads are few and far between, but in-app purchases are enough.

Unkilled
Unkilled is a real feast for those who like to kill zombies – a variety of enemies that must be destroyed using a variety of weapons. Some missions require certain types of weapons and devices, which means that you need to go to the arsenal for upgrades and purchases. Many upgrades and weapons are given to you as a reward for the levels – you will feel how achievements grow with each step.
The controls are simple, and the sensitivity is adjustable. The weapon fires automatically when you aim at a zombie, except in static missions, in which you aim and shoot using both thumbs.
There are two game modes available – campaign and skirmish, and multiplayer is likely to appear soon. In skirmish, you and your base confront other players and zombies. You can defend or go on the offensive, in any case, you gradually rise in the ranking, wasting bullets and blowing out brains.
There is little advertising, which cannot be said about in-app purchases.

Dead trigger 2
Dead Trigger 2 remains the quintessential zombie shooter in the mobile gaming world. Stunning graphics, despite the fact that the game is far from bestial seriousness. There are a lot of funny references and a lot of the most villainous villains that need to be dunked. This version is slightly different in that the players have their own hideout and a team that does all sorts of useful things for them. The controls are perfectly adapted for pressing with your fingers, and all you need is to move the crosshair over the zombie, the shooting will start automatically when you are in line with the target.
The game has a lot of missions, and in-game purchases have been reduced – the currency has been removed, so you can now buy and build anything and not spend anything.

Major mayhem
Major Mayhem is a quick and easy side-scrolling game where players tap on ninjas, secret agents, or anyone else the president has ordered to remove. The game has a bit of a girl storyline and all that, but you really just have to tap targets that pop out of cover.
It sounds primitive, but it's actually a great 'one bite game' with its cartoonish mood, cool story and tons of content to unlock.

Pew Pew 2
Pew Pew 2 is a classic retro-style shooter. And don't be fooled by the graphics, the game has cool visuals that make it not only a little insane, but also incredibly cool. New in Pew Pew 2 is a single player campaign that challenges you to navigate through mazes of levels. But most of all the pleasure is delivered by the countless game modes. You can also unlock new ships and modes as you progress.
No in-game purchases or ads were noticed – this will definitely please many players.

Ready steady bang
Sometimes less doesn't mean worse. Ready Steady Bang is a simple stylized duel in which the player must tap on their side of the screen when the countdown ends. The signal for a shot sounds at a random moment, so the wait often becomes unbearable. You don't need to aim – only speed and reaction are important. This is an old school western game with a minimalist style. You can fight against computer shooters, whose skills are improving, and open new screensavers with deaths. Or you can fight a friend in multiplayer.
And the best thing about this simple and fun game is the lack of in-app purchases and the need to fiddle with a long list of permissions during installation.

Zombiewood
Zombiewood is a silly shooter where you play as an ambitious stuntman in Hollywood … captured by a zombie. Together with the crazy director, you observe various scenes with the participation of disarmed zombies. You have to wade through the cliches of the movie, while mowing the zombies in batches.
Cool power-ups, weapons, and upgrades add flavor to all this madness. At the same time, the animation does not overload the device at all and does not make it slow down.

Gunman clive
Gunman Clive is a tribute to early 2D platformers about the mechanics and complexity of the NES. Run, jump and shoot as you help Clive overcome traps, solve riddles and fight enemy arrows. The controls are very similar to the NES with its D-pad and two-button interface – responsive and simple.
The eye, accustomed to bright modern graphics, may not cling to this monochrome picture. But it will be like not seeing a diamond in the dust. This game is not about graphics, but about addictive gameplay and excellent soundtrack. Get ready to lose track of time trying to complete the level.
Gunman Clive does not require permissions, does not contain in-game purchases and does not get you ads.
