Local Warfare RE: Portable is a free action game for mobile developed by indie developer Dazad. It's a LAN-based multiplayer first-person shooter that hosts matches between friends and family connected to the same local network. It serves up two modes to choose from and supports bot-controlled characters.

Old-school LAN party

Local Warfare RE: Portable's gameplay harkens back to the days of classic multiplayer shooters like Counter-Strike played using just that same Local Area Network. It allows for matches with up to 32 players and a choice between PVP or PVE modes, with the latter relying on bots-controlled teammates and five difficulty levels.

It also features ragdoll physics for more realistic animations and character movements. That's complemented by nice graphics and modest system requirements that even low-end devices can meet and run well. The game hasn’t received any updates in a while so don't expect anything new to come any time soon.

No internet required

If you like competitive multiplayer shooters but don't have a particularly fast connection, Local Warfare RE: Portable is a title worth considering. It offers two game modes, can run on pretty much any hardware, and more importantly, it works offline. Hopefully, new updates arrive soon. Aside from that, it gets a recommendation.
