Stick Warfare

The defining trait is how simple the controls are: you move and shoot left and right. Around that sits a large arsenal, with over 200 weapons from automatic pistols and shotguns to rocket launchers, a Gatling gun and 50 caliber machine guns.

Perks such as Juggernaut, Marksman and Field Medic add variety, and more than 40 skills sit on top of them. Google Play rates the game 4.7 from 111.5 thousand ratings.

You pick a mode such as Bodycount, Gun Game, Onslaught or Zombie Invasion, then fight the stick army and spend earnings on weapons, upgrades and skills. Cosmetic items let you change how your character looks.

Up to 4 players can join multiplayer, which covers co-op play. A global leaderboard compares your score with other players.

Supreme Duelist, Stick War, Stick Hero, Epic Stickman, Stickman Warriors and Stickman Hook are similar picks, though their gameplay is not described here, so a direct comparison is not possible.

For Stick Warfare itself, the shooter focus is clear: it sits in the stickman, FPS and action-adventure categories, with perks and weapon upgrades as its main progression.

Stick Warfare comes from Team Modernator Games under the package ID me.modernator.stickWarfareBloodStrike. It carries a Teen content rating, and because the stickman gunfights are free to play, expect ads and in-app purchases for weapons and upgrades.
