- [R1] War Sniper War sniper: I really dislike the energy system and you spend more time in a tank then you do sniping
- [R9] War Sniper 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.
- [R66] Pure Sniper Pay to play: The game itself is a lot of fun, but don’t be misled. It is a major pay to play game, and it is run by particular clans headed by the developers and silver spoon players who spend thousands upon thousands of dollars on in game gold and use cheats like aim bots to get ahead of everyone else and claim the top of the leaderboard. I know this because I’ve been playing this game for over 3
- [R75] Pure Sniper Too many upgrades required: Too many upgrades required, missions are too short, always asking for money🤬😘🤬graphics good
- [R21] War Sniper Good but bad controls: Fire control on the left means it a bad experience
- [R40] War Sniper Don’t waste your time: It is fun for the first day. After that every time they require you to upgrade your weapons it puts you in a 10 minute wait. Oh yeah you can bypass the wait if you PAY THEM. You have to upgrade your weapons after every couple of rounds. It’s a complete joke. So their response had nothing to do with the amount of cash I have. I have the cash. It still makes you wait to u
- [R85] Pure Sniper Another Minirip Pile of Feces: Typical scam for upgrades. Once you get to a certain level, you are basically FORCED to pay. Piss poor play control plaques the game and you basically can’t advance fairly without being fleeced. Aquire target, headshot & game responds “Target survived shot”. I just got my anus ripped six ways to Sunday 7 times in a row until out of energy and that’s after hitting bo
- [R96] Pure Sniper Sniper game: Really disappointed as you upgrade but then you have to keep upgrading for each mission. You then get so far and then you can’t continue unless you upgrade your weapon but don’t have the money to upgrade. Ended up deleting as it’s quite frustrating. It’s a shame as it’s a great game.
- [R27] War Sniper Fair: Good game but way too many bugs! Freezes when you try to collect rewards!
- [R36] War Sniper 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
- [R70] Pure Sniper Issues w/WiFi: Needs Work
- [R81] Pure Sniper Pure Sniper Pure fun: Horrible energy system disgraceful. But still superb game
- [R6] War Sniper 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.
- [R69] Pure Sniper Fun game but you have to pay eventually: Cool game that will last you a week or 2 until the delivery for sniper upgrades which are needed to play a boss level hit a point where you have to pay for gold or dollars no matter what if you want to have fun and play consistently. Upgrades start costing crazy amounts.
- [R91] Pure Sniper Pay to play: Stop making games that you have to pay to play constantly
- [R13] War Sniper 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 !!!!!!!
- [R54] War Sniper 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
- [R112] Pure Sniper Becoming cynical!: The game always had a good balance between being challenging without being far too difficult. However, the latest update has presented Big Boss levels that are almost impossible to achieve without spending loads of money on slow motion lives. Was great, now just profiteering…
- [R120] Pure Sniper SCAM: This game is focused more on selling you gold and cash to get upgrades than it is actually having a good experience playing the game. Disappointing.
