Community Insight:
Very good game we play it every day we just think the guns cost a little to much.
So we start this game long time ago it Is a a amazing epic epic epic rage awesome game we got good weapon so yea.
Love this game on it every chance we get been grinding and also spending along the way.Ive noticed a dilemma at level 30,we can only speak for ourselves but noticed being matched with players at level 34 ,most weapons can only be maxed or acquired at level 34 we get it matching is difficult but if your on level 30 and up your in limbo you cant upgrade weapons to stand a chance ,find better teammates heard that before too but if youve been playing this game rogue or solo you know its difficult.Will gladly spend a little more for a game we enjoy but till level 34 your basically target practice.
One of the best mobile FPS games there is.
Ive been playing this game off and on sense it was called Guns Of Boom and not Gods Of Boom and the reason we end up deleting the game each time is the feeling of having to pay to play. And we mean that in the aspect of how much different weapons and consumables cost vs how much your able to earn at the end of each match. And battle passes to earn more perks/rewards are truly a crazy amount of Gold. With all our negative comments being said we cant help but re-download this game over and over because we have yet to find another one that is better overall. Highly recommend and addictive game!! Add us FeartheBeard lets play.
We try to battle but the game keeps on crashing and we get really mad.
Im back because of the classic we remember when you guys changed it to two weapons per load out and we just stopped playing cause sometimes if your opponent has a sniper and you dont it can be very hard to get to them also now that you guys have brought the 4 gun load out back start playing and a lot of other friends that we know started playing over all Im glad that you brought it back but if it goes away the 4 gun load out we will have to stop playing again.
We have played this game since the beginning. We lost our original account and we took some time off. But we like the game so much we started over. We felt lost but we bounce back. We dont put money into the game. Which means we have to grind it out. Thats the trade-off people. Money or grind. There have been some issues here and there. Overpricing hackers. Some glitch issues. But Im always stuck it out and the developers we have always seem to come through in the end.
Fix the game it wont let us get in a game.
Great game, its kinda hard without jumping or vaulting though, maybe a little maps but all in all one of the best mobile shooters out there.
Our dad showed us this game and we love! This game.
We have been playing this game for a while, and it is mediocre at best. The starter guns have too high of a ttk, they do almost no damage, and are always outclassed by any other gun. Overall, the main complaints that we have are that the movement is kinda wonky, we try to go behind a wall but somehow we get stuck in that wall and die. The overall ttk is way too high and the guns are very underwhelming to use.
We got seven headshots and they did 38 damage (your health is 1400).
Our account was lost went to log in only to see Ive been started back at level 1.
We have been playing this game since 2017, appreciate the devs bringing 4 weapon load outs but this game is still pay to win as it was since it was realeased. The matchmaking is terrible, our opponents seem to have the best event weapons and us and our team all seem to be f2p, the game is also too sniper dominant. Every game, there seem to be 2 or 3 campers and its pretty much impossible for AR users to get close to them as they get one shotted instantly. Just nerf the snipers as it just takes out the fun of the game for non sniper users.
All of the real money purchases are over priced for no reason like it makes us not want to buy anything also why do the weapons cost so much when the players are not even level ten yet plus you dont even get 500 dollars from a Match. Over all this game is the biggest pay to win like you dont even have to lose to good gun you can just tell.
We play this game a lot with our younger cousins and they really annoy it.
We saw the picture things and decided to play and it was the SAME BEST GAME EVERRRR.
For gun games Ive played in our life this has to be the easiest Ive played but not in the way you may think. For games to learn in a couple of minutes unlike games that you have to strategize. We were only about 11 years old when we started playing and instantly became good but not because of skill but because of fun. We got to learn game by game on how to become good and what weapons worked for us. This is our favorite game by far and we would recommend to anyone.
We used to play this 24/7 as a kid with our little brother the 2 of us were unstoppable Im just amazed that this game is still up and running in 2025 it makes us happy to know not all our childhood mobile games are dead.
We loved this game and we still do. This game has some many levels and we loved to play everyday. We are willing to play again because we just got a new phone just we are ready to play this.
We love the game but a bug we found is whenever it says your estimated time is 46 it wont put you in the game at all could someone please help fix the bug somehow.
This game is gone because it was developed in russia. Because of the war, all developers were fired, and the company closed. There will be no more updates because of that. The message to unhappy russians putting 0 stars here: it is all your fault.
Es muy buen juego y tengo mucho tiempo jugndolo pero es muy injusto y tonto que haya personas que tienen doble vida comprndolo. De qu sirve jugar sino le puedes ganar al dinero y es imposible conseguir los mismos trajes y accesorios. Deberan hacerlo ms Justo. Solo por eso lo voy a eliminar. Es molesto no poder competir con los dems por que tienen doble vida dos o tres del otro equipo.
Heres an enhanced and more engaging version of your feedback for the game developers of Guns of Boom: Dear Guns of Boom Development Team, First off, we want to express our gratitude for creating such a fantastic mobile shooting game! Guns of Boom is, without a doubt, one of the most enjoyable and accessible games in its genre. Its smooth gameplay and beginner-friendly mechanics make it stand out, and as an avid fan of shooting games, we can confidently say this title is special. However, we believe a few tweaks and new features could elevate the experience even further, turning it into a benchmark for mobile shooting games. Here are some ideas we hope youll consider: 1. Introducing a Battle Royale Mode: Adding a Battle Royale section would bring an entirely new level of excitement. Players could form teams, roam expansive maps, and strategize to outwit their opponents. While you may not need to add complex vehicles like helicopters or tanks (as seen in COD or PUBG Mobile), including a variety of detailed maps and advanced weapon options could really set this mode apart. Imagine the intensity of stealth missions, sniper hideouts, and full-scale shootouts in such a mode! 2. Game Controller Support: Integrating support for external game controllers would drastically enhance the playing experience. Controllers provide faster and more precise movements compared to touch controls, especially in fast-paced scenarios. Currently, the joystick movement and respawn mechanics feel slightly sluggish, which makes it harder to regain momentum during a match. A controller could solve this while also appealing to hardcore gamers. 3. Better Rewards System: Upgrading weapons and gear takes a lot of time because in-game rewards are limited. Not every player can purchase upgrades, especially those of us playing from regions like Ghana, where spending money on games is less feasible. Consider offering more generous rewards for daily logins, completing missions, or participating in special events. Providing free costumes, gears, or even minor weapon upgrades would motivate players to log in daily and feel valued. 4. Expanded Gameplay Modes: Adding variety is key to keeping players engaged long-term. Beyond Battle Royale, you could incorporate modes like: Zombie Survival: Players team up to fend off waves of zombies. Conquest Mode: Short but intense missions where players capture objectives or complete specific tasks under time constraints. Multiplayer Modes: Beyond the current setup, enabling cooperative missions or larger team deathmatches could be incredible. Vehicles such as tanks or four-wheelers could add a fun, tactical layer to the game, especially in larger maps. 5. Weapon and Gear Customization: A customization system for weapons and equipment would go a long way. Allowing players to add unique stickers, skins, scopes, and accessories to their arsenal makes gameplay more personal and rewarding. Weapon customization not only boosts functionality but also creates an emotional connection between players and their gear. 6. Gifting and Communication: Introducing features like a microphone for in-game voice chat and the ability to send friends gifts (like weapons or in-game items) could foster stronger community connections. Communication is especially important for team-based modes, while gifting encourages camaraderie and adds a social element to the experience. 7. Enhanced Stickers and Visual Elements: Adding more stickers and decals for weapons, alongside new cosmetic options, would give players a chance to express themselves through their equipment. Visual appeal always helps maintain player interest. Lastly, we want to emphasize that these ideas aim to complement your fantastic work so far. Even if these updates increase the game size to 2-3GB, many of us would gladly make space for a richer gaming experience! We genuinely believe implementing even a few of these features will drive up your player base and engagement significantly. Thank you for creating such an amazing gameIm excited to see where you take Guns of Boom next. Wishing you great success in all your future updates and projects! Sincerely, Axel Galaxy Addison Walker This version maintains your key ideas but presents them with more clarity, structure, and enthusiasm to make a stronger impression.
We want to be able to use our backbone controller to play this game! Please make this available to users of your game! Thank you.
YO!!!!? The game wont load. Has guns of finally met its final day? Whats going on. 1000s of players need to know. You got people who paid for items in the games just in this week and now what!?. Its game over? Guns of boom explain to us what nth is going on!!!. Please advise.
This was once the best free app we had ever played. By far the best FPS. We stepped away for a while. It looks like they have stopped updating it. Hopefully the team is working on something else but it probably split up.
Love it for what it is. Incredible. Its been a looooooooong time since any major updates or upgrades. At this point its a classic and probably wont change.
When we got this game we thought it will like disappointment of a game also l was bored.
We miss the old desert map that they used to have or the alien maps.
Why is there no Jump button and developers should add crouch and fall damage it would be fun.
When we are losing at the game we dont get kicked out but when we are doing decent and really trying we get kicked out and get a weird not connected message also add mic usage.
Please add controller compatibility.
We were expecting this game to be just another crappy, low-budget shooter. But oh boy was we wrong This game exceeded our expectations a thousand times over. Its exactly what you want if youre looking for a shooter game thats not too hardcore, its perfect for kids under 13 or 14, and its just a good game. The currency earnings are perfect for how much play goes into each game, and thank goodness the guns are easy to purchase. Thank you so much for finally making a good Apple AppStore cartoon shooter.
Its like tf2 but with no classes and its mobile.
Hey we love this game but every game we win and we get no gunbucks can you make it you get more money or something.
Need to add aim and shoot at same time but still 5/5 stars gg.
We have so many guns and items we want to refund to get gunbucks/gold back can you pls add.
Can you all please update the game or gone and put it on a console please you all are letting a great game go that is needed and im sure im not the only person thinking this, thank you in advance -LoopGawdPugh.
Pleaseeeeee update the game and the battle pass!!!!!!! Spent some money on the game and still no update.
Fun game we think you should add a jump or slide button so it feels real good job with the bots they are good and the real people just a few more things in the game and it would be perfect thank you for the game.
We love this game plssss make it compatible with the backbone.
Please add a practice range or something because we get we gun but we dont know how it shoots or how much damage it dose .but overall amazing game.
We love it and it feels like you are playing call of duty.
Please bring back the battle fairs.
We think you should get this game.
So we just wanted to say we really enjoy playing the game. We have been binge playing for about 3 months straight now. But we have a couple things we need to address to yall. First off we dont understand with the amount of games we play a day why do we lose as much as we do? It doesnt make sense. And the other thing is the auto aim situation we absolutely can not stand. Ill be aiming at someone and then all of a sudden it shift the aim to another person on its own and it will get us killed. Something has got to be done about that. But overalls yall have made a good game.
We miss playing this game but it needs some updates yall! Please.
Necesitamos ms temticas del juego como antes eventos de armas y otras cosas ms es muy divertido.
