A Thorough Review
Tue Jan 28 2025 TheRealSniper579I’m not going to lie, I didn’t have much in the way of expectations when I downloaded this game, thinking it was going to be a run of the mill mobile game. How wrong I was. Overall, the game is incredibly good, and not just by mobile standards. The missions truly make the player feel like a sniper, with realistic hit man-type situations involving waiting from a vantage point until the target appears and taking action. It’s a refreshing break from all the fast paced action shooters where sniper rifles are just another weapon, instead embracing how snipers operate in real life. The missions have a good overall variety, with map and objective combinations being similar but never identical. Another great thing about this game is how the difficult progresses. For example, in the beginning, you simply aim and shoot. However, later on, bullet drop over distance and wind resistance all have to be factored in to take a good shot. The only issues I have with the game are the soundtrack which, while being a decent one and fitting the game well, is repetitive, and the fact that most weapons are either locked behind paywalls or insane amounts of hard to earn currencies. Other than these things, the Sniper 3D remains a fun experience and is an overall great game, balancing gameplay and plot in a way I’ve never before found on mobile.
Kinda good
Sun Apr 25 2021 timlovesstrawberriesThe game itself is amazing, I like the realistic appearance, and how it has these little thing like the wind is blowing 20mph, or the target is 100 ft away, the upgrades are cool, but I wanted to suggest something, so when u start upgrading something and u have to wait like an hour I feel like there should be an option to speed it up by watching ads, sometimes I don’t want to spend my diamonds, also way to many ads like after every mission u get and ad it gets annoying, also idk what it is I tried deleting and installing again but I don’t have the option to watch ads for diomends
or to refill my energy, I feel like u guys should add more option so like I could watch an add to earn money or and upgrade or something like that, I will be willing to do so
The game is also a little pay to win, I wish the offers were a little more realistic not like, oh here is a discount 6,500 diomends when I have like 6,400 diomends. another thing is I wish once u finish a city u would get like 100 diomends so u could refill ur energy, yeah I’m on the last city and I like the game but yeah
Also I know I can’t spell diomends correctly I don’t have the auto correct on
ADS SO MANY ADS
Sat May 16 2020 cmonrllyAs far as gameplay goes, I really enjoy this one! There’s a lot of content and for a mobile game I actually find it really engaging and well designed. For a game of good quality I don’t even mind the occasional ad, and their premium offer is something I wouldn’t spend money on but I can see why people would. Their diamond “premium currency” in game is a little overpriced for my taste, but I think it seems comparable to what I’ve seen in plenty of other mobile games.
Having said that, THEY ARE GOING TO FORCE AN AD DOWN YOUR THROAT EVERY 15 SECONDS. Not an exaggeration, if it’s not a third party ad it’s them constantly begging for more of your money in game by bombarding you with “sweet deals” that are way cheaper than the stores prices, and if you don’t want to make the purchase they add an extra two screens of “just making sure” you don’t want to cash in on this “sweet deal”. EVERY. TIME. It ruins the whole experience for me. If the ads were trimmed down to even a third of what they are now I would’ve given this game a much higher score. It just makes it seem like the developers don’t care about how it interfaces with your user experience and like this whole thing is just a quick money grab. It really cheapens the value of an otherwise quality game.
TLDR: great gameplay, way too many ads. Like an unbearable amount.
Pure Frustration
Wed Feb 17 2021 Disgusted 1969This game used to be quite fun but since I have reached Bear status it’s been very unfair and disappointing. Sometime between 1/1/21 & 1/4/21, 14,000 of my diamonds just disappeared. I have reached out to the developers, explained what happened, asked for a ticket number and status update and here it is February 17 and still no response from developers and no reimbursement of my diamonds. Also, I played the first two PVP Squad wars of the new year and received no rewards from the wars(We won both). I also let the developers know that also and no response. As to my prior comment unfairness, I am now a golden bear but during wars and arena challenges, 99% of the time I am going against a minimum of 5 skulls and the rest lions. Very seldom do I compete against fellow bears or lower or anyone who has a comparable gear rating. This game is getting very frustrating and discouraging. The only thing that keeps me coming back is my fellow veterans who I Squad War with. If it wasn’t for them I would be gone. It’s not fun to play a game when the playing field is not fair and you lose rewards (diamonds, battle coins, coins) that you fought very hard for. Until these issues get fixed I will not spend another dime on this game and if my fellow veterans (who are having the same issues) decide to leave the game, I will be following them. Get this stuff fixed and remedied developers. This is getting old. Give me back my diamonds and level the playing field.
Issues that need to be addressed/ to be wary of.
Sun Apr 14 2019 i. love.Alright their are multiple problems, the first and most prevalent is that is is highly unrealistic, not only in the missions and overall combat bad but the deaths of the targets, the targets/graphics, and the weaponry prices are unrealistic and angering. Speaking of prices, this game is basically a cash grab, it gives you little currency per mission, sets guns at crazy high prices, and at very turn advocates you to buy diamonds to pay for them, even in the missions it may give you a free one use of a high level gun then tell you to buy it, I see why the developers did this, but it doesn't mean I like it. The only good thing about this situation is you can watch videos to get free diamonds, and unlike other sniper games, it gives you a fair amount of diamonds per ad, but while we are the topic of ads some of them are to hefty and can crash the game, which is frustrating to say in the least. Another mechanic I have a problem with is the energy bar, I know almost every sniper game gives you a set amount of energy but it doesn't mean that this is a good mechanic, it only serves to pressure the player to buy energy to play this game, which I dislike in most situations. The only reason I play this game is because I like sniper games but overall I would still say that this game is bad to say in the least.
Ads constantly!
Thu Aug 01 2019 DepruettI’ve been playing this game for quite a while. It makes for a good time waster when you’re waiting in line, etc. I appreciated that although it’s not flashy, it’s fairly stable, and they at least gave you the opportunity to play for free without having to jump through too many hoops. But all that changed with the last update. Now the game is buggy - daily bonuses don’t show up half the time, things take longer to load, and worst of all, they’ve started pumping ads every few minutes now. If you don’t pay for Premium, you already had to watch a lot of ads to progress through the game. But now they randomly pop up every few minutes. I don’t begrudge them making money, but the pendulum swung from reasonable to awful, literally overnight. If the change had been accompanied by some major value-add upgrade, it might not be so bad, but this game is mostly just recycled backdrops, NPCs, and side missions from one level to the next. The gameplay is really repetitive, particularly in the side missions and PVP, but even the main missions get recycled - which, again is fine for a free time-waster kind of game, but not when you’re seeing ads every two minutes. The game just doesn’t offer enough variety to justify me spending any more time with it.
Typical Cash Grab Company
Mon Jan 31 2022 JaredDavis0310Just like the title says, it’s a typical move from a typical company. Not only does it require an insane weekly 9.99 for the “premium” pass, but it also tries to lure you into paying that fee by giving you a free trial. If you are gullible enough to accept this free trial, you accept the terms that you get one week free. But, the catch is that if you don’t cancel it within the week you then begin to get charged 9.99 per week. At that rate, if you had this game for a year it would cost you over $500, which is an outrageous number considering most console games that are actually well developed only have a one time cost of $60. I can only assume this type of cost system is targeted towards small children. Of course little boys will be drawn to this type of game and it’s clear the game is meant for them. The levels are boring and repetitive and they clearly put little to no work into the structure of this game. It’s obviously a cash grab scheme targeting small children. They lure them with violent content that they find exciting, get them to accept the free trial, and thus get their parents card charged 9.99 a week. For struggling parents who are unaware of this charge, this could be devastating to them. This app is sick and disgusting and I can’t believe games like this are allowed in the App Store when their motive is so clear.
PVP is unfair
Wed Jun 26 2019 I only speak faxSo I like this game, I really do, but some things just need to be fixed. There a a lot of problems with the game but the pvp mode is one of the big ones. I really think it was good you added PVP to the game but, the problem is the pairing algorithm. I get into a match right? Before I can even spot someone, another guy kills me within two shots. While I sit there shooting with my sniper with a 3 bullet mag. Worse part is, my shot does AT THE MOST 1 damage out of 200. Even without my victim spotting me while I sit there shooting for 10 minutes straight, the match would’ve ended before I got to kill one player! Now sometimes I get in to a match with people weaker than me, and they don’t stand a chance! I think it’s really unfair that you pair people the way you do, whatever that is, it just doesn’t work! Don’t let people use the same guns from the campaign mode, because if they’re new to PVP but have been playing campaign for a long time, they are basically going to win every match. That’s just one problem. I know development is hard when it comes to a video game but with the great game you’ve created, I think it wouldn’t be too much of a problem to change the little things that ruin the entire game. Also, the so called “mods” in the world ops mode, I bought one with 500 gems and the next day, it disappeared! This game needs some work, REALLY!
2/5
Sat Mar 17 2018 ssoltis144I have to admit that this game is very addicting and that it is just a great game in general. I have been playing this for a while and I have noticed quite a few things that kind of ruined it for me. For one, you have to wait so much in this game. You have energy bars and I think there I like 10 of them, so that means when it’s full, you get to play about 10 games. When you use all of the energy up, you have to wait for it to refill, which can take a while. Also, when you are upgrading guns of higher tiers, the upgrades take so long to come in. It used to take only like 5 minutes, but now I have to wait a half an hour just to get one upgrade. Another thing that I realized is that the developers of this game are super money hungry. As you play this game, you start to realize how much they beg you for money. I’ll also mention that they have an ad like every 30 seconds! It’s almost impossible to et a good gun without having to pay for gold and diamonds. All of the good guns cost so many diamonds and the diamonds take forever to build up! One of the only ways to get diamonds is by watching ads. In conclusion, this is a good game, but there is so much waiting in it and the app developers are money hungry. To be completely honest, I don’t even suggest you get this game.
Garbage
Mon Feb 10 2020 Salami65The game can be fun, if you have deep pockets. Oh, and if they ever fix the bugs. If you don’t spend you won’t get far in pvp or world ops. Campaign is fun but the more you progress, you’re only able to do one or two missions before you need to buy an upgrade. The higher upgrades take 30 minutes before you can equip them, but if you have a ton of gems (deep pockets) you can get them instantly. The “discounted” weapons are just out of reach with your current gold or gem amount, but if you drop a couple bucks, you can get them. Pvp is lopsided. You enter the arena, or whatever it’s called, just to find out that you’ve been paired with players that are ridiculously more powered than you are. If you get 2 kills, you’re doing pretty good. Meanwhile the person that takes first has like 13 kills (he’s a big spender so he’s got all the best weapons and gear). And here’s where the bug issue comes into play. For over a month we haven’t been able to access anything to do with your squad. Squad chat just became “available” about a week ago. You can’t leave your current squad to join a new one and if you didn’t have a squad, you can’t create or join one. Not to mention the bonuses that are supposed to be paid out after the pvp and world ops, aren’t being paid out. If I were able to give less than 1 star, I would.
