Deer Hunter 2018 Reviews

by Justin37844

One of the worst games I’ve ever played, only way to succeed playing this game is to dump large amounts of money to upgrade guns gear etc. this game needs a huge fix or make the game cost 5 bucks and have everything in the game be free because it’s just ridiculous I tried my best and downloaded apps for free gold and what not and it still wasn’t enough to even get past a few regions and I mean I downloaded a ton of apps and got a ton of gold over 100k in gold and it still wasn’t enough and the game glitches sometimes you don’t even get your gold also the customer service was HORRIBLE worst game I ever played in my entire life this company should be sued and or taking off DeerHunter2018 Store because I feel bad for all the people they are taking advantage of while making tons of money and not even making a better cheaper game. I’ll stick with call of duty. Thanks and beware.

DeerHunter2018 is a fun game if you are willing to pay $20 every time you advance to new levels. I have nothing against a game maker making some money to entertain me but these guys take it over the limit. They make SuperCell look like the Salvation Army. And to get gold without buying it, prepare for a hour of playing every 2 hours to even come close.
To make things worse, DeerHunter2018 is unstable and when you lose connectivity secondary to their servers you lose whatever you were doing be it gold, a hunt, or a purchase. They offer no resolution other than repeating the same tag line about checking connectivity. I emailed them screen captures of my internet speed, stable connectivity, and asked them for help or a refund and they denied every request over a 4 week period of gently communicating through their app. Well congratulations, your app is deleted. I’ll take my money elsewhere.

Briefly fun but becomes repetitive quickly. Items purchased have been lost with 3 complaint tickets and counting sent to nonexistent customer support. You know how there is at least an auto reply as in "your issue has been received and is being reviewed..."- nada. Do not purchase anything from this game. 4 different items have disappeared on 4 different occasions- was not a singular glitch. Old deer hunter used to allow you to get a single stellar gun that would allow you to get through the entire game without purchasing another one. This Dh forces you to purchase a gun for each region with the constant need for upgrades every few hunts- utter tedium. Spear fishing addition is fun although progression is nonexistent unless you purchase items with real currency to progress leaving you in game limbo playing the same region over, and over and over again. The constant need to upgrade and purchase new items has made this game unplayable for the casual gamer and the disappearing items has rendered this game useless for the player who is willing to throw down a few bucks as there are no guarantees on purchased items.
Update: 5th support ticket written and still no response!

If You like hunting games, You’ll most likely HATE this. It has awesome photo realistic graphics, runs smoothly, has lots of guns, modes (You have to unlock), even controls quite well with even touchscreen... So why is it bad?!? Because ALL of the hunts last like 10-15 seconds (after a 20-30 second loading screen in, & another 5-10 second one to get back to menus), so You’ll spend twice as much time in loading screens as actually playing, & no I’m not kidding about the times... of My 1st 10 missions I completed 9 of them spawned Me with 3-4 prey animals within 10-30 FEET of Me, they also didn’t run away when I shot the ones next to them... the last one the mission calls for a shotgun, & spawns You with roughly 8 deer running in a group in a line crossing literally 15 feet in front of You, & if You didn’t kill enough of them, they disappear, & respawn for more “run-bys”. Now MAYBE this game has LONG, walk around for hours to hunt, actual “hunting”, but I doubt it... I uninstalled it already, & considering how “unfun” the stuff it forces You to play through to even think about unlocking other content is, I doubt I’ll ever consider playing it again. I have a 25 year old deer hunter game on PC that’s more fun, & way more realistic.

Single most ad-filled “desperate for 10 year old’s parent’s money” game I’ve ever played. Other than of course every other Deer Hunter game they’ve made. Decently slow as well. Every 30 seconds you are either viewing an ad (fixable of course for a small fee), or you’re attempting to get a new weapon only to find out the only way to purchase a weapon in the entire beginner’s region range is to use gold which is only acquired through in-app-purchases. I understand the game is designed specifically targeting people attempting to get ahead from the beginning by spending their parents money on a $5 “starter pack” available of course for the first 30 minutes of gameplay because that’s when people are most prone to purchase things. Followed by a close second of people who have somehow either dumped money or fought their way through ads and SOMEHOW acquired a decent enough weapon through REQUIRED upgrades rather than just suffering during the hunt due to your porter quality of weapon. Buyer beware you’re getting into a trap. If ads and frustration are your thing, then you’re on the right track.

I’ve played this game off and on since it was released. I recently just downloaded it after a couple years of not playing. All I have to say is less is more. After playing the previous versions and now playing this game, I am lost. Totally confused. There are simply wayyyy too many different games to do. Almost all of which take up the same 10 point energy bar. Or they cost gold to play further. Or they require you to play the event and get different kind of coins. Kinda ridiculous and way too tedious. As busy as this game is and as much as it annoys me I would like to see the energy bar lengthened, and for all of the different games to draw from different energy bars. But ONLY energy. Not gold not coins. This game has also become much more ad ridden and practically begs you to pay for everything left and right with real money. It’s just silly. Takes way too long to progress anymore and is simply set up to be confusing it seems like. Used to really like this game. But now it’s mostly a big mess. 2 stars at most. It’s a shame.

Ok this is a fun game....but you should think about spending money on this game. The game crashes often and I do mean OFTEN. I have spent a good bit of money on the game and I didn’t mind at first....but I literally just spent 30 min playing the game and you get about two hunts and then that error notice shows up and it is time to reset. That is not a problem I guess but what is a problem...you spend money on energy; when game crashes after a hunt (always after) the energy is used up and is deducted but the benefit (XP, money, etc.) will not tally in your favor. Customer service is worthless; will get some useless suggestions on a fix. Basically it is suggested that it something wrong with your iPhone (if you use that platform). I play three other PvP/team games that I spend money on and rarely is there a problem with crashing. For the record I have no problem spending money on games and this is the fourth review I have written and the first negative one.

I love this game in all, but their is just one problem. Every time I don’t play the game for a few days and I go back to DeerHunter2018 , it will load then after it loads... the game will send me back to my home screen. Then I have to go back into DeerHunter2018 and let it load again. FINALLY, it will take me to my lobby. But then after I do one hunt and I try to do another hunt... it sends me back to my home screen!!! I SWEAR it’s not my iPad because I have another hunting game that doesn’t do that. if I play the game one day and play it the next day, it will load take me to my lobby and after I do my hunt... it will still take me back to my home screen!!! It’s SO annoying and the editors NEED to fix this. A couple more things, they need to add hunting blinds and deer feeders. It makes NO sense that you do a hunt and stand out in the open. In real life, the animals would run before you could get a chance to raise your rifle. Also they need to add real names to guns. For example 243 Winchester instead of something like Westin spire. The editors need to fix all of this now.

I consider myself a professional gamer, I do not just use games to pass time or as some “hobby” I legitimately care about the games I play. This game has put me through a lot and if you want to get into FPS or TPS you should start here, it helps to train you aim and timing, however the only thing I do not like is, after not playing this game for a few months, all of my progress was deleted and when I opened DeerHunter2018 , it took me through the walkthrough again. This was extremely frustrating watching months of progress be wiped away as if it was never there, logging into social media had no affect on anything. I give it three stars for the in game experience, and three stars for the progress that I lost. I would have been even more mortified if I had actually spent money on DeerHunter2018. I recommend that if you intend on playing for a while, do not let yourself use your iTunes money on this game.

Very fun if you like the old Deer Hunter game. But the upgrade costs get ridiculous very fast. There are multiple in game currency's, most of them very difficult to obtain, all of them available with in app purchases. Its also possible to get stuck when you dont have enough of the in game currency to even go on a hunt because you dont have enough to upgrade your weapon. This makes some of the spear hunting (my personal fav missions) impossible, and you have to wait on the loot box system to MAYBE give you a potential upgrade once every six hours. Unless you buy them with real money of corse. Also, my game has a tendency to just drop connection VERY frequently, which is very frustrating when it happens in the middle of the hunt because you wasted the energy to go on the mission, and have to either wait for energy to regenerate or buy more.

I really enjoy this game. A lot. I played it before and got pretty far. But now I am almost caught up. I like how you have to balance what you use your energy on and the money you make to do certain hunts in different categories. It’s pretty neat all the different things you can do. Elite challenges are okay with all the things it has. My only problems relate to that.

The problem with the special coins is that they are somewhat difficult to get. Though I have about three thousand, that’s after grinding all my energy on coin related things. And they are spent quick due to all the needed upgrades. I love spear fishing, but for some reason that off limits due to the need of silver coins. Not too bad, but can be obnoxious though not directly needed to be fixed.

One huge gripe, and the main reason I haven’t given five stars, is that at the current moment there is a bug that makes me restart almost all the time and uses my energy, but doesn’t save the progress on the hunt I had; as it usually happens right after a hunt. Just now I progressed in CTS twice, in a WiFi area, and it set me back both times and used my energy. Kind of annoying man. Besides that. Great game as it is. VERY generous with free energy in ads and certain times. Aswell as gold.

This is a great game! This game is one of my favorite games. After I downloaded the game I opened DeerHunter2018 . After I opened DeerHunter2018 it went to the loading page like any other game would. It stayed on the loading page until my phone turned off. The orange deer in the bottom right corner disappeared and the background kept moving saying the game was loaded. Suddenly the background stopped and it stayed like that until my phone turned off. Right know I am wondering if it has anything to do with my phone. I didn’t think it did, after I read a few reviews I realized that another reviewer had the same problem. From what I have recently discovered I am not sure that it is my phone. If this can be fixed I would enjoy the game a whole lot more. This is a great game and I was wondering if it had anything to do with IOS 11.0. After I looked at the information in the AppStore it stated that it works with IOS 8.0 and up. Like I said this is a good game. 5 star? Definitely! But with the issues I am having it is not as smooth as I feel it should be. I am looking forward to the fix if possible. Good luck on upcoming games.

I honestly have had no problems with the game other than most of the time I will get adds where they are upside down, and adds are annoying anyway so you should make less of them so we have a better hunting experience. Other then that I have had no problem. One thing tho is that you should add a Montana to like stage 10 or something because I can not find a Montana on here. And besides Montana is an amazing state so I do not understand why we do not get recognized for most stuff. So just add a Montana and fix the add thing and we should be ok. (Thanks for reading this I would appreciate it if you would take the time to do a couple things to make the game better it would be very much appreciated thanks).

This used to be one of my top favorite apps. I am addicted to this game even if it is laced with ads and other ways for the developers to try and get your money. It didn’t matter as long as I got to play the game. The animals are beautifully done and so are the backgrounds, great graphics and sounds, the only problem I have now is that the game won’t load.

After looking it up online, there are tons of people complaining that with the new update they are now stuck on the loading screen of the dog chasing the deer with the little running orange deer in the corner. I am also stuck on this screen. No matter how long I wait over the past days, the game will not load past the loading screen.

I adore this game and I would like to see this fixed. I don’t want to give this game up, it’s too amazingly done.

As the title says, this game is great but it is pretty buggy. The most common one being random error codes that can sometimes completely boot you out of the game and leave you confused as to what the problem was. Other times it tells me my session timed out, this one is the most common I’ve noticed as it can appear randomly at any time. Sometimes I’ll have 40 energy and I can play the full length without any glitches, other times I can barely do two hunts. Aside from that, other glitches are actually pretty humorous so if anything they should stay simply because of it providing more of a challenge but in the wrong way lol. I’d give this game a 5/5 if not for the error messages but either way it’s a great hunting game, especially for one on the phone!

This is so fun! So I have an idea... QUAILS. And crouching, so you can get closer to prey, like moose, deer, and the other non hostile ( until you provoke it, by shooting, like moose ). And for the historical hunts, like we have dogs, how about you CHASE the prey on horses. The better your horse is, the faster it is. This is just an idea, you don’t need to do it.
Oh and another idea could be trapping. I would love to have trapping. And bait hunts. Trapping would be a game of chance. You might get a raccoon, bobcat, even a wolf. And with bait hunts. You sit up in a tree stand, over bait. The first bait you would start out with would be corn, then raccoon bait, deer bait, best bait, and more. You don’t need to add ANY of these things, but. If you do, I think more people would join.
( note, I would also like if we could have rut season, where it multiplayer, and so you don’t shoot each other, you where bright orange. And with that as an idea, how about genders. So like if you wanna be a girl in multiplayer, you can. And also, customizing. So you can be a guy with dread locks, or a lady with bright orange short bob. Same with all my other ideas, you don’t need to do it.)

So I have a idea that could be a huge success for your company:
Monster hunting!
This game allows you to move freely while joining your friends anywhere in the world without having to pay with the acception of guns and money.

Multiplayer: you can sign in and make a custom name but the password can be anything easy and the server creator gets power over game ending whether the game should end when he leaves and if guests are allowed to play anymore or not and 10 people can join you at once.

Monsters:
The rake/rake map.
Bigfoot/Bigfoot map.
Yeti/yeti map.
Mothman/mothman map.
Werewolf/normal woods map.
Ufo/aliens/ country side,forest combo map.
Vampire/England forest map,abondoned village terrain/winter map 10 vampire spawns.
Chupacabra/chupacabra map dessert
Abominable snowman/winter map. The abominable snowman is basically a bunch of slightly smaller bigfoots still bigger than the player and there can be a large amount spread throughout the ski mountains and cold forests.
Troll/forest map. Giant trolls spawn and are very quiet but very effected by light.

Ok let’s start with the positive of this I love how there are so many places to hunt and the animation and everything but the negative is you can’t trust the fact when your buying gold bars this game doesn’t give you the bars it takes your money but nothing in return I bought gold bars for 7 dollars it was about to give me it but then something popped up and said “a error accrued version” idk but then is said for me to restart so I did and when it loaded again my gold bar wasn’t there and I spent 7 dollars on it and never got anything else this has happened before in a game called “The Wolf” so unless you give me back my money and don’t give the bars that’s fine but I want one of those back!

Within this game, the player is assigned missions to hunt and kill a specified number and type of species of animal. The game has more than 100 species of animals, not just deer. Successful missions earn a reward of Hunter Dollars. Players are issued with a basic gun. There is a gun store which stocks rifles, assault rifles, shotguns and pistols. The specifications for the guns are shown in detail. The player selects a gun – for superior guns and upgrades the player will need to use Hunter Bucks or Glu Money. The game is set up with 8 regions, which are different habitats. Each region has five different hunts – consisting of one Trophy Hunt (which is the most difficult) and four other hunts. Each hunt has a series of missions. Completing the Trophy Hunt will enable the player to unlock the next region. The four minor hunts enable the player to earn Hunter Money to upgrade their gun for the Trophy Hunt. Each region becomes progressively more difficult, which requires gun upgrades.

One last thing I wanted to say! You can probably tell I really like this game huh😎 I hear a lot of complaints about the ads! And I’ll admit they are annoying sometimes but how else are we to know about something that’s new?? You can’t turn on your tv or radio or drive down the street without seeing or hearing some sort of advertisement!! You would never know about anything! People are blowing head gaskets about this small little thing!wayyyyyy to serious about a way of life we deal with everyday of our lives!! A little to hard on the developers! Know one ever calls up McDonald’s and tell them to many ads for the dollar meals!! Give em a break guys or simply pay the money to remove them..
