Not everyone at home has a powerful computer on which you can sit down in various client shooters. And for such people there is a way out - browser games. This article contains a rating of the best free browser shooters that can be a replacement for "heavy" online projects.
General information
Such games, in addition to weighing almost nothing, also have unimaginably low system requirements. You do not need to install them, you just need to the basic data through the browser, and therefore you should make sure that you have a good Internet connection. The style and plot of each such project is different, which allows you to find the right option.
Mad gunz
Mad gunz - Oone of the browser-based online shooters. Distributed for free, you can play through a social network "In with".
The project is dedicated to getting through a special portal in the refrigerator into an alternative world full of different fairy-tale characters. Everyone clashes in three possible modes: Deathmatch - where every man is for himself, Capture the Flag - where teams must take someone else's flag and save their own, as well as Royal Battle, or Royal Battle.
In this game, the graphics turned out to be quite cartoonish, in the manner of Minecraft. "Square" allows you to somewhat reduce the system requirements for a PC and, accordingly, increase the audience of gamers.
The variability in the choice of weapons is large enough for a browser shooter, so it will be easy to choose what to take with you for offense and defense.
Despite the "frivolity", it will captivate very young guys. For older people, it may seem too childish. In of its dynamics, interestingly, this browser game is still far from such legendary projects as Counter-Strike, Quake и Unreal. At the same time, you definitely can’t call it too slow.
Contra City
Another popular browser free-to-play online shooter. A great option for those who are bored both at home and at work. Excellent, albeit simple graphics make the gameplay enjoyable. Physics, however, is implemented very poorly, but is it really necessary from a browser game that should work for everyone who has even a weak computer?
By the way, about the gameplay. It resembles most client-based online FPS. The closest analogue Counter-Strike.
Contra City offers three different modes that have become classics: Deathmatch where it's every man for himself Team Deathmatch - in which one team opposes the other, as well as Capture The Flag - assuming the preservation of the flag of one's "team" and the capture of someone else's.
The game is quite well developed, since in the arsenal of weapons you can find trunks that are purchased only by donation. You can also take character skins that give a unique look.
The project is distinguished by the presence of a system of achievements, which has only one task - to track progress. Among competitors, few can be proud of this.
If you want a simple and not tense “roller”, then you can take a closer look at Contra City.
code of war
Online shooter code of war, offering a third-person view, can attract its audience with several features. Firstly, a good physical model is implemented here, so the game feels relatively real. Secondly, there is good ballistics here, which makes the behavior of the weapon when firing more believable.
It is distinguished by a variety of firearms, where for each type a lot of colorings and drawings are offered to change the external component. In addition, this browser shooter has fighter leveling system. You can level up with in-game currency.
The battles take place on three-dimensional maps, distinguished by a good drawing and the presence of a large number of objects on them. This adds depth, and allows you to increase the tactical component. Everything in this game is implemented very high quality. As for replay value, the situation is twofold.
Begone
Next on our list - Begone, which is quite interesting and at the same time a free representative of the Shooter genre. The project is somewhat reminiscent of Counter-Strike, but it still has some features from such a tactical series of games as Rainbow Six.
It offers extensive maps, in which industrial zones are found on a par with wastelands and other places. To be able to run on any, even the weakest PC, the developers went to reduce the graphics detail.
The player is free to choose between two factions - American special forces SWAT or a terrorist organization militia. There is no plot as such. It's just a fight between special forces and terrorists.
The gameplay is implemented much better than most shooters, because here the developers put realism at the forefront of everything. It is thanks to this decision that the game attracts fans to relax and shoot in the evenings after work. The way the weapon behaves during the battle, the damage system when hitting the enemy - all this makes the gameplay more realistic, despite the average graphics, which is justified by the need to run any PC or laptop in the browser.
CS Online
CS Online - the cult Counter-Strike 1.6, which everyone ed to the computer and installed for themselves many years ago, can now be found as a browser game. Everything has been ported almost unchanged, which will undoubtedly please those who once upon a time devoted a lot of free time to this game.
Everything is in place: two teams - Counter-Terrorists and Terrorists, most of the maps (there are definitely Assault and Dust 2 here), all weapons ("Elephant", "Fly", "Rooster" and many others). Familiar mechanics and tricks - they all also remain.
The project was made on a special engine Xash3D FWGS Engine, which ensured the preservation of physics and game mechanics, as well as graphics. In addition, the transfer to this engine provided a good optimization for a browser-based online shooter, which is important for such a dynamic genre.
Cube Madness 3D
Now consider another sister of Minecraft in of graphics from domestic developers - Cube Madness 3D. In this game, you find yourself in a world similar to Minecraft purely visually, and fight there with the walking dead (or zombies, as you like).
The uniqueness lies in several features:
- Possibility of customization by buying and putting on costumes and masks.
- A huge number of different firearms.
- Use of explosives in addition to firearms.
- Destructibility of the map. To protect against the enemy, you can specifically break something on the map.
- Construction elements. Of course, this game cannot be compared with Minecraft in of building objects, but relatively simple structures can still be created.
Cube Madness 3D offers two modes: cooperative - where people fight against computer "dummies" in the form of zombies, and multiplayer, or pure PvP - where some people fight against others. The latter option offers a lot of all sorts of internal modes, among which are the classic Deathmatch (for itself), Team Deathmatch (normal team-to-team battle), as well as Domination (holding control points).
This game offers a new experience due to the large number of unique features. It will especially appeal to s who know and love Minecraft.
Dino Storm
Dino Storm among everyone on this list stands out strongly. Just look at the screenshot above and everything will immediately become clear. Yes, yes, the player is offered the role of a cowboy who decides to saddle instead of a horse DINOSAUR! The task is to become the best sheriff.
The plot line already seems absurd. But this is what allows the game to stand out among others, because no other can offer instead of killing dinosaurs - taming and saddling them.
Completing tasks, fighting robbers of various strengths, as well as wild or tamed dinosaurs, interacting with other people, the player increases his level, upgrades his character, upgrades weapons and raises pets.
The madness that is happening on the screen will not be forgotten for a long time. But this game is a perfect example of the combination of a well-developed world and humor. It can be run in a browser on any computer.
warscrap
Now consider the shooter warscrap. There is absolutely no Russian localization. For this reason, one has to be content with the English language.
At the same time, the game still turns out to be as simple as possible in understanding, which eliminates the disadvantage in the form of a lack of translation. The presence of hints helps to navigate at the beginning, when the session has just been launched.
The graphics are a bit cartoonish., but this allows you to reduce system requirements. This decision of game designers makes it possible to significantly expand the audience, which is important for a free browser game.
There is no plot as such. You are simply thrown into the thick of the battle. Opponents are NPCs in the form of aliens, as well as other players. To combat them, a large number of various firearms are provided, even if at the start there will be only one gun in your hands. Others can be found in shops, where you need to pay for them with the currency that is earned during the battles.
All in all, this game is pretty good. She has spacious locations, on the territory of which you can move not only on foot, but also using various vehicles. If you wish, you can participate in massive battles, where teamwork is of high importance. Many young guys will like the project, and especially those who love Fortnite.
Global-Strike
Global-Strike - a pretty good quality online shooter. Much like the client version Counter-Strike 1.6. You can even see it in the title: Global Strike and Counter-Strike. In some places it is also similar to another online game from the South Korean company Smilegate - Cross Fire!
Despite its rustic graphics, it can offer quite an interesting experience. Hurricane firefights, a large arsenal of weapons - all this allows you to find something of your own and play the way you get.
In addition to fighting with other people, you can play in a cooperative mode against zombies. To practice skills, it is enough to start the training mode. Its presence distinguishes this game from other browser-based shooters.
Works in any browserdoes not require many resources. At the same time, Global Strike boasts 60 frames per second, which indicates good optimization.
Time of Dragons
Time of Dragons - quite an interesting browser action. Combines elements of fantasy and steampunk.
The plot is simple. You - adopiant, which means that you are able to ride large mythical creatures - dragons. But they are not simple, but armed with various lasers, missiles and other weapons.
Having saddled a powerful creature and having chosen the necessary weapons, riders can search for opponents in various modes. Most can be found on standard deathmatch and team deathmatch. During battles, players actively use mana, which is spent on activating weapons, so mana management is quite an important point.
There are many dragons. All of them differ not only in size (there are small, medium and large), but also in characteristics (some are faster, but weaker, and some are slower, but more powerful). Everyone can find something suitable for their playing style.
In between matches, you can develop your settlement and trade with others. That is, in addition to battles, there is an element of strategy and management. In general, Time of Dragons is a pretty good project to spend your free time on.
There is also a client version in Steam.
Ground war tanks
Ground war tanks is a close copy of the client game about tanks from the Belarusian company Wargaming - World of Tanks.
It is a combination of arcade, MMO and action. It is she who can be considered the best tank game in the browser, compared with the same Tanki Online and others.
Attracts the audience with its relative realism, which consists in the use of equipment that participated in the battles of the First and Second World Wars. A separate nice feature was the possibility of improving the tank to increase its technical characteristics.
Graphics came out a bit rustic, but it is not as important as the gameplay itself. And he turned out pretty good. The registration of hits is accurate, so it is important who hit first and where exactly.
In general, everything that is possible in the client version Tanks from Belarusians, there is here - in Ground War Tanks. Therefore, for those who are familiar with World of Tanks, such a game may well “go in”.
Build and Crush
Another shooter in Minecraft style - Build and Crush. The name itself implies that the player can not only create something, but also destroy.
This is confirmed by the modes that can be found:
- Building. Here only to create objects of various complexity, starting with a step and ending with small houses.
- Destruction. It is the reverse of the construction mode. Here you can use a variety of weapons to "annihilate" objects.
- Multiplayer game. Combining the previous two in one. In addition, here you can fight against zombie bots or against each other.
Replay value is increased due to these same modes and tools in the form of weapons and building objects for the construction of structures. Variation, depth in the form of building and destruction of everything, and simplicity in of graphics - all this can attract young players who are not too familiar with Minecraft.
Crazy Shooters 2
Crazy Shooters 2 is an example of a classic browser game. Minimum graphics, only two modes (DM and TDM), as well as the spaciousness of the zone with a small number of objects to reduce the load on the computer.
This shooter offers a wide variety of weapons, among which grenade launchers are held in high esteem. The gameplay is as simple as possible - shoot at everything that moves. For an evening or two, this game may be of interest, but no more.
1v1 LoL
1v1 LoL created by developers who were inspired by the extremely popular Fortnite.
Despite the relatively loud name, battles take place in several formats:
- 1 on 1;
- 2 on 2;
- 4 on 4;
- battle royale (up to 10 people can participate in it).
All these modes, thanks to optimization, play pretty well. You can provide up to 60 frames per second, which indicates good work on the engine. In general, if you want to understand whether you will like Fortnite, whether it is worth ing at all, you can try 1v1 LoL. Not everyone wants to dive into it on an ongoing basis.
Mini Royale 2
As the name suggests, in Mini Royale 2 players are faced with the intersection of the online shooter and battle royale genres. Withstand project up to ten people in one server.
This game is an example of a pretty good network code. With it, the performance of the browser action turned out to be quite high, which is important when Low-budget builds. Matches last about five to seven minutes. This attracts those who stop by after work to play a little on their PC. Character customization is possible.
Tanks online
Tanks online - a sensational MMO action game that claimed the title of the best browser game about tanks.
Graphics, we it right away, you can’t call modern in any way. Rather, it can be said that it is extremely outdated. Because of her, it’s not even clear whether the tanks are real or fantastic.
Surprisingly, despite this, many s have played and / or still play it. The reason, perhaps, is the gameplay, which turned out to be simple and straightforward. In addition, the project does not "load" the computer at all.
Matches are searched quickly, which is quite important for those who decide to sit down after a hard day's work and do not want to waste time searching. This is the game for which it is absolutely not a pity to allocate an evening or two or even more. But if you need a more "graphic" version, then it's better to take a closer look at Ground War Tanks.
REPULS
A rather strange shooter among others on this list is REPULS. Judging by the screenshot, the developers decided not to strain too hard with the graphics, so there are a lot of angular objects here.
This MMO game offers classic deathmatch mode and nothing else. Not too wide a choice of weapons (pistol, shotgun, two types of rifles, as well as grenades) and at the same time a sufficient number of arenas.
PUBG Pixel
Want to find a browser-based battle royale? Then take a look at PUBG Pixel, which was built on a fairly powerful and at the same time simple engine for a computer called Unity. When creating, the developers were clearly inspired by two cult games - Minecraft and PUBG.
There is no plot here. Players simply parachute, land at desired locations, collect loot, and start surviving. Whoever survives in the end wins. In general, as in any other royal battle.
The game does not bring anything new to this genre - the scheme used is already well developed. The graphics are as simple as possible, but the optimization is not bad. You can pay attention to this project if the other options are boring.
Best Combat Arena 2020
Best Combat Arena 2020 - online againshooter in Minecraft style. There is no plot, as in other games with cubic graphics. Players simply appear in the arena, choose their weapons, and then start the battle with the bots. If there are zombies, then with them. You can also fight with each other. The project cannot boast of the depth of development and diversity, so the fate of this game is to spend an evening or two, no more.
World of Machines
In a shooter Machine World the player finds himself in a post-apocalyptic world in a huge machine that fights with others of the same size, using various weapons for this. Interestingly, it is made in 5D and built on HTMLXNUMX. This allows you to greatly reduce the requirements for the computer. And for convenience and less complicated rendering, everything was done from the third person, and not from the first.
You can highlight the variety of maps and combat vehicles that are allowed to drive. There are four models in total:
- Sharp. The class is a hunter. More or less balanced in of HP and speed.
- Epsilon. The class is scout. Speed bias, less health.
- Fusion. Class - . Less life and speed.
- Harbor. Class - tank. More life, less speed.
The graphics turned out to be quite interesting, the handling is good, and the performance is high. This game is a good option for those people who want to relax, but do not have a powerful computer for this.
