  1. [R3] Hero Hunters 3/5 · US Good potential: The unique hero abilities is good, but stats can feel overwhelming compared to even carefully using skills. It feels a lot of grinding of investment is needed at later levels.
  2. [R6] Hero Hunters 3/5 · US New district: I have played this game like 3 years ago and I’m back and nothing changed add new districts and a new game mode . Such a good game but the developers don’t add nothing all they add is a new hero and have a event about it
  3. [R9] Hero Hunters 3/5 · US Needs more open world: Needs more open world so you can move where ever you want to go not the game.
  4. [R15] Hero Hunters 3/5 · US No controller, No settings, Pixelated: No controller in a FPS game ? Hard to play. No settings for anything ? no customization ? Low quality pixelated graphics ?
  5. [R19] Hero Hunters 2/5 · US No: Controls are terrible and cannot be changed at all in settings except to accommodate left handed players
  6. [R84] Sniper Strike 3/5 · US Fun but frustrating: I can’t express how incredibly frustrating it is when a game developer designs a reload button too close to the shoot button and your gun re-loads instead of firing. If you’re a micrometer off from the firing button, you die every time and it’s so infuriating. Other than that, great game and yes I tried the other controller configurations.
  7. [R97] Sniper Strike 1/5 · US Sights don’t scroll.: The sights of the gun frequently do not scroll all the way to the enemy, making it impossible to shoot the enemy. You have to close the app, and pray that the bug will be gone when you reopen it.
  8. [R4] Hero Hunters 1/5 · US Solid Game: Keeps crashing, , , - Says I’m not on server. Resets and repeats
  9. [R7] Hero Hunters 1/5 · US Good game, but the support team aren’t responding to requests: The game is great I’ve been playing since 2021, I sent a request to the support team about getting my old account back but I didn’t get any reply aside the notification that the request was submitted no one has responded to me yet on that, so I open a new account and 3 day ago I’m currently in team level 37 then I tried login in back t
  10. [R8] Hero Hunters 4/5 · US Cannot log into game: Hello, I get an error when trying to log into the game. It says I have a bad internet connection, please check it, but my internet is fine. I don't know what to do in this situation. I've tried accessing the game with VPN, DNS, mobile internet, deleting and reinstalling, clearing the cache, but I still can't get into the game. Please help 🙏 · translated
  11. [R16] Hero Hunters 1/5 · US Crashing constantly!!!: Funny how that when I played this game as a f2p player the first day I didn’t crash once. Then the moment I spend money in one of their new player packs I crash every 5 minutes…. Save your money and don’t play this game.
  12. [R10] Hero Hunters 1/5 · US BEWARE: Thieves thieves thieves. Do not make in game purchases. Most recently purchased 2024 medal offers, charged for them. They appeared on app, went to use them and they disappeared and received nothing.It’s a coin flip if you will actually receive your purchase or be able to use it.
  13. [R13] Hero Hunters 2/5 · US App issue: My tokens disintegrated while the event is still active and as soon as I got them???
  14. [R39] Hero Hunters 3/5 · GB Hero Hunters: I accidentally bought a vip crate and I can’t restore it be careful not to get one these people are scammers
  15. [R40] Hero Hunters 1/5 · US Support non-existent: I purchased an in game package with real $$. Apple charged me. Game support never responded to my requests for help. I tried to get Apple to reverse the charges and after review was done I get a notice “Not Eligible for Refund.” This game is a rip off. Update: Support told me it had been taken care of. Forums stated it was a known problem and people affected would receive re
  16. [R73] Sniper Strike 1/5 · US Don’t trust any purchase here: I purchased gold from the website and app and never received my purchase. Though the website instantly received my money. Repeatedly left emails and receipts to prove my purchase and both the app and website ghosted me. Basically stealing my $100.00. I’m not the only player this happened to. Beware.
  17. [R87] Sniper Strike 3/5 · US Charges but no perks: Love the game but , I have noticed that I am paying f for the gold card perks and actually not Receiving any of the rewards or perks use caution when buying from the app
  18. [R1] Hero Hunters 2/5 · US When!!??: When will the update release I’ve been waiting for like 7 days?!
  19. [R21] Hero Hunters 3/5 · US Help us help you: I've been playing this game since it's inception and I've enjoyed it up until recently. I understand that there is a period of getting things sorted so that upgrades can be made. However, to leave so many players hanging with no word on any updates on the future is unnecessary. Many of us have spent alot of money in this game. I get it, that money is needed and used for developme
  20. [R28] Hero Hunters 1/5 · US Stygia needs a nerf: Her abilities are to strong they need a nerf the 70% speed nerf is to big and the decay abilities stun is to long I would be very happy if you can nerf her
  21. [R24] Hero Hunters 3/5 · US Backbone: Request controller support
  22. [R29] Hero Hunters 5/5 · US Great game but: Love the game just would be even better with controller support
  23. [R79] Sniper Strike 2/5 · US Too many ads: Jumbled mess with too many ads
  24. [R88] Sniper Strike 1/5 · US Ad crazy: Don’t get this game unless you want to watch a 1000 ads. It’s over the top ridiculous
  25. [R93] Sniper Strike 3/5 · US Fun but too many ads: The fact that you can pay over $7/week to subscribe to premium whatever… and you still have to watch a crap ton of ads in order to make enough money to upgrade your weapons is stupid. If you’re paying that much money weekly you should be able to skip the ads. Any game that doesn’t give you that option isnt worth playing, in my opinion.
  26. [R63] Sniper Strike 3/5 · US Upgrade money grab: I have been playing this game for while. It’s unfortunate that with every new campaign you have to spend upwards of $50 to upgrade ALL of your weapons to continue playing. The game will literally not let you continue play until you have a weapon with a specific damage level, even if you maxed out your weapons on the previous campaign. I only use it now for arena play…bummer!
  27. [R69] Sniper Strike 3/5 · US Too much grinding for cash: I like the game when it was in it younger stages bc you would have enough cash to get other weapons but now you HAVE to grind on arena just for the guns now and honestly I HATE that. If y’all lower the cash cost for all the weapons I’ll really appreciate that and please make the payout for arena more (and I mean a LOT more) other than that the game is great to me. Just
  28. [R76] Sniper Strike 2/5 · US Fun at first…: I really liked the game for a while especially for the campaign. I took a break recently and just came back to it and can’t deal with the cost of weapons and upgrades. Even using gold for the latest weapons doesn’t mean they’ll last multiple levels. It’s not worth after a while. Even some of the challenges are just lazy with most being “don’t miss a shot”.
  29. [R106] Sniper Strike 1/5 · US Absolutely pay to win (DONT BUY disclaimer): After a quest I had to upgrade my damage but I didn't have enough money
