Call of Duty: Mobile is a realistic shooter where you can play in a bunch of different game modes, like a 100-player battle royal mode, 5v5 team deathmatch modes, sniper vs sniper battle and more.

PUBG is quite similar to CoD, but instead of a 5v5 deathmatch, it’s a 4v4 deathmatch and there are zombie survival and payload modes as well. PUBG Mobile does have a 100-player battle royale if you are looking for that.

These different modes give you more variety in gameplay. PUBG is realistic and comes with lots of different weapon drops for you to find and master. Make sure to also check our PUBG Mobile redeem codes list, and use them to get some free skins and items.

World of Tanks Blitz is one of the most popular shooter games for iPhones and iPads for a good reason. Driving these armoured beasts always looked cool, and its gameplay has been adapted from PCs to mobile phones, but it kept the captivating essence. Since its release, more than 100 million players (yes, you read that correctly) have played it. When you take into account the high average rating, that’s quite a feat.

We are constantly updating the World of Tanks Blitz codes, so you can take a look if new ones have been released recently. They can provide you with a limited premium account, some rental tanks, gold and a lot more.

Maybe you’d like a bit of ‘dark/noir’ in your shooter? In Lonewolf you can unfold the story and snipe your enemies from afar, destroying them swiftly before they even know what hit them. It’s an FPS that is pretty intense, in the sense that it also has a moral to it.

Lonewolf looks great, it’s realistic and it has all the elements for us to call it a top shooting game for iOS. Definitely worth a shot.

Frag: Pro Shooter is a shooter game with colourful, whacky-looking graphics! There actually isn’t any blood in the game, instead, you can see smoke clouds, fire, electricity and other juicy-looking effects. There are tons of different characters, maps, skins and more – with a new character being released each month through the Season Pass.

‘Frag’ feels like a shooter made for all ages, allowing younger children to play without having to worry about gore. There is also a massive community aspect to this FPS, where you can create your own clubs and fight against others in club wars.

Still one of the most popular shooters around, Brawl Stars keeps going strong with new brawlers being added monthly. It plays as an isometric 2D battle royale where the goal is to top all of the other players.

Brawlers have special abilities and different gameplay which makes it even more interesting, as mastering and collecting each one takes time if you don’t plan to invest some money into it. We recommend that you go slow and unlock them one at a time as that’s the end goal. Play ranked or casual matches, or play as a team if you have friends who are active players, as it gets even more chaotic and interesting with someone you know. Brawl your enemies away!

Guns of Boom has smaller maps and with easy to follow layouts, meaning that intense action can still happen without having to explore massive maps looking for people to kill.

There are plenty of guns and gear that can be unlocked and upgraded, which can help you stay alive, as well as enough ammo to help you kick some ass. It’s just a really great shooter that has all the right elements to make it a successful FPS! We’ve discussed more about that in our Guns of Boom review so make sure to check it out!

Archero is one of those more colourful shooting games. It combines dungeon crawling with shooting to create a more unique gaming experience. You only have a single attempt per world to defeat 50 levels of enemies. It’s a challenging title, but you can quickly gather items to help you and loot to keep you going forward. With limited attempts per day, you’ll need it!

It has a top-down perspective, and it’s really easy to get a grasp of the basics in the first few minutes even. Don’t forget to consult Archero tier list in case you decide to try this one out!

A fun-looking (but serious) shooter had to make it onto this list and Sierra 7 is the one I picked! You can endlessly shoot your way through a bunch of enemies, by having a tactical approach. You basically need to figure out the war operation and come out victorious.

There are many hours to delve into in the campaign mode, and unique missions and even mini-games are designed to keep you engaged for a very long time. A clear winner!

Tacticool is a shooter with a new viewpoint – an angled, top-down view – where you can see more of what is happening all around you. Of course, there are tons of weapons to find, but one of the main aspects of Tacticool is being aware of the world around you, seeing different dangers and exploding barrels before they actually knock you down.

Physics is as realistic as you can get in a title like this, which can create some funny and interesting situations. We’ve also got a Tacticool review where we share our honest opinion about this tactical-cool shooter!

Commanding an army of humanoid animals who are facing off against animal zombies, Bad2Bad Extinction is a pretty interesting shooter! Despite being a title where you play as animals who can hold guns, the weapons and attachments to them are very realistic to make up for it! Bad2Bad is quite intuitive as well.

Missions are time-limited, but there’s enough time to complete each one, once you get used to the gameplay. You won’t be able to just stand in one place and shoot at the incoming waves, as sometimes you’ll get into a sticky situation that will require a roll away from the enemies. You don’t want to become a zombie eagle, right?

As a hitman, you’re tasked to take out very specific targets in a limited timeframe. It’s an exciting FPS that makes use of more than a flurry of bullets – you’ll need to time your skills right and hit the enemies at the perfect moment every single time!

While it’s not as exciting and dynamic as PUBG or CoD, it is one of the top shooting games for iOS for a number of reasons – the realistic console-quality graphics and smooth controls being just a couple of them.

Shortly before the release of the long-awaited multi-platformer Max Payne 3 on consoles and PC, Max Payne Mobile became available to owners of Apple tablets and smartphones. The move is logical and extremely timely: there is no better way to draw attention to the release of the sequel and at the same time introduce newcomers into the gloomy world of Max Payne.

Older players will be thrilled with the nostalgic kick in the nerves, and after the reflexes get centred, you’ll be in for a treat.

No better way to wrap up the list of the best shooting games on iOS! If you have any suggestions, leave a comment below, and we will make sure to try out the recommended title (in case we haven’t done it already).
