Action and shooting games

About these action games

Action games reward quick reactions. This category brings together shooting games, from first-person shooters and sniper missions to tank battles, along with fighting games, stickman brawls, platformers, runners and longer adventures. Many let you earn upgrades as you play, while the enemies get tougher.

Some of these games include violence and a few are horror games, so not all of them suit younger players. Controls differ from game to game, and shooters are often easiest with a keyboard and mouse, so take a moment to learn them on the first level.
