Games Game Genres Shooter

Shooter

A shooter is one of the most popular gaming genres. The player controls a character from a first-person or third-person perspective. The hero is armed with various firearms or their futuristic counterparts. The main objective of shooters is to eliminate all enemies in the level. Usually, the hero needs to get from one point to another or hold a position for a certain amount of time. Modern shooters feature a cinematic storyline and elements from other genres (stealth, tactics, role-playing system).
