Swatforce vs Terrorists — Play Free Online

Swatforce vs Terrorists is a top-down-style shooter in the action and shooting category, where you take the side of a police tactical unit and fight against a terrorist force. It runs directly in the browser tab, so there is nothing to install and no account to make. You open the page, click to start, and you are in the middle of a firefight within a few seconds.

It is a very different kind of game from the one this site is named after. Doodle Jump is about climbing and steady rhythm; here you are aiming, moving and reacting to enemies instead. If you have been bouncing upward for a while and want a change of pace with a keyboard-and-mouse game, this is a natural place to switch. Sessions suit short breaks: you can play one round and leave, with no long setup first.

How to play

On a computer, move with the arrow keys or WASD and aim with the mouse. The mouse is also what you use to select options in the menus. On a phone or tablet, the game uses touch instead: tap and swipe on the screen to control your character.

The basic loop of a shooter like this is simple. Move into position, line up the cursor on an enemy, fire, and keep moving so you are not an easy target. Left hand on the movement keys and right hand on the mouse is the most comfortable setup, and it lets you strafe while you aim.

Tips

• Keep moving. Standing still while you aim is the quickest way to lose health, so aim as you strafe rather than stopping first.
• Use WASD rather than the arrow keys if you are using a mouse. Your left hand stays near the keys and your right hand stays on the mouse.
• On a touch screen, give yourself room. Fingers cover part of the picture, so tap and swipe at the edges where you can still see what is happening.

If you want something faster and more reflex-driven in a different way, Helix Jump and Bird Jumper are quick, one-input games. For something you can play with another person on the same keyboard, Fireboy and Watergirl is a puzzle-platformer built around two characters working together. Bloons Tower Defense 2 is a better fit when you would rather plan than aim.

Swatforce vs Terrorists suits anyone who wants a quick action game on a laptop or desktop, and it is playable on a phone too if you do not mind touch controls.
