7 Arcade Shooters You Can Play for Free on VK Play
Let’s discuss simple and exciting games with action elements for both solo players and groups.
Accessible and undemanding arcade games with action elements are essential when you need a break from complex RPGs with an abundance of numbers or competitive shooters that require quick reflexes and precision.
Fortunately, in the VK Play catalog, there are plenty of vibrant, engaging, and straightforward action games. Some can be played not only on an old laptop but also on a smartphone during your metro ride. And the best part is that all the shooters mentioned below are available for free.
Tacticool
A cooperative shooter with spectacular and dynamic team battles of five players each. With over 70 types of weapons and 27 agents, 14 maps with varying weight. You can move around in fantastic combat vehicles, not only shooting but also smashing opponents.
Tacticool also offers a popular Battle Royale mode for 15 players and cooperative survival in the style of “last defense”: a team of three fighters against deadly hordes of zombies. With each wave, the zombies become stronger and stronger.
A nice addition to all this variety is realistic physics and many destructible objects on the maps.
Evolution 2: Battle for Utopia
Captain Blake lands on the planet Utopia, a former luxury resort now overrun by mutants, robots, and bandits. After undergoing experimental training, our hero gains superpowers and must now free the planet.
Evolution 2: Battle for Utopia is a shooter with continuous gameplay, elements of strategy, and role-playing. In addition to shooting in a post-apocalyptic, space action movie, and biopunk scenario, Captain Blake needs to develop his own base and upgrade a significant amount of weapons with varying levels of futurism. He also develops his hero and partner to deal with not only ordinary enemies but also unique bosses in the course of the campaign.

CrossFire
An old but still vibrant competitor to Counter-Strike. CrossFire even became the main discipline among esports shooters at the World Cyber Games. Now the game remains only in the VK Play catalog, so it’s a great opportunity to try the classic.
Impressive weapons – from pistols to high-caliber sniper rifles – competitive and cooperative modes against AI opponents, various maps, and tactical options. Overall, the game is an excellent territory to take on the roles of the Global Risk and Black List groups and often fight zombies or mutants. It includes a team survival mode against hordes.

POLYGON
One of the largest games in terms of the number of players to choose from. POLYGON offers competitive team battles of 16 fighters, with 32 people on the map, and all this on any system, even a very weak one, thanks to the flexible scalability of the Unreal Engine. And it has an unusual visual style for the genre, which also plays with the name.
Players have access to a variety of weapons and accessories, allowing them to customize their weapons to their playstyle.
War Robots
As a change, we enter the battle in the cockpit of a combat robot. Over eighty types of vehicles are available for selection, which can be customized with various modules and additional weapons. Depending on the map, mode, or playstyle, you can use efficient short-range and medium-range attack aircraft, fragile but long-range snipers, or walking fortresses with heavy weapons.
Social features that allow players to interact with each other. Both those who can’t fight without a friendly company and those who prefer to play alone will feel great. The world of the distant future stands out from the ordinary and somewhat boring shooters set in modern times or other post-apocalyptic scenarios.
War Ops
No collection or catalog can do without a World War II setting game. Fans of historical battles, known from local chronicles, authentic weapons from mid-20th-century operations have something to offer. But not in the usual “cartoony” style for thematic shooters. Sometimes you also need a break from realistic horror.
Your character, belonging to one of the countries involved in the conflict, can be customized with equipment paint and weapon choice. Sometimes the weapons look funny, but they have real prototypes from the era.
War Ops hosts weekly tournaments with valuable prizes, and there is an overall ranking of players by country, region, and city.
Striker Zone
Finally, an almost realistic shooter in a modern setting. In Striker Zone, the player is an elite soldier who earns a score in battles against the strongest fighters from around the world.
For efficient armed clashes, you will need to upgrade your weapons, armor, and skills. The game is great for solo players, but those who like to feel their partner’s shoulder in battle will be satisfied too. In Striker Zone, you can create clans – destroying enemies with friends is quite fun.
