There's simply no getting around it: first-person shooters are still having trouble trying to find solid footing in today's smartphone and tablet industry. A lot of this missed success might be pinned on the awkward translation of joystick-and-trigger controls onto a touchscreen interface, but The Drowning from Scattered Entertainment is one game that has set out to change the way we shoot things from a first-person perspective without anything even remotely resembling a trigger. A horror-themed FPS with an emphasis on fluid touchscreen controls and a freemium model that won't scare away hardcore gamers like the actual creatures in the game world will, The Drowning serves to show that there may just be room for more quality FPS titles on mobile after all.
