Introduction
Call of Duty will be around forever, and you can see that as a good thing or a bad thing. Competitive shooters make up a huge part of the online gaming market and are a key reason why eSports exist in the first place. While the Call of Duty series may not have exploded the imagination in recent years, it continues to deliver games with decent gameplay, beautiful graphics, and fast and balanced (for the most part) matchmaking. But let’s say you don’t have a computer that supports the latest version, what will you do?
So, all you need is a powerful device and a good connection to play the game. However, over time, you will feel the urge to break out of the Call of Duty shooter bubble and look for something else. Maybe you want new challenges, meet new people or just see something new. You’re in luck, as the FPS genre remains popular on mobile devices, and here are some top-rated games sharing the stage with Call of Duty.
1. Free Fire MAX
Available on: iOS + Android
Genre: Action, Shooter
We’ve come to the first third-person game on the list, which is still all about tactical gunfights, but gives you more freedom to move and strategize. Garena International is working on a competitive shooter that’s more about community than conflict. The environment is full of elements, as well as a voting mechanic to choose what strange things can happen during the game. You also have different characters to choose from, each with different styles and abilities to use in battle. Enter the arena and fight to be the last one standing before time runs out.
2. Modern Ops
Available on: iOS + Android
Genre: Action, Shooter
Modern Ops is the type of FPS where you look at all the weapons and think they could come out of a cereal box. This means that the weapon skins are incredibly colorful and vibrant, as well as a host of other unusual weapon types. The team at Edkon Games GmbH does not put avatar customization on the cover, but focuses on weapons, which is quite logical, because it is what you will be looking at most of the time. However, you will engage in quick and random battles in different environments to try and take down your opponents. It’s fast, light, and has plenty of conventional and less conventional weapons to use.
3. Arena Breakout
Available on: iOS + Android
Genre: Action
It surprises me when the word “realistic” appears in game descriptions, because they are supposed to provide escapism, but those who love Call Of Duty may want to feel like real soldiers. That’s why Arena Breakout tries to create a scenario that aims to use realistic shooting in a war-like situation. You will enter the world provided by Level Infinite and join one of several factions before fighting for their glory. This usually involves entering an urban environment, taking out enemy soldiers, and then escaping with all the loot you can bring to the hideout.
4. Tacticool
Available on: iOS + Android
Genre Action, Multiplayer, Shooter
With a name like Tacticool, it’s hard to take this game seriously, and maybe that’s the point. Panzerdog is a military shooter that feels more like a derivative action game than a realistic depiction of the horrors of war. You can make your characters look like the stereotypical muscular tough guy in sunglasses or some weirdo in a helmet and shiny jumpsuit. No matter what you look like, your goal is the same – to become the best soldier. You have access to a traditional arsenal with a wide selection of tools and support items to hand out to your team. You can lead them against teams of other players, accept a game challenge or even lead the fight against a good old zombie horde.
5. Fire Strike
Available on: iOS + Android
Genre: Action, Shooter
Another FPS with a more colorful approach, where you will also fight for the faction of your choice. You’ll be customizing your weapons to unleash your creative energy before venturing out into a desolate but still surprisingly clean area to battle other soldiers. It’s not just about killing, it’s about learning the rules of the game and the layout of the cards to increase your chances of survival. You can upgrade your weapons to feel safer in firefights, carry grenades for more tactical options, and travel the world to locations of past conflicts. Better and more varied gear can help, but it’s all up to you.
6. Battle Prime
Available on: iOS + Android
Genre: 3D, Action, Shooter
Prime is one of those words that triggers something in our brain that grabs our attention and sometimes makes us want it. While watching Battle Prime, you might be wondering what makes the battle so interesting, and I’m here to tell you. You are entering another digital war zone from the Press Fire Games Limited team, where you are the main character. Namely, a soldier who wears and uses what he thinks will give him an advantage in battle. These can be traditional military units or more stylish modern fighters who fight on the move. It’s also more of a team game with small six-on-six matches that allow you to appreciate more detailed environments.
