13 Best Flash Games Of All Time
In the early 2000s, flash games were the real deal. We wanted to remember past glories, so here are some of the best we have ever played.
But for those looking for boots-on-the-ground action, there’s no shortage of first-person shooters. Whether you’re playing alone or you want to test your skills against others online, these action-packed titles can all be enjoyed right from your browser.
8 Sierra 7
A throwback to the classic days of browser games, Sierra 7 still holds up surprisingly well. It places you in an on-rail tactical experience, where your aim and reflexes are put to the test in equal measure while dealing with the hostile forces present around every corner. Achievements can be used to unlock new weapons, which can then be taken into either the challenge mode, or campaign missions.
Sierra 7’s impressive breadth of content is only partly why it’s still so accessible to this day. The black and white art style, with splashes of red blood, gives the title a clean look. Combined with the military tone, this acts as the perfect appetizer for those looking to get into deeper tactical shooters like Ready or Not.
7 Rush Team
Rush Team plays like a relic of the early 2000s in the best way possible. With graphics that invoke source shooters like Counter-Strike, Rush Team has a look that is equal parts impressive and nostalgic. Rush Team comes with classic game modes like Team Deathmatch and Free-For-All, wherein you can customize your weapons to see what better fits your playstyle.
The run-and-gun gameplay feels like the early days of Call of Duty. You can expect to run around the maps trying to secure frags, all the while experimenting with different loadouts. Even the map design invokes the spirit of this iconic era of shooters, often forcing you into tight engagements where the quicker trigger finger will reign supreme.
6 Superhot

One of the most unique first-person shooters of all time, Superhot has become the poster child for the unique direction modern shooters have taken. The series has since spawned multiple titles, including a very popular VR experience, but the original demo is still free to enjoy.

For those unaware, Superhot works off a simple yet evocative premise. Time only moves when you do. The demo allows you to get a feel for this ingenious concept, weaving through a hail of gunfire while taking out crimson-colored opponents left and right. Although short, the demo provides enough of a taste to prove how much merit the concept has while also giving a peek at the series' meta plotline.
5 Doom
A popular gaming meme asks the simple question. But can it run Doom? The answer is often surprising, but the more ways that people can experience this most classic shooter, the better. The original Doom from 1993 is considered by many to be the grandfather of all FPS games, which means you can experience gaming history right in your browser.
From an aesthetic standpoint, the game looks and sounds fantastic, not losing any of what made the original’s atmosphere so stellar. On the gameplay front, things are a little bit stiffer, especially compared to some other more polished versions of the game available. But it's not nearly enough to soil Doom’s fantastic gameplay.
4 Bullet Bonanza
First-person shooters generally have a grim reputation and the reason is obvious. Most often you spend your time blasting through demons or terrorists, but occasionally some games take a more light-hearted approach. Bullet Bonanza is a browser game that uses cute animals in an arena-style death match.
The weapons aren’t all that wacky with machine guns, rocket launchers, and hunting rifles, but the fun art style keeps them all cohesive. The cartoon aesthetic helps make the game stand out among even big-budget titles.
3 EV.IO
Multiplayer shooters often use flashy styles to separate themselves from one another. Sometimes, it’s good to take things back to the basics. EV.IO strips away the unnecessary fluff to provide a deathmatch mode that feels plucked right from the early 2000s.

The Best PC Games Of The Early 2000s
The early 2000s was the golden age of PC gaming as the industry began to boom, and these games played had a major part in it.
Playing like the high points of Halo’s multiplayer scene, EV.IO places you on small maps that favor quick reflexes and careful aim to overcome your opponents. Some skills can be selected to provide you with an additional edge, but your standard assault rifle, as well as the myriad of weapons scattered around the area, will be more than enough to take down your opponents.
2 Krunker.IO
IO games are extremely popular for their ability to allow you to play games against real opponents straight from your browser. Most of these are pretty simple, but Krunker.IO boldly attempts to bring a fast-paced FPS experience without any bulky downloads. A task that it passes with flying colors.
The blocky art style is both easy to read and gives the game a casual vibe which mixes well with the gameplay. Playing like a modern Call of Duty game with its gunplay, Krunker.IO stands out with its class-based system that allows you to play in a way that best suits your style.
1 Polyblicy
It is difficult not to be impressed with how far browser games have come over the years. From the days of hand-drawn flash titles, we now have games like Polyblicy. A first-person shooter that feels just as good as many of the paid games on the market. With a host of different game modes and weapons to use, Polyblicy is an excellent browser title for its gameplay alone.
But its strengths don’t stop there. The graphics are extremely impressive, given that the game can be played without any downloads. Pair that with the weapon customization, and you have a title that's worth sinking hours into.
