War Robots: Frontiers takes the classic War Robots formula and catapults it into the realm of high-fidelity, physics-driven mayhem. Published by My.com, this third-person mech shooter offers large-scale battles where hulking war machines clash in destructible environments. Unlike its mobile predecessor, Frontiers is built from the ground up for PC and consoles, leveraging Unreal Engine 5 to create more immersive combat scenarios.
The game focuses on team-based, objective-driven battles, where players pilot powerful mechs—called "War Robots"—customizing their weapons, armor, and abilities to fit their playstyle. Whether you prefer agile skirmishers, heavy artillery platforms, or tank-like juggernauts, Frontiers has a mech for you. Combat is dynamic and fast-paced, emphasizing strategy, positioning, and environmental destruction. Buildings crumble under heavy fire, providing both tactical opportunities and chaotic spectacle.
Customization is a big deal here, allowing players to tweak their machines with different weapons, modules, and abilities. The movement system is more refined than in the original War Robots, with smoother animations, better weight distribution, and an overall more polished feel. The maps are large and varied, featuring urban battlegrounds, industrial zones, and open wastelands.
For fans of mech-based destruction, War Robots: Frontiers delivers thrilling, high-octane action, estabilishing itself as one of the best online shooter of 2025.

Steel Hunters drops you into a war-torn futuristic battlefield where towering mechs and elite pilots engage in fast-paced tactical skirmishes. Combining elements of battle royales, MOBA, and third-person shooters, it challenges players to outwit, outgun, and outmaneuver each other in chaotic, yet strategic encounters.
Developed by Kingsoft and driven by Unreal Engine 4, the game stands out for its crisp visuals, highly customizable mechs, and the delicate balance between survival mechanics and deep progression systems. Players select from a roster of distinctive steel titans, each equipped with its own weapons, abilities, and playstyle, and then jump into large, open arenas riddled with environmental hazards, loot zones, and rival hunters.
The core gameplay revolves around PvEvP (Player vs Environment vs Player), where AI-controlled enemies and real opponents create a constant layer of danger. As you eliminate targets and complete objectives, you gain upgrades on the fly—enhancing your mech’s firepower, armor, and mobility.
Resource gathering, stealth ambushes, and tactical positioning are key components, offering a more methodical pace than your standard run-and-gun shooter.
The mix of tactical decision-making, mech customization, and intense firefights helps Steel Hunters to carve its niche in the increasingly crowded PvP market. It's not for everyone, but for those who enjoy Titanfall’s mechs with a hint of Escape from Tarkov’s tension, it just might be a hidden gem worth exploring.

Zany Shard Card twists
Crisp and readable gunplay
Roles fit varied playstyles
.. and what we didn't
Aggressive monetization bloat
Card RNG can snowball
Balance swings between patches
FragPunk is a free-to-play, team-based FPS that splices hero abilities into a bomb-plant/defuse framework, then throws the rulebook in a blender with its signature Shard Cards
At the start of a match—and between rounds—teams draft modifiers that can bend reality in hilarious (and sometimes horrifying) ways: low gravity, headshots-only rules, or even quirks like boosting allies by shooting them with friendly bullets or crouching to “lay” healing eggs.
The result is a tactical shooter where positioning and economy still matter, but each round becomes a fresh puzzle you solve with your squad’s Lancers, loadouts, and card combos. It’s fast, it’s loud, and at its best, it captures that “one more round” energy better than many modern shooters.
Beneath the chaos lives a very readable shooter.
Weapons kick just enough to reward control, time-to-kill keeps fights spicy without being instantly over, and abilities are impactful without (usually) smothering gun skill.
The main mode, Shard Clash, is Counter-Strike-esque with a twist; if a match ends deadlocked, a sudden-death 1v1 Duel decides it—pure spectacle and a great “clip this” moment.
Maps lean colorful and legible over gritty realism, and the roster of Lancers covers scouts, controllers, duelists, and explosive experts, so you can fill a role even if your aim’s still waking up.

Rise of Kingdoms is a multiplayer online strategy game developed by Lilith Games.
It takes place in a fantasy world where players take on the role of a leader of a small city-state and must build, expand, and defend their kingdom against other players and AI-controlled enemies. The game has gained a lot of popularity since its release and has become one of the most-played strategy games, especially in the mobile gaming market.
One of the most notable features of Rise of Kingdoms is its impressive graphics and animations.
The game is visually stunning, with highly detailed and realistic character models and environments.
The game’s interface is also user-friendly and intuitive, making it easy for players to navigate through the game and access different features.
RoK offers a wide range of customization options, allowing players to personalize their cities and armies to suit their playstyle.
You can choose from a variety of different commanders, each with their unique abilities and specialties: these commanders can then be leveled up and equipped with different equipment to increase their effectiveness in battle, adding some interesting RPG elements to the otherwise well-known MMORTS mechanics.
There is of course an alliance system that allows you to team-up with other players, and work together to conquer other kingdoms and complete more difficult challenges. The alliance system also offers a range of benefits, including shared resources and reinforcements during battles.
While the game is free to play, players are encouraged to spend real money to purchase in-game resources and items. This can make the game feel somewhat pay-to-win, as players who spend more money on the game will have a significant advantage over those who do not.
Another potential issue with the game is its steep learning curve.
While the game is relatively easy to pick up, mastering its complex mechanics and strategies can take a significant amount of time and effort. This could be either a turn-on or a turn-off based on the type of player that you are.
Overall, Rise of Kingdoms is one of the best games of its kind, so if you like classical and casual MMORTS games like this, you'll love RoK too!

Amazing soundtrack Convincing story Cool graphical ass...ets Simple and fun
.. and what we didn't
The gameplay lacks some depth... ... so it will get boring after a few weeks or months
Let's be honest: In Goddess of Victory you come for those sweet, spicy shooting girls in anime style, but you end up staying for an unexpectedly good lore, storytelling and soundtrack.
The gameplay itself is pretty simple: you shoot at things in 2D, so don't expect a full-featured online shooter like Call of Duty. Fights can (and will) get messy and fun, that's for sure, but the game lacks the depth of a hardcore shooter.
This is where the surprise comes in, because you'll immediately recognize the quality of the soundtrack, the colourful artworks and the solid lore and storytelling, which will immediately create an enjoyable and convincing atmosphere
If you like anime and are looking for a causal, simple game that is not too addictive or time consuming, definitely give Nikke a chance

Another notable aspect of the game is the rich storyline, which unfolds through a series of quests and missions. Players can explore different regions, uncover hidden secrets, and interact with various characters as they progress through the game. The narrative adds a sense of purpose and direction to the game, and helps players stay engaged and invested in their settlements and characters.
Overall, State of Survival is a compelling and addictive game that offers a unique and satisfying experience for players who enjoy strategy, RPG, and survival games.
With its pleasant visuals, engaging gameplay, and rich narrative, it's easy to see why the game has become so popular among PC gamers.

Watch the trailer:
When reviewing a MOBA in 2015, the n. #1 question to address is: do we really need another one? Is there anything original enough to make it worth playing? The short answer, in Supernova's case, is yes.
Apart from the original-but-not-so-much sci-fi \ space setting (which at least is not the same ol' fantasy one), Supernova brings an appreciated dose of strategy and complexity thanks to its RTS elements: minions don't spawn at predefined intervals to follow the same, computer-defined path, but are controlled directly by players.
You'll have a tech tree to research, and resources to spend to buy the most appropriate units for your objectives, just like in a RTS game.
This really adds a lot of gameplay opportunities, and we're sure that hardcore players looking for a deep, complex game will find in Supernova a great fit.

Lineage 2 is the continuation of the timeless Lineage released in 1998. Despite the "2" in the title, this second episode of the saga represents to all intents and purposes a prequel to the original game, being set 150 years earlier than the events narrated in the progenitor.
For better or for worse, Lineage 2 is a title strongly anchored to the time of its release, dated 2003, and playing it today means coming to terms with gameplay mechanisms belonging to another time, and which could displace new players more accustomed to modern variations of MMORPGs.
If you manage to go beyond the anachronisms implicit in the game mechanics and an outdated technical sector, however, Lineage 2 will show itself to you in all its magnificence, making you discover a fascinating world with a lore articulated, a rewarding progression system and PvP mechanics capable of sucking up large portions of your free time.w
