What do you know about the free games in the App Store? Truth be told, most of the games are derived from dumb, stupid and useless ideas that we don’t use in real life but often dreamed in our wildest dreams. Think of carrying a bow and bunch of arrows, drive down town and start shooting aimlessly. You’ll land in a county jail within an hour. This useless idea neatly coded into an iPhone game is one of the top games in the App Store believe it or not. 

Archers: Bowman’s Battle Free from Wings for Cats is an arrow shooting game that makes your sucking shooting instincts to wake up. Put yourself as a pygmy or a bushman or a modern archer in the Olympic games before you start playing this good for five minutes game. Oh, I remember the angel and devil shooting game Rescue Angels. 

Archers is simple and doesn’t need any instructions to get you started. There you are inside the iPhone holding a bow in hand and a bunch of arrows on your back. Depending on the game mode you’ve chosen, you’ll be target practicing or would play with the CPU or your friend. In all the gameplay you just need to slide your finger on the iPhone screen and release it to shoot. 

To play the game, you first need to know the power and elevation of the arrow and the bow to hit your target. Once you find the exact value, go on shooting arrows with the same values and take down your opponent before you are nailed. It is that simple. 

The graphics are simple and this makes the game look somewhat non-violent. There is only a simple and short gasping sound when you hit your opponent or vice versa. 

Archers is a game for all ages, however, I have a doubt that this game could instill the interest of playing bows and arrows game in children. If you have few minutes to throw away, well, Archers is the right game.
