10 Best First Person Shooter Games for Android

Modern Combat 5: Blackout

The fifth installment of one of the most popular shooter games for Android has to be near the top of our list, and that's Modern Combat 5: Blackout developed by Gameloft. It's also completely free now after dropping the $4.99 price tag. It does rely a lot on an internet connection though. 

MC5 features some of the best graphics to date on mobile, stunning gameplay, tons of action, and plenty of grenades to throw. With Modern Combat, you get an excellent and exciting fast-paced storyline for campaign mode. Basically, the world is on the brink of anarchy and you must fight through it. Then it has an excellent multiplayer mode where you can build your own squad of killers, and five different classes to level up. 

The Spec-Ops missions are extremely fun too, and great for wasting time. Not only does this game have great graphics and music, the voice-overs are real actors and makes it feel very realistic. This game is a must download, especially those with a controller or NVIDIA Shield. 

Dead Trigger 2 Dead Trigger 2 is one of the most popular Android FPS games to date, and with good reason. The gameplay is addicting, the graphics are simply unmatched, and are even better on NVIDIA-powered devices. You'll love the lifelike physics, active lighting, and exceptional detail. With 40 million people left on the planet and killer zombies walking the street you'll have an arsenal of high-powered weapons to fight off the hoards. You can unlock additional weapons, like a chainsaw or Gatling gun, or buy weapons with real money if you're impatient. With an evolving storyline and continuously being updated with more content, this is one of the best games to download. It's also one I show off to friends or family to showcase Android gaming graphics. Be careful though, it can be so addicting you'll find yourself spending money on more weapons. The developers have a new game called "Unkilled" worth considering too.  NOVA 3: Freedom Edition Gameloft makes some of the best Android games, and NOVA 3: Freedom Edition is one of them. Where Modern Combat is similar to COD, NOVA 3 is a blend of Halo and the popular PC game Crysis, but for Android smartphones and tablets. Fight enemies using some of the latest generation combat suits and save mankind in this epic game. NOVA 3 is a few years old, but earlier this year NOVA 3: Freedom Edition was released with no in-app purchases and completely free. Only there are the occasion ads to make up the difference. So now you have no reason not to download it.  While it's getting a little old in the tooth, it still has stunning graphics, intense shooter action, and a great storyline. Not to mention tons of weapons and seven multiplayer modes with up to 12 players for some of the best multiplayer action around. Give it a try today. Unkilled Unkilled is hands-down the best-looking zombie shooter for Android, especially when played on NVIDIA devices. The graphics are life-like and real. Everything from reflections, shadows, explosions and more. It's amazing how detailed they've managed to make this game. With over 300 missions and tons of zombies to shoot you'll be busy for hours.  It also uses some of the best high-resolution graphics and shadows around and improved controls for easier use on a mobile device. The developers worked closely with NVIDIA to improve graphics, reflections, and shadows for this title. It also plays great on the SHIELD Android console.  Deer Hunter 2016 Switching things up here, with Deer Hunter 2016 you'll be looking for that huge 8-10 point Buck or Elk while wandering through mother nature and setting up a hunting station. There are no zombies, aliens, or enemies in this game, but it's an exciting and realistic shooter for Android carried over from the popular PC series. You can hunt exotic animals from all over the world with an array of high-powered rifles and bows. Not to mention the graphics ae surprisingly great on this game too.  The brand new Deer Hunter 2016 is better than ever and is very realistic. I was so impressed when I first tried it, that I played for over an hour. This title has more "big game" animals than most, and the graphics simply can't be beaten. Call of Duty: Strike Team Near the end of 2013 Activision finally figured out they could continue the COD franchise to Android and did exactly that with Strike Team. It may not be as good as Modern Combat, but it's one of the better FPS games for Android, still to this day. Sadly this game is $6.99 AND has in-game purchases, but is extremely fun, packed with action, and fast-paced.  This is a first and 3rd person COD experience built from the ground-up for mobile devices. You'll be leading a Joint Special Operations Team in a global effort to save the world (in 2020) from massive war. The campaign mode is great, but it's the survival mode that will have you on the edge of your seat and tapping the screen of your Android device way harder than you should. Try it today or download some of the other Call of Duty Mobile games.  Zombie Gunship We're back to killing zombies but in a completely different approach to the other games mentioned above. In Zombie Gunship 3D (free edition) you'll be high in the sky away from the hoards of zombies, dropping heavy artillery and bombs to take out the undead and save millions of civilians. It isn't really an FPS, but close enough.  Users will be in a heavily-armed AC-130 ground attack aircraft, using weapons including 25mm Gatling gun, 40mm Bofors auto-cannon, and 105mm Howitzer cannon and 3D night vision to fight off enemies. All said and done it's a pretty exciting and fast-paced game, and linked to below is the free, ad-supported version of the game. Or you can pay for the game and have no ads. There's also a new version for 2017 we recommend trying too.  Fields of Battle Rather than hunting terrorists or shooting zombies, Fields of Battle employs a completely different approach. With this game, you're basically in a paintball match and will need to be sneaky and use tactical skills to complete your missions. Just like real paintball, this is a fast game with a one-hit elimination strategy. They claim it has ground-breaking motion and gesture based controls including sliding, diving, leaning out from cover, throwing grenades, and more to be the best FPS on Android. That might be a stretch, but it's a unique approach to FPS shooters that is both exciting and fun. The game is free but there are plenty of in-app purchases to get more weapons, hold more paintballs, load up on gear and more. It's more exciting than I expected, so give it a try.  Into The Dead With Into The Dead gamers will enjoy two of the most popular mobile games blend into one. That being an endless runner and a zombie first-person shooter. Into The Dead is extremely fast paced, challenging, scary, and exciting all at the same time. You never stop moving and are tasked with fighting off thousands of the undead walking around fields. Collect health, power-ups, ammo and more while weaving in and out of obstacles, zombies, fences and more. It gets harder the further you run, like all endless runners, but you'll be shooting your way to victory. The intense visuals and realistic sound effects separate this game from most of the others on this list and make it a must try this summer. Modern Combat 4: Zero Hour Last but not least has to be another from Gameloft, which is Modern Combat 4: Zero Hour. This was the first game I played on Android that truly felt near console-quality, and made me want to pick up a gamepad or the NVIDIA Shield. Modern Combat 4 is so similar to Call of Duty it should be illegal. At the same time, there's no denying it is extremely fun, addicting, has excellent graphics, tons of sweet weapons, and will give you hours of entertainment. The dramatic storyline takes you on a crazy solo mission where the world is on the brink of warfare. The graphics and visual effects are two of the best aspects of this game. You'll also enjoy "built-for-mobile" controls, and the multiplayer mode is pretty exciting too. The graphics aren't as good as MC5, but still, shows just how good games can be on Android smartphones and tablets. If you go through all the games above, give Modern Combat 4: Zero Hour a try. A few honorary mentions are Brothers in Arms, Bullet Force, Robocop, Critical Ops (C-OPS) NOVA 3, and Sniper Fury. Or, those who want a TITANFALL like experience, try Walking War Robot. Another favorite of mine is Neon Shadow. Just try it, you'll be glad you did. Last but not least, download Guns of Boom for real-time multiple FPS action.
