Hunter Assassin Reviews

by Grizzly-Gaming

After playing for a few hours and trying to get the faster characters I must rely on keys to unlock more characters because “random” gems are unlocking from worst to best, levels last about 30 seconds and after each one there is a 1 minute add. Want more gems? Watch an add! Want to unlock more try’s with keys? Watch an add. Oh you didn’t get it a second time? Watch another add. Oh man, you still didn’t get the character? Watch more adds for more try’s. I Click the button and... nothing you collect the gems and are screwed out of a guaranteed character. You WILL spend 4 times the amount of time watching ads vs playing the game. If you enjoy it turn off WiFi and cellular data so you don’t get bombarded with ads. However, I’m uninstalling this right now because I have been robbed of 3 characters in a row on the final key watch an add scheme. Developers like this should be banned from HunterAssassin Store.

This game has a good concept and all, but it executes it very badly and the game ends up too easy. Because of how easy it is, you are spending most of the time watching ads, which are placed after levels, as quests, closing the selection menu, even reopening HunterAssassin from the background. Of course there is the option to remove ads for three dollars but that likely doesn’t even remove the quest ads and I would not like to find out. Then there is the premium. Seven dollars per WEEK is a lot for a mobile game they probably made in twelve hours. It doesn’t even give that much, just a character that makes the game even more unnecessarily easy and some currency and a boost to profits. Normally I like games similar to this, in the rogue-lite genre, but the mere existence of this game is an insult to it. Do not even waste your time on this game unless you like watching ads every five seconds.

I accidentally purchased the $3.00 no ads option. That was my mistake, I’m not blaming that game for that. What I do have a problem with is that even though I purchased the no ads option the game is constantly trying to get me to click onto ads. Showing a link to look at an ad for a bonus and waiting 3-5 seconds to show me a much smaller button saying “no thanks” to be able to move on. It is so easy to accidentally click a button to go to another ad that you can’t get out of without waiting for it to finish or just closing the game. Not to mention the “VIP option” that they have. $6.99 A WEEK for a low tier mobile game that plays more like Ad-Clicker the Game with occasional breaks where you’re an assassin. The gameplay is meh at best. Do not recommend for game play. If you still download it do not waste your money on the no-ads option. It’s a complete ripoff.

Overall it's not a bad game, it's simple and fun and there's genuine rewards to getting new skins. The one huge problem with the game is the view of the rooms. The screen seems more focused on the enemies than the player which is very frustrating. This makes it much harder than it should be to sneak around behind enemies to stab them. But not hard like the game get more difficult as it goes just troublesome to tap the right corner of the screen to be able to see the whole terrain. Occasionally this makes it possible for enemies to sneak up behind you without you noticing because the screen is focused on another group of enemies. This would be easily solved if the camera followed the player around instead of enemies so you could see threats and obstacles from all sides equally.

Great game, simple concept, fun all around. The only thing that brings the game down is the add spam. Now I get you need ands and all but I bought add block and there didn’t seem to be a difference. The amount of adds is just nuts. Anytime there is a loading screen for a 20 second level, add. You want your 3rd quest slot open? Add. You want random box that shows up every 3 levels that’s an add. Oh yeah there is an add for the gems you got at the end, on top of that box with 500 gems. Like I get it but the only thing for me is just that quest add that keeps showing up, like I’d rather that just take up a button in the corner then take up my quest space every time. Other then that love this game, just feel sour after buying add block for the quest space to still have the add mission show up.

There are cool things that could be done such as a sniper that could kill you in one shot or higher difficulty missions that give more gems then normal. Or a 1 time mission where you have to kill and enemy and upon death you get a ton of gems or a skin piece. Maybe enemies with different weapons like shot guns.

Would be nice to add more maps, or a map creator to make your own scenarios

TL;DR: Don’t waste your time giving any money to these insidious developers.
The game is fun, and of course it needs to pay the bills. But it’s only fun until you realize you have to watch a video after every level, to gain the currency, to open “gifts” that pop up in the middle of some levels (of which you MUST watch the video). Granted, some are skippable while most are not.
Now there’s an easy fix: pay a WEEKLY $7 PREMIUM to get NO ADS, ruin the progression system by doubling gem drops, and special access to stronger characters from the get-go. It’s clear this simple game was ruined in the development stage because on LEVEL 3 it is shoved into your face. “Sure, Ok. 3 day free trial then $7/week? No big deal.” Good thing there was a free trial because now I see that there are STILL videos everywhere. Not after completing each level, but to access the aforementioned gifts, to double your currency drops, and THERE IS STILL AN AD BOX BENEATH THE GAME. Honestly stay far away.
The game’s concept is great though, so this I give it a 2/5. Tone down the ads and fix the premium and you’d have a great game.

I always give games that I like, but have too many ads, a four star rating. I like this game. I understand the need for ads, too. But dear lord it’s crazy how many ads this has. On top of having an ad after pretty much every level, you’ll have occasional ads after accessing the character menu in between games. There are also nuanced ad placements, that are there just for game progression. A quest slot will be filled without viewing an ad, if you want any extra characters, you will need to view an ad. The subscription for no ads is very pricey, too. I’m not going to waste my time watching ads for a game I watch ads for half of the time, because quite frankly I can beat the levels in the time it takes to watch an ad. And I’m not going to waste my money paying over twenty dollars a month for a game that doesn’t show in content.

TL;DR: Okay gameplay, ads are not only excessive, they ruin gameplay.

Great game and pretty much reached the end. That means I’ve collected all of the regular players. Since I still enjoy playing I’m trying to collect all of the players in the prize room. The problem is that y’all aren’t living up to your end of the bargain. After I get 3 keys and if I don’t get the player as a prize I click to watch another ad to get three keys. However, I know I’m not going to get the player again so you can show me another ad but when I attempt to get those last 3 keys the game doesn’t show the last ad and only allows me to collect the money I’ve won. If I’m willing to watch an ad for you you need to give me the reward.

For being a game showed to me from an add in another game, it’s pretty decent. Adds have a purpose like getting extra currency and retrying. The fact that you can get the best character in the game by just buying it is fine because it’s a single player game. The levels are copy and pasted but it is slightly seasoned with much more difficult enemies, which there are only 2. There is a blue guy, basic path finding, low damage gun. The red guy is much more difficult. The red guy can sweep the area very well, has a forward facing shield, and a much stronger gun. Another enemy is the diamond one, but it’s practically an AI that has basic path finding and no sort of attack. The levels beyond 150 are incredibly are and there are very little instances of easy levels. 172 is a pain as there are 12/14 enemies advancing towards you from the start. This level made me quit. Overall pretty meh game to past the time. 😐

I’m enjoying this game and was thinking of removing ads (the free game is very ad heavy). But read a review that the remove ads options doesn’t remove all of them. This gave me pause. I don’t have a problem paying money for a game I enjoy but the idea that I’d pay but still have to suffer through them is concerning. $2.99 isn’t bad to remove ads but I’d rather pay as much as $4.99 if I knew they’d all be gone. Right now I don’t know what my $2.99 gets me. So going to hold off. The game without paying is getting untenable so sadly I may have to pass. I guess this is a note more to the developers then other players. $3 or $5 isn’t a big deal to me but need to know what I’m getting. Otherwise a fun game and recommend giving it a try.

This game is pretty lay back considering the levels don’t actually get more difficult they just add more guards. I think it can go somewhere good if they add more to it, for example like having the arena that you’re put change themes, add some sort of blockage to make more difficult, add music ( they have certain sounds when you “kill” somebody but nothing exciting), make more assassins most definitely and maybe make them a little more reasonable to buy/ earn cause the way they have the set up it’s for them to have the consumer be a long term player but we all know our generation hates to spend no longer than a few weeks on a game especially as simple as this one. In conclusion it’s “ight” just needs to be tweaked out so the gamer doesn’t get bored of quickly, hopefully they ( the creators of the game ) update things or make a better version. Thank you.

This is broken for me. I play this game daily and I’ve earned hundreds of the keys for the prize room, however I haven’t earned a single one of the prize room characters. When given the option to see an ad to get more keys to open the 9 boxes, the ad doesn’t start. The collect sign appears and doesn’t give me an opportunity to try to earn the character. I haven’t been lucky enough to win one with the first 3 keys have. It honestly feels like the game purposely chooses boxes opposite of the ones I choose so that I DONT get a prize room character. Idk if anyone else has experienced this as well but it’s honestly irritating and defeats the purpose of earning new characters if I never get a chance to earn said new characters.

. Horrible placement of ad’s. Horrible bait. Very “Cheap”. Would not recommend this game to a friend. Horrible level choice. Stressing bits.
Also:
Creative. Addictive. Fun.

Let’s start with the ad’s.
Every single level there is a ad. This would be okay if they were
short but they are 25-50 seconds long. Very irritating right?
What that has caused is: I play the game less, I only play a level when I am bored, the game keeps me occupied but the flaws keep me away. This game is acting very ya know- cheap. It takes so long for another level because of the ad’s and sometimes it takes so long to not get x2 diamonds that you might think you are supposed to click on it. Each level is 20-30 or 30-50 seconds for me. So sometimes it takes longer to go to another level then playing the game. Also the levels are so weird! I will be on a high level and I will get a low level round, sometimes I get 5 people to kill sometimes I get 3 people to kill and others is 4. But we can’t forget it still, the ad’s. Game would be much better without the cheap look. Less ad’s please! And if could please fix the other flaws others have experienced.

I like the game, as other people have commented a version with better guards. And maybe for those with more mature nature make it so the bodies actually stay and that over time they have a chance to be discovered making killing the rest of the guards that much harder. Also other cosmetic changes as well such as guards being equipped with M16’s and that if a gun is fired all guards investigate and if the one who spots you tells other guards they start a man hunt ( top down Metal Gear solid esk gameplay)

Still 4/5 could be better but great game...

Oh and make a no ad version too. I JUST WANNA PLAY THE GAME!!

by Leader Shko

This game is an excellent game I have started playing this game today but there are so many ads if the ads are fixed this game would become a very nice and great game they just try to make you buy the removed ads and also this premium for 3 days must be removed the game can be a normal game with no in-app purchases these purchases are so weird like they make people to just buy it because they want to make someone to spend like 100$ on this game and thank you hunter assassin but if you remove ads it will be excellent

by DerbyDriver1985

The levels to be procedurally generated, but unlike most mobile games, the AI is just random enough to always provide a new challenge, despite the fact that no new enemies or elements get added at any point after the shield guys.

Still, lots of fun, one of those games I’ll keep installed to play whenever I get bored.

I have some ideas for additions:
1. Add a character that had the ability to stop time, with a cool down- when activated, whenever your finger is touching the screen, time will freeze, but your “freeze” meter will drain. You can choose your path carefully while time is frozen. When you release your finger from the screen, time resumes and your “freeze” meter begins to refill.
2. Add a “boss” enemy that takes several attacks to kill. Each time you hit him, he’s knocked down, until the 5th time in which he stays down. Being spotted by the boss doesn’t count toward your “don’t get spotted” challenge.
3. Add a camera option that locks camera movement to player movement. Sometimes the camera has a mind of its own and it can cause some control issues.
4. Add a “tracker” enemy that will track you around for a greater length of time, if alerted.
5. Add a “survival” mode where new enemies enter the arena in waves, with the goal of getting the highest kill count before dying.
6. Add a wider variety of map styles.

This is the first game that I can see real potential in it. The graphics are simple and family friendly, there’s not a single microtransaction in sight, and skins are more than just highly expensive cosmetic choices, but also give you special boosts. What I’d like to see is a tone down on the ads, more game modes added like Endless Play (You kill as many guards as possible in an infinite room until you die) and Campaign (A simple story with levels that get increasingly more difficult as you progress, with more and more game mechanics thrown into the mix too), more sound effects like a “Huh?” when the guards hear something, “Huh!” when they see you, and “ugh...” when you die, and more unique abilities for possibly modified skins. The ninja can throw ninja stars across a distance, some characters can kill guards quietly without others being alerted, and a new undercover skin that lets you walk around without alerting the guards UNLESS you stab someone up-close within their sight or shoot someone from far away, alerting everybody.

But all-in-all, this is a genuinely great, addictive game. I love it!

I like this game in all because it’s creative and all but here’s the problem: so often when your very hidden you will get spot and when you get to like lv 112 it’s impossible, but if that was fixed then this game is amazing. Also I have a good idea for The game: maybe there could be 2 multiplayer choices where it would be co-op mode where you help the others beat the level and enemies mode where there’s 2 people with there own screen and who ever beats the level 1st wins! 😅😀 soo... I may give this a... killer/gamer kids!

Alright, I’d you’ve seen the other reviews, then you might know what this is about. The ads. There is a huge amount of ads and I almost deleted the game for it. I am on a hard level and it’s annoying me, and when I’m already ticked off, an ad comes. I think “annoying...” and just watch the lords mobile ad that I’ve seen hundreds of times. After that I try the level again. I die. An ad plays. This time it’s a game I’ve only seen 90 times, not a hundred. Repeat the same process. Every. Single. Time. I. Die. I’m not sure if I should keep playing this because after every round, an ad plays. That’s a problem with mobile games. That’s why my games category is almost empty.

This game is amazing! It’s simple, fun, and addictive. It’s kind of like the Pac-Man of assassins. I could see a game like this being put in a Dave N Busters.
The gameplay is easy and straight forward. Only thing I’m not a fan of is even after I purchased the no ads, there were still ads when you unlock a gift. I understand it’s probably their way of generating money for HunterAssassin , but still I feel if you pay for no adds since that’s part of the game line then there probably shouldn’t be any ads there. But aside from that this game is amazing!!!
