Heavy story games, puzzle games, and other slow-paced games are valuable in their own right, but sometimes we want something to quickly sink our teeth into. Fast-paced games provide players with action-packed scenarios, ‘think fast’ situations, and hours of endless fun.
Let’s take a look at some of the best fast-paced games in three genres: Casino gaming, apps, and video games.
Casino Games
A lot of casino games are fast-paced and involve a large amount of quick decision-making. In fact, there has arisen a distinction in casino gaming between fast games and skill games, with the former more dedicated to quick and easy fun, and the latter requiring more skill and practice to master.
There is also a tangible sense of reward that comes from the speed of a casino with fast withdrawal, which ensures you can claim your winnings quickly and effectively.
Here are some casino games, known for being fast-paced:
Blackjack
Blackjack is a relatively simple casino game that can be learned and played quickly and easily. Additionally, many online casinos offer variations to the game that allow for an even faster-paced playing style.
Hi-Lo
Often also called higher or lower, Hi-Lo is a simple casino game that involves the player guessing whether the next card in a sequence will be higher or lower than the previous. Some variations of the game even add time limits for decision-making to create an even faster-paced environment for the player.
Crash Games
Crash games are a relatively new form of casino gaming that involves players placing bets on a multiplier value that will continue to increase until the game ‘crashes’ at a random point, causing all funds not already cashed out to be lost.
This fast-paced game has become incredibly popular over the years and is a favorite amongst online crypto casinos.
Apps
The app store, whether Apple, Google Play, or any of the others, provides a treasure trove of fast-paced apps, both free and paid, that can entertain you for hours. The benefit of fast-paced apps is that they can be quickly and easily accessed on either a phone or tablet, and so can be played at any time.
Here are some popular fast-paced games on the app stores:
Subway Surfers
Subway Surfers and other games like it make use of a simple mechanic that always brings us back for more. The premise of this game is to safely direct your character over obstacles by swiping the screen in four directions and picking up items on the way.
Although Subway Surfers takes the crown in popularity for this genre of game, others are also worth exploring, including Temple Run and Geometry Dash.
Call of Duty Apps
Did you know the world-famous video game is also available in app form? Call of Duty Mobile enables players to customize their character and quickly head into battle against other players from around the world.
Granted, there aren’t as many features available as there are on the console counterparts, but having the world of Call of Duty available at your fingertips makes it a very popular option for millions of players.
Among Us
If you fancy something with a little more strategy, but that is still fast-paced and action-packed, then why not try out the world-famous Among Us. Although this game has become very popular with the younger generations, it isn’t actually tailored towards them and can be a very fun pastime for adults.
Among Us involves the players playing as one of several crew members in a spaceship when someone is randomly selected to be the ‘impostor’ and kill off the others.
At the end of every round, the players, including the imposter, get together to try and guess who among them is to be blamed for the murder. These rounds happen relatively quickly, and the game can be a great way to have a lot of fun in a short space of time.
Video Games
We couldn’t make a list of fast-paced games without mentioning the type of game that started it all, the reliable and constantly developing world of video games.
Here are some fast-paced games that can bring you hours of fun:
Rocket League
This game has a simple enough premise: you play soccer, except instead of a person, you play as a tiny car. The game has become immensely popular over the years. It is very fast-paced and relies on focus, quick reflexes, and teamwork, but it is also incredibly vibrant and fun.
Hades
Hades gets the balance right when it comes to fast-paced action and heavy lore and story, and it does this by making the majority of the story aspects optional.
Players play as the son of Hades as he tries to escape the underworld in this rogue-like dungeon crawler. Battles are fast-paced and often overwhelming, but players move through the game quickly, picking up boosts and bits of lore as they go.
Fortnite Battle Royal
This game is the definition of fast paced. Players are dropped on an island with 99 others where they must quickly adapt, build, scavenge, survive and kill.
Hesitation in this game means character death, and skills need to be utilized quickly and with precision to provide the best chance of survival.
