  1. [R1] War Sniper 1/5 · US War sniper: I really dislike the energy system and you spend more time in a tank then you do sniping
  2. [R12] War Sniper 3/5 · US Bad physics: At first, it has really good physics but then after it gets pretty bad, but I really like this game
  3. [R24] War Sniper 3/5 · US Too Easy: The shots are from 20 Meters away. Snipers are way further than that. Also bullet drop should be a factor for challenge. Add 200-300 meter shots with having to account for bullet drop, then I’ll play again
  4. [R49] War Sniper 1/5 · US Where’s the sniping? Tank game: Thought I was getting a better Hitman game, instead it’s a tank game…wth
  5. [R21] War Sniper 3/5 · US Good but bad controls: Fire control on the left means it a bad experience
  6. [R27] War Sniper 3/5 · US Fair: Good game but way too many bugs! Freezes when you try to collect rewards!
  7. [R28] War Sniper 1/5 · US Treats you like you are stupid: I love how this game constantly treats you like you are stupid and have no idea how anything works. Thank you so much for having the animation showing me I should tap on “play” or “upgrade”. I really thought I was just supposed to sit there and be a complete idiot. I love how it is constantly shoved in your face in what you need to do. If you don’t pay attention to
  8. [R52] War Sniper 1/5 · US Control settings unavailable: Very enjoyable game otherwise. Consistently stays on control settings screen with spinning star when trying to change HUD layout, therefore game deleted after multiple attempts of loading and re-downloading. Unfortunate.
  9. [R8] War Sniper 4/5 · US Great game……but: In the new update when given the option to watch an ad after you watch the ad a box comes up stating you have to watch the ad to get what is being offered, please fix.
  10. [R13] War Sniper 1/5 · US War sniper: The game is not worth the time or effort. You can’t advance levels without making huge purchases ! The sighting continually drifts when sighting in on targets, support claims it windage ! But a drifting sight is not wind related ! The game honestly isn’t worth the time or expense to play it !!!!!!!
  11. [R36] War Sniper 3/5 · GB Ads don’t work properly: I don’t mind watching ads if it earns you extra points, lives, cash etc. but all too often the ads in this game don’t give you any indication that they’re complete, and if you select the cross that appears in the corner of the screen you frequently don’t win your ‘prize’. Very frustrating. Otherwise a good and challenging game. Update 11 July So I did contact the help des
  12. [R6] War Sniper 3/5 · US Pay to play: You get a few battles then you have to pay or wait several hours to play. Also they call the gold you earn a reward but it isn’t, you have to pay for it.
  13. [R7] War Sniper 1/5 · US Horrid: Prioritizes you spending irl money on power ups to get through the levels midway in the game.
  14. [R9] War Sniper 3/5 · US Fun but….: Game is a lot of fun, but unless you want to spend a lot of money as a VIP, you’ll never be on top. Game is very slanted to those that dump a lot of money into it.
  15. [R25] War Sniper 2/5 · US Bring your wallet: Too bad that there’s the same disparity that occurs in similar games. Players who are at much higher levels than others,infiltrate and spoil the game’s progression. Complaining about it doesn’t affect change. All that is done is a robo response that tells you nothing. Not a bad game. Just bad actors. I don’t spend money on games. If you do, administrators turn a blind eye to the
  16. [R54] War Sniper 1/5 · US Don’t spend money: I played this game and was really into it. I even subscribed to the VIP option to get better weapons. I’ve bought lots of gold as well. It is beyond obvious that the top 3 players are using bots and mods. While I’ve spent money to get a little extra boost. These guys are scoring in one day what it takes me a week to do. It’s become pointless to even try. I’ve emailed the develop
  17. [R70] Sniper Strike 1/5 · US PvP is a Scam: I am sick and tired of PvP mode being a blatant scam lately. I’ve had this game for years, so I’m a “Legend” in PvP, but the last few months have been nothing but matches where I get near-instant “So Close! But they shot first!” messages.
  18. [R16] War Sniper 2/5 · US It sucks after a while: I got sick of the non stop ads and stopped playing it
  19. [R34] War Sniper 1/5 · US Don’t play this game: This game is so boating you can’t move any where and it makes you pay money to shot one fun and there are so many ads it blocks your way of shooting don’t buy this game.
  20. [R5] War Sniper 5/5 · US Great game: Graphicsmehyarfeytonhspoton
  21. [R26] War Sniper 5/5 · US Great Game: It’s a great game to play. Great graphics and game play. Sniper shots are my favorite
  22. [R99] Sniper Strike 3/5 · GB Ok: Yes, great graphics. I get so bored with games that give you good progress in the first few missions, and then force you to wait for upgrades or spend in game cash to speed up. Then you always need to upgrade a weapon to continue, or buy more with real money. Ok, I understand that devs need to make money, but I would rather pay a one off payment for a full game. By the way, it’s very samey aft
  23. [R102] Sniper Strike 3/5 · GB Good game but the money you need to get stuff: I have to say when I first got this game I was ready to be one of those free rip off games but I was surprised. The graphics were remarkably good and the game was well structured. But, along with THOUSANDS of other reviews, this game is literally asking for money. I don’t mines spending a pound or two but the luck of getting exactly what you want are
