As a member of an elite special ops task force, stare into your rifle scope and eliminate your targets in various missions and scenic locations around the globe.
While it's brought down by its microtransactions, Hothead Games' Kill Shot remains a great FPS title with a playscore of 7.97.
17. Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath
Developed by Oddworld Inhabitants, Oddworld: Stranger’s Wrath garnered high praise when it was first released on the PC, PS4, and PS Vita. Which means this android had some big shoes to fill. It's a hybrid of third-person and first-person gameplay and its action and adventures begin in an odd Wild West besieged by outlaws.

It's almost the same award-winning action-adventuring on the PC and consoles, with a few adjustments for the touch controls. It has a playscore of 8.06.

14. Modern Combat 5: eSports FPS
Branding itself as a viable eSports title, Modern Combat 5's strength is rooted in its multiplayer gameplay. As usual, Gameloft takes pages right out of Call of Duty's playbook, offering the world a mobile alternative that's worthy of its past-gen console counterparts. It doesn't do much in terms of innovation but it delivers what it set out to do: letting you play Deathmatches and Capture the Flags with your squad whenever, and wherever you go.
It has a playscore of 8.1
13. DEAD TRIGGER
Madfinger Games' original Dead Trigger isn't perfect. The second installment may still be the more refined choice, this first outing, despite some clunkiness in their controls, has more than enough zombie-shooting action for a few hours of enjoyment.
Rain bullets on the ensuing hordes of undead and get some satisfaction out of every splash of zombie noggin. Definitely not as heavy on smartphones as it used to be, Dead Trigger gets a playscore of 8.24

Not having actual trigger fingers hasn't stopped these guys yet. RiliSoft's Pixel Gun 3D takes on the visuals of Minecraft, making it just as enjoyable for all ages as Mojang's original sandbox title. It also expands on Minecraft's survival gameplay with a story campaign that challenges you to survive a zombie outbreak.

A creative pixel shooter, it gets a score of 8.27.
9. UNKILLED
Unkilled signs you up for the elite military organization called the Wolfpack that's specially trained to eliminate zombie threats.

It's something for fans of the Walking Dead series and it has a playscore of 8.33.
7. Half-Life 2
A game that needs no introduction. Far from its origins as THE benchmark for first-person shooters in 2004, Valve's Half Life 2 remains an essential and venerated classic in the genre.
Made exclusively for Nvidia's Shield tech, it's a no brainer for anyone who already has the console. With this port to the android, some graphical concessions have been made to maintain performance in the portable format. But it's still the same Half-Life 2 that most of us have played over and over again, more than a decade ago.
A playscore of 8.36.
6. Hitman: Sniper
Agent 47 holds a specialized position for this mobile Hitman title from Square Enix. For this Sniper game, it's not enough to find your targets and then shoot.

4. Guns of Boom - Online Shooter
The game name doesn't exactly slide off the tongue, Game Insight's Guns of Boom has enough personality to let it shine past its moniker. While it looks similar to Gameloft's Blitz Brigade, it proves itself as more than just a glorified clone on the mobile. Unlike the other, Guns of Boom is a smooth and intuitive FPS experience.
Shining with the polish of gameplay, it's visuals and characters are also a plus. Take their many personalities to the arena and duke it out epic 4 versus 4 online skirmishes. Undoubtedly the slickest multiplayer FPS yet, with a score of 8.51.

One of the most realistic shooting games 3 years on, it has a playscore of 8.8.
