Gameplay

Pixel Gun 3D is a first-person shooter and battle royale game that has over 35 maps and 1,000 different types of weapons.[3][4][5] It has two game modes: a single-player campaign mode where players have to kill monsters such as ghouls and zombies,[6] eventually having to fight bosses;[3] and a multiplayer mode that has players competing in a map to reach a set amount of kills.[6] Multiplayer "Deathmatches" involve individual players fighting each other while "Team Fights" involve two teams. In-game equipment can be purchased with coins earned from multiplayer battles.[3] Players can join clans,[7] obtain pets,[3] customize their character and have different skins.[3][5] The game's mechanics and graphics are similar to that of Minecraft.[5][6]

Reception

Pixel Gun 3D has been lauded for its variety in features such as weapons, character customizability and game modes.[5][7][8] Felipe Vinha of Brazilian website TechTudo thought it to be enjoyable,[5] and Alex Avard of GamesRadar+ considered the game to have "a rambunctious moment-to-moment overload of sensory action and loaded visual flavour".[4] The game was listed by Gamezebo's Mark Langshaw and Avard in 2018 and 2019 respectively as one of the best mobile battle royale games.[8][4] Pocket Gamer ranked Pixel Gun 3D in 2021 as the 24th best shooter game for Android devices,[7] and in 2022 as the 15th best for iOS.[9]

While praising the game's multiplayer mode, Mike Deneen of 148Apps found the single-player mode to be frustrating and uninteresting.[6] Vinha criticized what he saw as annoying bugs and advertisements.[5]
