Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Wow this game is great! We love the gyro aiming and horrendously creepy environment, makes us feel like Im in a zombie apocalypse.
We love this game so much because we like to challenge a friend and its so fun to do this. We keep beeding them. So easy and they keep losing they do not even know how to play red means take away and green means give points so easy for us.
But can you please add a vr mode.
This game is awesome. Remember playing back in 2013, game is not as popular but we still find a match instantly! Definitely holds up in 2020. Only issue is the scoreboards, there is definitely some cheaters on them, and they are not registering our wins , and we would like to see more than 6 guns, although we doubt it will happen because of the games age. Just glad this game is still available to enjoy in 2020.
This game is literally the definition of simulation. Awesome physics and awesome gameplay. This game deserves to be called Shooting showdown. A few new weapons would be nice like the desert eagle called the hawk 44. And some other new weapons. Other than that great game.
This game is so fun we love it so much.
But the ads are a freakin nightmare! We get hit by a video ad thats 5 seconds long, and it keeps repeating, appearing no matter what Im doing, over an over until we have to close the app. If its still happening next week this app will be gone, and we will not be suggesting it to anyone so they dont get mad at us.
The game is a great game but in order to get new guns you have to pay over 5 dollars or you could spend 5 years to get 1500 coins so we dont like this game that much.
We like it but it quickly gets boring one reason is because its so pracey and when you complete a pvp it will only give you like 2 coins and it takes like 20 coins just to upgrade plus the guns cost like 50000 coins and that is why we only give it 2 stairs plus to much ads and is really boring.
Needs new point system to make weapons and upgrades more achievable. Highest point level only gives you 9 points and the highest weapon is set at 9000 points. You would have to play this game hours on end and probably years to achieve weapons let alone upgrades for it.
Whenever we play our game crashes and it keeps doing the same thing.
We dont write reviews often but this crap cant be ignored. After months of not playing we came back to this game. Now it is littered with ads in your face and even ads that interrupt timed game play. You have to exit an add to continue to aim… Impossible to enjoy, utter crap. Nice work guys, proud of your accomplishments? You wont be earning any $ any longer. Good luck with your new hoops games. Off to a great start.
Like anything else full of adds and takes forever to get a decent weapon.
There needs to be cheaper guns everything else is fine.
This game is a blast when your bored.
This game is a great trainer and mind enhancer.
THIS GAME IS ADDICTING JUST ADD GUN SKINS KEEP IT UP.
Takes forever to find an opponent.
This game is sooooo awesome we don't want you to change a thing.
Good game, smooth, nicely done ,fun but multiplayer could be faster.
Ok. It's fun but a little hard to use.
Needs more players very addicting.
We love shooter games and this was the best one ever bravo bravo.
It's a great shooter game for killing time.
Been playing for a week now and been very stable and fast startup. We wish there were more players on the multiplayer but practice is fun too.
You should make the guns cheaper.
Can you add a m134 minigun and a m4 g36k thanks :).
We love this game so so so much it's the best game in the world thanks.
This game is awesome best shooting game ever. Really happy with it.
We love the game it is just great. We love meeting new people and playing-).
We love it… We play it all day.. In our opinion we love it! It's really fun if you're a shooter, and if you can go shooting this game is always here.
Best free shooting game we've found in the App Store.
This app is addicting and fun. We love upgrading our guns.
One of the best shooting games we've ever played. It's super fun and will blow u away how much fun u will have. Great pocket game.
This game is awesome…fun to play with friends.
This is an awesome game it's a good thing we're practicing here then next week we do duh real ding.
People rage quit too much!! We haven't lost yet lol.
This game is so cool whoever is reading this get it NOW.
This is a good game that is not violent. Fun to play.
We just started but so far it's pretty cool. It's interface is really smooth.
Overall it's fun however u have to play your heart out just to get coins to upgrade and then lately our claim coins wouldn't work. It just keeps trying to connect and then goes back to try and claim.
Doesn't give enough money to buy anything.
Its not the a shooting game for us. We're not saying it's bad but in our opinion we don't "love" it. It's OK.
It's ok for the first few minutes. Gets boring quickly.
The accuracy is way to exaggerated how in the heck a bullet going to go a different direction after every shot doesn't make sense and the prices to upgrade your gun is outrageous.
It says to tilt flat to get more bullets but when we do nothing happens.
Shooting range and gun upgrade process is great. Playing against real players is pretty much useless. Takes forever to find players and you get less in game coins than just playing the single player shooting range. Game would be fantastic if there was additional functionality like a single player game mode where you use the guns unlocked to play through a story.
It used to be a great game. Then you updated it and now the pistols are horribly inaccurate, there is no consistency to shot placement at all. That's not real life.
This game is awful. We would love to be able to give no stars. The aiming of the guns are piss poor and in controllable. Do not waist your time with this app. The creators should be disappointed in them selves for publishing this.
