Wheels of Duty is a free-to-play FPS on Steam that recently left early access and currently has Very Positive reviews. The first-person shooter genre has been crowded in recent years, with dozens of new games appearing on Steam every month. That said, Wheels of Duty might stand out simply because it is completely free to play.
Of course, Wheels of Duty is not the only free-to-play FPS on Valve's storefront. There are genre-defining games like Counter-Strike that have dominated the category for years. However, this small-scale indie game could serve as a comical relief for players looking for something different, something less intense that is capable of making them laugh.

Wheels of Duty Is a Funny PvP FPS with Interesting Game Modes
According to the game's Steam page, Wheels of Duty offers multiple PvP modes, including classics like Team Deathmatch and Free for All, familiar to players from most first-person shooter games. The game has been in early access since 2022, giving developer Leo Waters time to polish the gameplay and finalize its core mechanics. Currently, Wheels of Duty has a Very Positive user review score on Steam, though the number of reviewers is still under 200.
Several features make Wheels of Duty a solid choice for FPS fans. For one, it is a low-spec game that can run on almost any gaming PC or laptop. It also has basic gameplay mechanics that are easy to learn. In other words, players don't need to invest money or commit long hours to enjoy it, which is a big plus. The core gameplay revolves around riding wheelchairs and shooting enemies, with options to customize vehicles and give them a unique look.
Of course, players should keep their expectations realistic, as Wheels of Duty is an experimental indie game. While it offers a fun gameplay experience, it does have some bugs and glitches which are common in games of this scale. The servers aren't as crowded as those of other FPS games on Steam, so it's recommended to play with friends. That said, the game includes bots to fill in for missing players, which helps, given its small player base and relative obscurity among genre fans.
It's also worth noting that Wheels of Duty offers DLC packs that fans can purchase to support the developer. Buying all the additional content costs around $11 USD and unlocks several character packs, as well as the game's Survival Mode. According to the developer, this mode includes multiple PvE challenges, including one where players fight off zombies, loosely inspired by the Zombies mode in Call of Duty.
