About the Game

The Riflemen is a fun, fast-paced low poly first-person shooter where matches are short and full of action! All players start with bolt-action rifles that they don’t need to reload. Players can customize their weapons and characters to get the look they want.

PLAY LIKE YOU WANT


The Riflemen offers a variety of game modes to suit your playstyle.
  • Go head-to-head in a classic fight for elimination in Team Deathmatch.
  • Work together with your squad to capture and hold objectives in Domination.
  • Feeling resourceful? Scavenger throws you into a world with limited ammo, forcing you to adapt and utilize dropped ammunition from fallen enemies and allies to survive.
  • For a truly tactical challenge, dive into Secure & Survive, a round-based battle where securing valuable cargo or eliminating the opposing team is your objective.

You can disable the supply drops in Barebones to get only bolt-action rifle action or make it even more competitive with the Hardcore type where every hit will be an insta-kill!

GUNPLAY


The Riflemen is a battle of skills and a true trial of friendships. Aim, shoot, reload, and repeat — no automatic weapons, only tough-ass action. Headshots make your opponents go sleepy-time at once and supply drops might bring you a shotgun, a sniper rifle, a bazooka, frag grenades, rapid fire pistol, mines or even a gunto sword! Whew, now that's a lot of fire power!

  • All players start with bolt-action rifles & knives
  • Headshots kill with one shot
  • No manual reloading is needed

CUSTOMIZATION


The Riflemen isn't just about raw skill – it's about expressing yourself on the battlefield. As you progress through over 100 levels, you'll unlock a variety of character and weapon skins, allowing you to create a soldier that's uniquely yours. Don't stop there! Personalize your arsenal with a variety of wood and metal finishes, crafting a weapon that reflects your playstyle.

  • With the DLC you'll be able to unlock 3 times more cosmetics! Become a legend who walks the line between lethality and sheer style.

In The Riflemen, the battlefield is your canvas, and the bolt-action rifle your brush. Every shot a stroke, every kill a masterpiece.
