NERF LASER OPS PRO Reviews

by J86532

The added app looks like it could add more playability to Laser Ops, but NERFLASEROPSPRO is very frustrating trying to connect multiple iPhones. I have made 3 new apple accounts for my sons iPhone 5S, after reading the developer reviews, and still cannot connect multiple devices for these laser blasters.

We can use multiple laser ops blasters on one device, but we really could like to try each having their own device per blaster.

Also, solo player isn’t an option because you need a phone mount for it- which it did NOT include in the 2 pack. Apparently the mount is only included in the single blasters.

NERFLASEROPSPRO is almost as disappointing as the Recoil brand... but at least with the Nerf version we do not need to connect any devices, or we could use a single device- but still a let down.

Hey nerf team, please reach out to me and let me know why some of the guns do not show points at the end of a multiplayer around. My boys and I have been playing this for a couple weeks now and I’ve yet to be able to record all of our points when we play. This is really frustrating since we want to know who wins. Please reach out to me if you have answers.

It's not that NERFLASEROPSPRO only works in landscape. Or only works in portrait mode. NERFLASEROPSPRO doesn't rotate AT ALL. No matter which direction you're holding your device. NERFLASEROPSPRO presents 180° degrees from how I normally use my iPad.

(I'm not happy with the iOS 10 requirement either, although I understand that's probably more an Apple thing than a developer thing. If I'm letting my kid run around like crazy with a device strapped to the end of their laser blaster, it's going to be an older, almost obsolete piece of hardware and not my current phone.)

The game works well and the additional features are fun but the game customization could be better. Specifically the team mode where you should be able to choose teams. I also wish you could actually put names and I haven't been able to find out how to do that yet.

I was pretty skeptical before purchasing this blaster but then it was like Adam partook of the fruit and everything turns great and bad at the same time. It was greatly programmed but whenever I reloaded the gun my nipples started to feel like it was asleep and started to tingle but it goes away after a couple minutes.

Not the best purchase but really fun when your bored. I still think that fortnite monopoly makes my nipples feel the best!

Your app support link isn’t helpful at all so I’m leaving a review to hopefully fix an app issue. The “Radar” power up will not unlock for me. My first run I scored a little over 11,000 and only unlocked the first power up, so I ran it again and got about 1,200 and it still didn’t unlock. My sister ran her’s and scored 1,400 and unlocked both power ups immediately? I reset NERFLASEROPSPRO and scored 29,000 and it still won’t unlock. Can you help fix please?

The blasters and app are fun to play with. I think maybe adding a mode without the timers for a last one standing game would be fun. I have one major issue. Whenever I level up my blaster and add the skill points, NERFLASEROPSPRO glitches out and resets my blaster when I go back in NERFLASEROPSPRO . Please fix this!

I’m the 95% happy owner of 10 of these blasters, and I’m happy to change my rating to 5 stars once this is resolved. My issue is that the rematch feature is tricky. The blasters have to be off before you ever hit the rematch button. If you hit the rematch button while the blasters are on, you can forget it because now you’ll have to completely close out NERFLASEROPSPRO (flick it off the screen for iPhone users) and then restart it. Deal breaker?—no Annoying—yes? It seems like the blasters should be able to connect once you turn them off and try to reestablish connection, but it doesn’t.

Also the records for blaster against blaster don't work at all so it’s hard to brag about your all time record against your friends. If you select your blaster and then click all time record and then search the EXACT name of the blaster you’d like to compare to, nothing happens except that the blaster for which you just typed the exact name for to compare now switches places in the first line as if you basically just switched blasters. Maybe it’s because I own all of the blasters, but that doesn’t seem to make sense. Anyway, I hope the developers don’t get lazy with a money grab project and instead continually work on NERFLASEROPSPRO and the way it works with the blasters because this is a really fun product that is really good but could be great with some improvements.

I got an entire arsenal of 24 blasters, but NERFLASEROPSPRO can only work with 6 blasters in single-device multiplayer! There is absolutely no mention of this anywhere. You can add as many blasters as you want in the lobby and start the game... But add more than 6 and the final scoring will screw up.

I realize that this may be due to simultaneous Bluetooth connection limitations, but you can implement the scoring phase such that it downloads data from the blaster and then disconnect it, looking for the rest.

Please rectify this problem! NERFLASEROPSPRO is stable otherwise.

I'm totally blind, but that doesn't stop me from enjoying a great game of laser tag. I simply listen to where my enemys are, and shoot in that general direction. Please add support for Apple's built-in screen reader, VoiceOver.

Update: it’s now 10 April. There still no voiceover support. I absolutely love laser tag, but it’s really not that hard to get in to NERFLASEROPSPRO. Come on, Hasbro. Please put voiceover support in to the application.

Update:
It’s now June 2019, and there is still no voiceover support. I own two laser ops pro blasters. Did I waste my money? Right now, it certainly seems so. Update: it is now December 21, 2019. There is (again), no VoiceOver support! I'd really like to be able to use this application, but it really seems to me that Hasbro doesn't care. I now own four Alpha Points, and two Delta Bursts. Please don't get me wrong, the blasters themselves are very fun. I wouldn't have purchased aditional blasters if they weren't. It's the application that's unusable. Please, Hasbro! If you really do care about your customers, then please release an update that addresses UI bug fixes for VoiceOver users, as well as additional customization options for your blaster. Thank you very much for taking the time out of your day to read this review. I'll very gladly give this application five stars, once the application is useable.. December 28

I would like to see more customization options for the blasters such as fire rate, etc. and it would be more fun if you didn’t have to level up the blasters in the game, but instead it would just be straightforward, all-access customization. Basically you would have a menu where you could change the health, damage output, and type of fire mode whenever you want. This would let there be more skill involved when playing, and you wouldn’t have to rely on the phone so much to have a good blaster. You should just be able to hook up as many guns as you want to a single phone, then change all the guns’ options from there, then save, then turn off the phone and have each blaster set to a new standard that they would follow until changed again by the phone. You should be able to just pick up the guns whenever you want and not have to get out a phone, download NERFLASEROPSPRO , and all of the suddenly realize that your gun is so much better/worse than everybody else’s. The game would not be as fun. Again, you should be able to change each guns stats however/whenever you want, so you could level out all the guns to have an even playing field. The point being, it is very tedious to have to level up every single gun you buy in order to have a fair game.

Thanks

I recently bought the guns and NERFLASEROPSPRO but I can’t seem to play with others on the same g.mail/ Apple ID account. Could there be anyway you can make it so people on the same iTunes account can play with eachother?

by Cobin G.

This is definitely a great set for laser tag, it works well, and there are a ton of options to play with, the one thing that is missing is that you can’t play with uneven teams on one device. if you think about it, you may want to play with 2 better players against 4 ok players, and if not everyone has access to a device, it makes for a very predictable game

The grind of single player mode gets really boring really fast although the upgrades are worth it. I wish there were more single player options with more diversity in what you shoot at other than the same drones in different colors that take more hits.

Also the 3rd upgrade says to get 1000 points in single player. I’ve gone far beyond 1000 and still haven’t gotten the upgrade.

All functions regarding multiplayer have worked fine.

by JediTano

Pros:
• alphapoint fires almost 2X as fast when using multiple devices for multiplayer.
• by leveling up through either multiple device multiplayer matches or single player you can increase the Heath, ammo, damage per shot, Heath regen and damage of power shot!
• decent amount of customization including 3,5,10 or 15 min matches, allowing power ups or not and free for all or team matches.

Cons:
• Deltaburst has a lower max shot damage than the alphapoint and fires slower. Shame they never updated it to end with a higher shot damage to compensate.
• single player is ok but at level 8 and above the drones health keeps increasing but the points from them remains capped once you get to level 7. Should increase the points since the exp you get is based on overall points before you are disabled.

I had NERFLASEROPSPRO on my Samsung tablet and I couldn’t do single player but I got a apple phone 5 and it worked like a charm. There were a couple problems/bugs though:
Even though I reached 1000 points The radar power up didn’t work until I went to the settings and turned on location for NERFLASEROPSPRO
And creating a one device multiplayer game didn’t work until I did the same thing in the settings

But an overall Great app. Love it.

Really pleased with NERFLASEROPSPRO

Hasbro... some suggestions
Maybe do a bit more with single player like maybe add something else besides drones like maybe robots that are easier to hit

And lower the level required to get a second level for a upgrade (like from 7 to 5 or something) but just some thoughts

And Maybe add a duel option so you only get 1 or 2 shots and you have to disable your opponent before they disable you

Same as other reviewers, we love the game but we haven’t been able to see the scores from all the players. When it works it works wonderfully and when it doesn’t it is frustrating. We want to know who won!

by Man O Truth

Super great game. As I’m typing, my phone is on my gun.👍🏻I have a few ideas. Make single player have robots or something. Not lame drones. Also, make single player two player. Have two people able to join a match of single player. Also add a motion sensor so I can walk away from drones instead of holding still.

When I hear about laser ops pro and how it works, my mind was immediately racing. This is perfect for any time where you want to have a nerf war, but don’t want to pick up darts or have a high risk of losing a lot of darts. I told my friends about it and together we collected 10 blasters. They all work great, and my friends and I had an entire nerf war dedicated to laser tag. It was a blast, but what we found was the most fun was using extra blaster as capture points. To capture it, you would shoot the blaster until it was out, and then you would switch it you your own team. We ended up playing a large scale conquest game, with 5 capture points, and it was a frenzy. I think that laser ops pro has a lot of potential but I am a little concerned. There hasn’t been any talk of new blasters, and there hasn’t been a new update in 2 months. I think there are a few things that could be done to make this better like being able to set the health amount to something specific for everyone, or a limited reload and limited lives. You could also make a command hub to sell, that can be captured or used as a respawn point. And perhaps even be able to be worn, so that a person with a dart gun can tag people with laser tag guns and people with laser tag guns could shoot the receiver worn on the dart persons chest, allowing for cross compatibility. I think there is a lot of potential for this, and I would really like to see more in the future!

by Steve M Blockson

I have the Laser Ops Classic blaster, and it’s not syncing. Can you update this if you haven’t already to be able to use the classic blasters? They are cheap, but still cost the money. If you can’t for NERFLASEROPSPRO, maybe make another where you use the classic blaster? Thanks. Other than that, I give it a 5/5. It’s really fun.

Laser Ops Pro is essentially a response to Recoil and LaserX. NERFLASEROPSPRO that comes with the product is completely optional, but provides many additions to the gameplay. One of the biggest additions is the ability to host your own game. In fact, Hasbro (along with Tiger) tried this stuff all the way back in 2004, with Lazer Tag Team Ops (LTTO). Which used infared light to host games and send data. There is also a single player mode which uses your device’s camera, mounted on the blaster. However, it was actually done back in the year of 2012, but that product was so poorly marketed nobody even knows about it. Another welcome feature is the ability to upgrade your blaster, which can make hosted games very intense.

I think the product is fantastic, but it does have a few minor bugs, which could easily be patched. However, the biggest let-down in my opinion is the lack of backwards compatibility. All blasters from 2004 to 2012 (Deluxe, IRT-2X, TMB, LTX, and LTAR) are all compatible with each other, and all have shield buttons. But since the brand new blasters don’t have them. It seems like Hasbro is trying to start new beginnings.

Do I recommend it, Maybe. If you’re looking for something more expensive then LaserX but cheaper than Recoil, then Laser Ops is the choice for you.

4/5

I really enjoy playing the game with friends and family, good for any occasion. The upgrades and power ups with NERFLASEROPSPRO boost the fun and add a more complexity to the game. I had a thought that would be in "all devices" team battles. Maybe add a voice chat with your team that would show the name of the blaster who is talking by using the phones microphone. I'd really enjoy it.
