What Makes Trigger Fist Stand Out
Forged in the minds of battle-hardened gamers, Trigger Fist delivers precisely what you want in the shooter experience. Fluid controls coupled with exceptional gameplay.
"Finally, a Shooter Tailor Made for Mobile" – TouchArcade (4.5/5)
"Any doubt that I could enjoy a third-person shooter with nothing more than a touch screen has been completely removed. I’m a believer." – 148Apps (4.5/5)
"It's tough, brutal, and entices you back to your feet after every kill with the promise of swift and delicious revenge. This isn't a console shooter – it's an iOS shooter, and it's bloody marvelous." – Pocket Gamer UK (9/10) "Gold Award"
"Trigger Fist is beautifully designed, bringing you head-to-head with AI or actual combatants in an addictive shoot-out that gets better the more you play." – SlideToPlay (4/4) "Must Have"
"…slick, lean and incredibly fun…" – App Spy (4/5)
Dominate your friends in intense modern day firefights across six unique environments in four multiplayer modes. Scratch your shooter itch on the go with Free-for-All, Team Deathmatch, King of the Hill, and Sacred Goat — a team based scenario with the objective of carrying a disgruntled goat around the battlefield for the maximum amount of time.
Experience hours of challenging fun as you compete online with other gamers across the globe through Game Center Matchmaking and Online Leaderboards. Unlock numerous new weapons, skins, and perks as you progress through the ranks. Offline? No Problem. Highly sophisticated AI will find cover, camp around objectives, and work with you as you battle for supremacy. Trigger Fist is equally enjoyable online and off.
If you are a fan of the shooter genre, it is time to see how good touch screen shooters can be. With Trigger Fist, everyone who has an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch will find something to love.

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
So along time ago we bought the custom packs and the 2 maps, we deleted the game because we stopped playing. We recently redownloaded it and dont have access to our purchases anymore. How do we get those back without buying them again.
Wow hello fellow enjoyers we hope all is well is u stumble upon our review u r sexy U r king U r awesome fenticat791.
If u played this game back then, we know u handsome and get all the girls.
It needs cars and trucks and other vehicles and other equipment for the game.
Can we use backbone controller pls.
This game is the childhood goat of mobile fps games other than pixel gun, this is elite ball.
Multiplayer and single DM in your pocket. What's else do you need.
We still remember carrying that goat for as long as possible while getting lit up by enemy forces so much fun when we were younger.
Ive played this game as a kid and 8-7 years later Im still playing it no problems with the game smooth and simple.
Ive been playing this game for a while (like 8 yrs) and we redownloaded it and it crazy that this game is still really good even for its age 10/10 game we would recommend.
This game it makes us happy really happy we looked and looked for this game and we finally found it.
Been playing this for 12 years hands down best mobile game.
This game is an absolute masterpiece Ive been playing this game for 4 years+ now we beg. Please give us an update :(.
Still actively playing this in 2025, game has aged super well! 5/5 highly recommend.
Great game. Ive been playing since we were just a wee boy. Today when we were getting on, Im not sure what happened but all our progress is gone. Id really like to get it back so if theres any way, someone please help! Thank you :).
One of our all time favorite games. So good.
Plz never stop updating this game we love you guys.
We remember playing this game in middle school and making all our friends download it! Im 26 now, wish it would get a remastered version with updated graphics and multiplayer.
Please update this game, been so many years at least allow access to a server for multiplier.
We love this game so much its so ideating to much.
Still goated a decade later one of the best shooting mobile games imo.
This is still the best Game Hands down 2025 runs smoothly, no glitches/lags so far. Gameplay is still tactical fun and we enjoy it 24/7. Been playing this since we were a little kid, now Im a full grown adult. We recommend this game if you havent played it yet. Hopefully itll get some future updates or remastered. But so far 10/10.
We played this alot when we were younger, even though we were absolute BUNS at the game it was always fun.
Like the title says, this is a 10/10 game.
We remember playing this when it wasnt as popular and just seeing the game again and playing brings back so many memories.
We wonder if theyll ever make another one or update this masterpiece.
We love this game even the graphics because it makes us feel cool and we dont care if any body disagrees but keep the graphic like they are please.
We remember playing this game on iPod as a kid.
We played this game years ago in middle school with our friends and it was great. Sadly the Bluetooth joining friends feature doesnt work with multiple people so we cant play with our friends but still fun to play solo.
Been playing this game for years , cant find anything similar to play. Wish you had a part two.
This game is the best us and our brother love to play this and it is so much fun together us and him playing.
This game is perfect. We just want controllers. Nothing else.
This is a perfect mobile game and lots of memories.
We love this game, im literally addicted to this game its so good and fun.
To the people who say this game is hard we think thats just a skill issue.
We played this game a lonnng time ago like 5years ago and our brother was talking about somthing and then we remembered the game trigger fist we just yelled it out and all our brothers including us went to go download the game and now we are back with our best childhood game keep up the great work.
Great game, pretty realistic but it could use a update or a trigger fist 2, we think it would do well.
This game is really fun we mostly play it bc the goat.
Some say they think the game needs an update but personally we love the nostalgia of this game! We played it as a kid and we recently found it again, soooo many memories! Its our favorite game to play when we dont have cell phone service, it feels like the game is in real time, youd never know it was bots. (Take this review with a huge grain of salt tho, Im not a shooter game person, just girl who plays Minecraft, animal crossing, and clash games!).
What an awesome game. They just dont makeem like this anymore.
We remember playing this game on our dads phone way back when and its just as good as we remember. The loading speed is amazing, the graphics could be better but the devs are not gonna change that any time soon lol. The game would be much MUCH better if more people played and the graphics were better. But other than that, this game is phenomenal.
Absolutely obsessed to this day over a decade later. Play this more than Call of duty, though we definitely think they should get crazy and add some ww2 era weapons as imagine using a B.A.R. Or a MP44? Also a ADS or FPS toggle button would be cool too.
The game is really fun, we remember playing it years back reccomend :).
This game was the framing the scaffolding of our game preferences! This was our childhood that we can relive! This was a real one.
Trigger fist is OP and is great. Thats all we have to say it the best.
We love this game because when we were little we would always play it with our brother anytime it was so time we like this for being a good memory.
Please update this game it is a lot of fun.
Its not necessarily a pay to win game. Its fun to play with many modes too. The game play is smooth there are so many types of gun and maps the looks are customizable. Overall its a awesome experience.
