Dinsun Review
I’ll give them credit for a unique hook. Instead of just a shooting gallery, it’s a game of 'Where's Waldo' with a rifle. Scanning the environment for that one out-of-place texture is actually somewhat satisfying for about fifteen minutes. But the game doesn't evolve. Once you’ve seen one forest level, you’ve seen them all. The 'AI' is non-existent—enemies just stand there waiting to be spotted.
The shooting mechanics are laughable. There’s no windage, no bullet drop, no recoil. It’s a point-and-click game. It's the kind of title that works as a tech demo or a viral ad, but as a game for an adult who enjoys the genre? It’s hollow. It also suffers from the classic mobile issue of showing you a 30-second ad for every 10 seconds of gameplay. My time is worth more than that.
