10 best archery games for Android
Archery is one of humankind’s oldest activities. The practice is mostly for competition these days, but some people still go out hunting as was its original intention. Unfortunately, the archery hobby hasn’t translated all that well to mobile. There are a bunch of games with the occasional bow and arrow, but very few true archery games. That isn’t to say that there are none, but it’s not exactly a genre developers are clamoring over. In any case, you do have some good options. Here are the best archery games for Android.
The best archery games for Android
Archery Big Match
Price: Free to play
Archery Big Match is a simple archery game with decent, but not amazing graphics. Players take aim at moving targets and try to hit the bullseye. The game includes offline, local multiplayer, various items to help your gameplay, support for 16 languages, and multiple game modes. We particularly enjoyed stuff like the wind affecting arrow flight. It’s a free-to-play game, but it seems to be one of the better archery games for Android.
Archery Club
Price: Free to play
Archery Club is a fairly vanilla archer experience. You get a bow and arrow along with some targets to hit. You work on hitting them without missing them. It has a typical progression system. You play, earn upgrades, and then perform better with those upgrades. The game also includes an online PvP mode where you can face off against other players. It’s free to play, but luckily the microtransactions aren’t too bad. You could definitely do way worse.
Archery Elite
Price: Free to play
Archery Elite is another up-and-coming archery game for mobile. This one boasts a more varied experience with several game modes, including online PvP mode, an offline mode, tons of unlockable content, and more. The competitive nature of the game and its free-to-play price tag does make it difficult to win without spending money. However, as a time killer, it’s not a bad arcade archery game.
Archery Master 3D
Price: Free to play
Archery Master 3D is one of the most popular archery games on Android at the time of this writing with over 900,000 reviews on Google Play. The game features four locations, about two dozen pieces of gear to collect, over 100 levels, and online PvP multiplayer. It hits all of the marks, pun intended, for a good free-to-play archery game on mobile. The graphics are clean and the gameplay is satisfying. Of course, the free-to-play part kicks in after a bit, but it’s still one of the better archery games on mobile.
Archery Physics Shooting Challenge
Price: $0.99
Archery Physics Shooting Challenge is a niche title in the archery games space. It costs $0.99 and has no additional in-app purchases. It’s a good choice for those who dislike free to play titles. The game features 70 levels, surprisingly decent graphics, decent bow and arrow flight mechanics, and support for offline game play. It’s a fairly basic target shooting game, but it’s a cheap one for those on a budget.
Archery World Champion 3D
Price: Free to play
Archery World Champion 3D is another up-and-coming archery game. It’s also one of the largest. The game comes packed with 390 single-player levels, 270 dual game levels, and an online social gaming mode as well. You also get cloud saving, decent graphics, simple controls, and more. It’s obviously not the most polished game we’ve ever seen and you should probably cloud save twice just to make sure it sticks. However, there is enough content here to last you a long time if you like the game.
Bowmaster 2
Price: Free to play
Bowmaster 2 is an archery challenge game with a neat premise. You pull back the bow with one finger, aim with the other, and try to hit the targets. You get points for hitting the various targets and that helps you defeat opponents. It definitely has its ups and downs. Some players also enjoyed the first game a little bit more. Still, this is a reasonably decent little arcade shooter as long as you have the patience to get it right. Remember, this is an example of how developers don’t really develop archery games much.
Ninja’s Creed
Price: Free to play
Ninja’s Creed is a wildcard pick for this list. It’s technically a sniper style game. You go on missions, track targets, and take them out like most sniper games. However, you get to use a bow and arrow sometimes in this one. It operates in the spirit of an archery game, but it’s more violent than the usual competition style that most other archery games use. The game has plenty of weapons, various missions, and a few other fun things.
Stickman archery games
Price: Free / Free to play (usually)
There are actually a few decent archery games with the Stickman title by a variety of developers. We tried a few of them, including The Archers 2, Stickman Archers, and Stickman Archer and they all play more or less the same way. You play as a stickman and you shoot bad guys. The games feature plenty of bloodshed, some puzzle elements, and more. They are not games we would recommend to children by any stretch. You can get The Archers 2 with the button below. You can download Stickman Archer and Stickman Archers by clicking the names.
Tiny Archers
Price: Free to play
Tiny Archers is another popular archery game. It plays a little bit like a mix of tower defense and angry birds. You play as an archer on a tower and you fling arrows at oncoming bad guys to prevent them from storming your tower. The game includes four playable characters, various enemies, four story modes, 130 levels, and some RPG elements as well. It’s a bit simple, so those who need super engaging mechanics may need to look elsewhere. Otherwise, this is an excellent tower defense archery game.
