What is Pixel Gun 3D?
Pixel Gun 3D is an online multiplayer shooter game developed and published by Cubic Games for iOS, Android, Windows Phone, and Amazon devices. The game features pixelated 3D graphics and several multiplayer game modes such as deathmatches, cooperative modes, and battle royale.
In Pixel Gun's primary mode, players compete against each other in blocky arenas in variations of classic competitive shooter game modes like Team Battle, Deathmatch, Flag Capture, and Points Capture. Players can customize their character with cosmetic skins and accessories as they level up. There is also a cooperative mode where players can team up to defeat computer-controlled enemies across different maps.
A key aspect that sets Pixel Gun apart from other mobile shooters is its diverse selection of over 200 weapons players can use in matches. These range from melee weapons like swords and hammers to pistols, machine guns, flamethrowers, and sci-fi ray guns. Players also have the ability to upgrade and customize each weapon's attributes. The blocky pixel art style gives the weapons and maps a simple, retro charm.
Since launching in 2013, Pixel Gun has become highly popular in the mobile gaming scene, lauded for its casual, pick-up-and-play appeal, kid-friendly aesthetics and gameplay, and amount of content. It has over 300 million downloads worldwide as of 2022 and remains one of the highest rated games in its genre.
