IS KRUNKER 2019'S BEST BROWSER SHOOTING GAME?

Browser-based FPS games are a fun way to pass the time. Because the technology powering browser-based games has advanced significantly in recent years, browser-based FPS games are capable of nearly next-gen graphics and detail while loading quickly into the browser, allowing you to jump right into the action without the need for a lengthy download and installation process.

There are other excellent browser-based FPS games available, but [Krunker](https://krunkerio.io) is one of the most often referenced. Is Krunker IO the greatest because of this? That is what we are here to discover. In this post, we'll compare Krunker to some of the other FPS web games available, as well as examine what makes Krunker so popular.

GRAPHICS BY KRUNKER
Krunker's visuals are nothing to write home about, but that's part of the game's charm.

The visuals are similar to Minecraft but with firearms. So it's hardly cutting-edge by any means, but voxel visuals have their own attraction. Furthermore, there are a number of popular gun modifications for Minecraft, so it seems Krunker understood who he was aiming for.

Krunker lacks the visuals of more complicated web games like Red Crucible or Global Strike, but that's not the point.

KRUNKER'S DEVELOPMENT SUPPORT
When a web game becomes successful, the creator often transfers it to a mobile or full desktop installation, and the browser version gets no further maintenance. Bullet Force, which formerly had a sizable community in the browser version, is a prime example.

When the developer began working on a desktop version for distribution on Steam, development on the browser version ceased completely, the population fell, and the developer ceased development entirely.

Krunker, on the other hand, is updated on a regular basis. In fact, it was updated 7 hours ago as I write this, with 50 new character skins, exploit patches, and other modifications.

THE COMMUNITY OF KRUNKERS
A fast search for "Krunker forums" yields many hits from various websites, including an official sub-Reddit with over 6300 users. The sub-Reddit itself is quite busy, with many game memes, gameplay conversations, and developer updates posted at all hours of the day.

The Krunker community also has a significant number of clans and competitions. A recent Krunker competition drew 256 people for a $600 top prize and a personalized in-game spray tag.

Searching for communities for other browser-based FPS games yielded no results.

FINAL CONSIDERATIONS
The adjective "best" is very subjective. If you desire a more tactical, "realistic" war-like experience, Krunker is not the game for you. You'd want something like Rush Team or Global Strike. However, if we consider the most active community, regular developer updates, and traditional arena shooter gameplay, Krunker is a good match for many browser gamers.
