  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. [R2] War Sniper 5/5 · US Omg: This game is so cool no ads at all and it lets you learn patience
  3. [R11] War Sniper 5/5 · US Five stars: This game super fun and it has lot of action
  4. [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
  5. [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.
  6. [R7] War Sniper 1/5 · US Horrid: Prioritizes you spending irl money on power ups to get through the levels midway in the game.
  7. [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.
  8. [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.
  9. [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 !!!!!!!
  10. [R19] War Sniper 2/5 · US Long time player: I really loved this game. I was able to get pretty high in game without spending money, but watching adds for rewards.I just had a add that was trying to scam me in to believing my memory was full and wanted to make me believe it was from Apple ( compete with count down timer) I really hate to leave because I’ve really been enjoying my progress,for my security I’m done! I did enj
  11. [R27] War Sniper 3/5 · US Fair: Good game but way too many bugs! Freezes when you try to collect rewards!
  12. [R16] War Sniper 2/5 · US It sucks after a while: I got sick of the non stop ads and stopped playing it
  13. [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
  14. [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
  15. [R30] War Sniper 3/5 · US Couldn’t play: Loved the intro but was unable to figure out how to play.
  16. [R40] War Sniper 1/5 · US 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
  17. [R63] 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).
  18. [R66] 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.
  19. [R69] 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?
  20. [R70] Sniper Shooter 2/5 · US Fix the store: I bought something from the store and I got nothing wast of money
  21. [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.
  22. [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
  23. [R45] War Sniper 3/5 · GB Same old Ad extravaganza: All these games are becoming so homogenized & tedious. No real skill or effort required, just grinding from level to level with the same old intrusive, asinine ads & attempts to wheedle money out of people! My god! Change the format! Do something genuinely original! All these games are exactly the same! DELETED! UPDATE: To developers question: When I am bombarded by unso
