  1. [R3] Sniper Shooter 3/5 · US good but pricing is insane and it is p2w: i love the game but 24 dollars for a sniper is kind of a joke not gonna lie. and now you cant even play more than 3 games per day of multiplayer without having to pay for vip. thats ridiculous. ive already beat all levels and 95% of achievements/challenge and its very fun but sort of pay to win (p2w).
  2. [R14] Sniper Shooter 5/5 · US Childhood: Literally childhood best game
  3. [R21] Sniper Shooter 3/5 · GB Meh: Ok game but the gameplay is annoying - you need to tilt the screen to aim and the sensitivity is really low. Also you are only allowed 3 multiplayer levels a day, which is a bit annoying :/
  4. [R28] Sniper Shooter 1/5 · US Literally trash: This game is fun but level two on chapter two is rigged
  5. [R1] Sniper Shooter 2/5 · US Glitchy: The game is fine but I can’t play the multiplayer mode. I get about 3-4 shots in then it just turns off. Has been happening for about a week. Fix this please.
  6. [R9] Sniper Shooter 3/5 · US Something wrong.: So every time I open the game and press play it turns to small screen and I do not no how to reverse it or fix it so can You fix it devs?
  7. [R11] Sniper Shooter 5/5 · US Easy to play: Fun and easy to operate!
  8. [R12] Sniper Shooter 3/5 · US Good game, lots of fixes needed.: So, I start the game off. The game screen doesn’t even fit on the full screen of mine. And I can’t start the mission because it gives me such a small screen that cannot maneuver.
  9. [R6] Sniper Shooter 3/5 · US Way Too Expensive: I’m in my mid 50’s and well established therefore I can honestly say that $7.99 a week is way over priced. What I compare as windows 95 era graphics. If you see people dumping after a week consider making a little off of many vs. a lot off of few which is the new norm. $.99 a mo paid up front for a year is completely doable. I may be one way off, but that’s what I see.
  10. [R7] Sniper Shooter 1/5 · US Scam: In game purchases are just scams
  11. [R10] Sniper Shooter 2/5 · US Fix the store: I bought something from the store and I got nothing wast of money
  12. [R13] Sniper Shooter 2/5 · US Attention: I purchased weapons and the sniper shooter vip. It did not give me the vip or the weapons. It basically took my money. That’s bad business
  13. [R16] Sniper Shooter 2/5 · US STOLE 2 DOLLARS FROM ME: I wasted 2 dollars to get a new sniper and I don’t have it, It’s making me pay more !! That’s ridiculous 😡
  14. [R19] Sniper Shooter 2/5 · US Cant get the good guns: I purchased the upgraded version and it told me i cancelled the subscription, i went to my account and it showed i purchased the upgraded account. So i went back and attempted to use the better gun and it still would not let me!!
  15. [R15] Sniper Shooter 3/5 · US iPad won’t work: The IPad won’t go in fullscreen and starts to annoy me. I don’t know if it’s any other Tablet/IPad. I’m pretty sure you won’t recommend IPad for this. The game is pretty good though, in the phone. The game is Awesome!
  16. [R30] Sniper Shooter 1/5 · US poor scaling, expensive: Screen scaling is way off (M1 12.9 iPad) - also it’s not worth $400+ a year.
  17. [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!
  18. [R100] Sniper Strike 2/5 · US Kinda iffy: This game has potential but is much pay to play, and it kinda tricks you into giving $$. It took me a min to figure out what was happening, but it shows you what needs to be upgraded, and as soon as you upgrade, it says you need something else. Its pretty deceptive, to cost as much as it does to add gold and $$…i wouldnt have spent 1/2 the $$ & gold i spent, had i known what it was gon
  19. [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
  20. [R79] Sniper Strike 2/5 · US Too many ads: Jumbled mess with too many ads
  21. [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
  22. [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.
  23. [R105] Sniper Strike 3/5 · GB Gameplay good everything else frustrating: Ads are terrible, not only because they are mostly for Crypto and all sorts of scam games that promise to pay out, but half the time they just don’t end, or you end up not getting the reward because the commercial is just going nowhere after 30 seconds. Game itself would be good but gets really difficult without perks which are in real short supply. When
