Don’t you hate it when you want to play a free new Android game on your smartphone, but don’t have access to the internet? Sure, multiplayer Android games are a lot of fun, but they don’t work without an active internet connection. Well, don’t worry anymore because if you have been looking for some decent shooters for Android that also work offline then we’ve got you covered.
While all the free games on this list offer in-app purchases, they do not hamper your game progression in any way. You can buy things to upgrade and customize your arsenal, but it is not required. You can check the entire list by clicking on the table of content below.
1. N.O.V.A. Legacy
N.O.V.A. is one of the most popular offline shooter game franchises on Android and its latest N.O.V.A. Legacy game only strengthens its position as one of the best offline shooter games on the Play Store. The game picks up where the last game left off as you play as N.O.V.A. veteran Kal Wardin whose mission is to defeat the Colonial Administration forces. Apart from the normal game mode, N.O.V.A. Legacy is also introducing a new “Deathmatch” mode where you fight with other online players around the world.
I also love the new “Death cam” feature which allows you to see a third-person view of all the kills that you make. The gameplay remains the same and yet it still doesn’t feel aged. Finally, the new game still comes under 40 MB in size which is still something only the N.O.V.A. franchise has been able to pull off.

3. Max Payne Mobile
There’s a very low chance that you’re a fan of shooter games and haven’t heard of Max Payne. It’s one of my favorite classic games from my days on an old Pentium 3 PC.

I fell in love with the new first Major Mayhem game which brought a side-scroller shooter game where you get to shoot at everything that moves. The new “Major Mayhem 2” game builds upon its predecessor by bringing new missions where you will have hundreds of bad people to shoot and dozens of hostages to save.
The game brings 7 unique guns, each with its own shooting style so you never get bored. I love the colorful graphics which I am a fan of and its gameplay is more relaxing. This is a game you want to play when you don’t have the time and energy to create strategies. Just launch the game and start shooting.

7. Doom and Doom II
The Doom series of first-person shooter games is also one that you should check out. For me, playing Doom isn’t just fun, it’s also nostalgic, and the gameplay is just as good as the original title. The controls can be a little finicky to get used to, however. Both Doom and Doom 2 are titles that I would recommend you check out. Even Doom III is available for smartphones, but it does require an internet connection.
Coming back to the two games I’m recommending here, the concept is simple. You will find yourself running through hallways and rooms, using a variety of weapons to absolutely wreck demons. Beware that the game does have plenty of gore, so maybe don’t hand this one to young kids.

8. Dead Effect 2
Dead Effect 2 is an amazing shooter for Android that continues the legacy of its predecessor. The first Dead Effect was actually the first competent shooter on Android. Dead Effect 2 improves upon everything that Dead Effect brought to Android. You get to enjoy amazing graphics, a great story, and high-octane gameplay that will absorb you right in. The game offers a lot of content for you to enjoy. This horror-themed shooting game is the perfect way to kill your time.

10. Overkill 3
Overkill 3 is a fast-paced third-person shooter that guides you through different levels where you just have to find and shoot bad guys. This approach of guided levels is called being on rails. However, it only sounds simple; when you start the game you are presented with a difficulty level and the higher you choose the difficulty, the harder the game gets.
Especially when you are confronted by a boss, you will actually feel the heat. Boss battles are amazing and require a lot of quick reflexes to actually defeat the bosses. The graphics are quite amazing and Overkill 3 provides a great shooting experience for Android.
