The world of video games is divided into demanding titles only for fans and games that are more suitable for casual gamers, those who delight, from time to time, to play something fun and fast, never too complicated.
For example, some games on Facebook are extremely demanding, requiring you to devote yourself to the game every day to grow and score points.
In a previous article I wrote about the 10 funniest action games on Facebook, other than the usual Farmville or Cityville.
Among these was mentioned UberStrike, a multiplayer MMOFPS game on which it is worth dedicating a special article, also because it can also be played outside of Facebook, directly online from the internet browser of any PC, without downloading any client.
UPDATE: UberStrike has been retired, so I refer you to the list of the 25 best shooting games for PC for free
If you like shooters, there are lots of other top-level free games collected in two lists:
- Top 10 free, multiplayer online shooter games
- Similar first-person 3D games for Windows, Mac and Linux PCs
UberStrike is a fast, free online shooter game with five million registered users and one million active players per month.
As a type of game, it is very reminiscent of Counter Strike and Quake, made of fast online battles against other players and bots driven by the computer.
The gameplay is classic and complete, with all the basic elements of a normal first-person shooter, with primary and secondary weapons, melee and remote shooting.
In general, the controls are quite responsive and after each game, the kills and the results are added up to accumulate experience points that increase the power of your soldier and allow you to buy new weapons.
There are three different types of challenges: Training, Death Match, Team DeathMatch .
Training mode is done by a short tutorial, where you can learn to play alone, against some computer-guided enemies.
In a Deathmatch you need to kill as many other players as possible.
Team Deathmatch is instead a team war that can also be played in Elimination Team mode, where those who die cannot return to the game.
Visually, Uberstrike is done very well for being a completely online game.
Light effects, the water moves beautifully, and bright colors draw a very nice scenery to see.
The game is free and you can buy new weapons or change the type of soldier using the virtual credits that are won by playing.
UberStrike is a fun shooter, not perfect like other free PC games, but solid and, above all, playable from the browser, without downloading anything to your computer.
