Immersive Shooter Games with Our Shooter Games Development Agency

Whether first-person shooter games like Halo or third-person like Gears of War, games that revolve around player characters taking aim and pumping bullets into opponents have been popular for decades. Still, the genre has grown dramatically in the last few years. Research shows that shooter games are one of the most popular video gaming genres among the British.

Despite the increase in popularity of other game genres on smartphones and PCs, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 are still dominated by shooters. It’s no surprise that major developers are producing them in plenty.

If you’re one of those people planning to develop one, well—you came to the right place!

Our professional developers here at Pearl Lemon Games can help you develop a great shooter game that will meet your game requirements.

The Hype Behind Shooter Games

What is it about shooters that attract people? Do they satisfy some adolescent male power fantasy? Yes, indeed. However, the story doesn’t end there. A shooter, especially in its current form, has a way of worming itself into our brains and satisfying psychological urges that other game genres do not.

As we dive further into the reason and hype behind shooter games, here are some popular games among players.

Apex Legends

Apex Legends combines battle royale gameplay with distinct hero characters, known as Legends, to create a one-of-a-kind and fiercely competitive squad-based first-person shooter. Twenty-three-person squads compete for supremacy, pushing each character’s unique skill set to the limit to win.

The play area shrinks over time, forcing you to engage in combat to avoid the dangerous outskirts. Apex also supports duos and solo play. Apex is a free-to-play game monetised through cosmetic loot boxes, similar to Overwatch’s system before the release of Overwatch 2.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare

In recent years, the Call of Duty franchise has shifted its focus from WWII campaigns to space adventures to battle royale action. Despite straying from its roots, the Infinity Ward-developed reboot of the seminal 2007 title grounds the first-person shooter series.

Modern Warfare has the tactical single-player and robust multiplayer modes that one would expect from a Call of Duty game, but it successfully eliminates all superfluous elements. That’s not to say Modern Warfare lacks interesting features. In the single-player campaign, a rewards-based morality system ranks your ability to distinguish innocent people from legitimate threats.

GTA V

The gameplay of Grand Theft Auto V, one of the best third-person shooter games available, is now a time-tested recipe for fun, hopping between character control and any on-screen vehicle. GTA defined and established the “sandbox” gameplay style, and the revamped version of GTAV makes it even more visually appealing. Others have offered variations on the same general theme, but GTA is the genre’s granddaddy for a reason.

The GTA experience has been defined by continuous, unstructured (or self-structured) playability. The Online mode takes this enjoyable – but lonely – experience and mechanics and turns them into a never-ending multiplayer funhouse of content and experience.

Valorant

Riot Games’ attempt to reclaim the competitive FPS crown in CS: GO. It’s a cross between Valve’s twitchy shooter and Overwatch’s over-the-top heroes: it’s still a tactical FPS where positioning is king, and you die in one headshot, but each class has flashy skills and abilities that can change the course of a round. Some allow you to leap into the air, while others ping enemy positions, and ultimate abilities can damage enemies through walls and entire clear areas.

It’s more colourful than CS: GO, but the clean visuals show that substance takes precedence over style. Its brief stay in Early Access demonstrates Riot’s attention to detail and the balance of its maps and heroes. Both will only get better with time.

FAQs

How much does a shooter games development agency charge?

The average AAA video game takes about four years to develop and costs around \$80 million. However, this amount varies greatly depending on the type of game and its level of complexity.

Is it worthwhile to reach out to a shooter games development agency?

Absolutely! Reaching out to a game development agency gives you immediate access to gaming industry experts who do not require additional training. They’ve already decided what to do. You will also avoid the time-consuming recruitment process. Through their experience in the field, an outsourcing game studio will add value to the project.

How long does it take to create a shooter game?

A mobile game can take months or years to develop. Of course, it all depends on the complexity of the game and the talent involved. Job conditions can also influence how quickly you complete a project.

Hiring an experienced project manager is one of the best things you can do. Let them crunch the numbers, set deadlines, and create a management plan. They can then provide you with a more accurate estimate of the overall time required to build your game.
