The Spearman is a free action game for mobile devices developed by BYV. This minimalistic arcade shooter features stickman characters battling one another using all sorts of weapons and magic. Players will take control of the mighty spearman as they go up against various opponents in waves.

One against many

The Spearman boasts physics-based combat paired with simple and intuitive one-touch controls. In it, you control an unnamed spear-wielding warrior, and you'll face waves of multiple enemies, each equipped with a different weapon, ranging from bows to swords and even magicians. Simply drag your finger to aim and release to shoot.

It employs a distinct damage system wherein you can one-hit kill enemies in the head and body, while it will take two hits in the legs. Earn coins from completing levels, which you can use to purchase defensive equipment from the store, like helmets, armor, and such. One area that needs more work, though, is the controls, which sometimes feel a bit imprecise.

Simple yet engaging

The Spearman is a fun arcade shooter great for short bursts with simple yet engaging gameplay. The controls are intuitive, and you can purchase various gear to help in battle. Suffice it to say, this gets an easy recommendation. Give it a shot and see for yourself.
