Sniper 3D: Gun Shooting Games Reviews

by ScoobLine

Although the game is fun and addicting, there are bugs: 1) special offers on a weapon are always at a higher city level than you are playing, which means you can’t buy it until you unlock the city, and deal is gone; 2) descriptions are not always accurate, especially with gender. It will say one thing, and it is something different. 3). Still get ads that play once in awhile with subscription (not the ones for diamonds or doubling coins).

In addition, I see no advantage to a paid subscription, it just unlocks things which requires coins or diamonds. No extra coins or diamonds daily. Diamonds are hard to get, and expensive. Pay for the subscription, need to upgrade to premium for chests (gives you some benefits such as extra magazine capacity) and extra plays if away from the game for an extended period of time. Eliminates most ads. You still need to purchase diamonds if you want to be competitive. It is greed. You will make more money in volume if it is reasonably priced.

Updated: demoted to one 1-star. There is no way one player in PVP Arena, game after game can always get the same prime spot, and they kill you within one second of regeneration. Player should be in a much higher l league. This has been a constant. Maybe if I spend money I could get the same cheats?

I’ve been playing this game for just about a year now, and at first, it was a fun game. Playing through the levels, achieving new guns and gaining gems and coins. It’s just fun. But the more you play, the harder it becomes to pass certain levels due to the high cost of certain guns you need to purchase to pass a certain level. If you don’t get this specific gun, you can’t move forward. You either have to play 10 hours a day or watch 500 ads to get free gems, or spend real money! Which already costs a ridiculous amount of money! Real money!! Then, when you become real competitive, this game has a battlefield called “PvP” (player-vs-player) where you take your best sniper rifle and you play against other people playing the same game at the same time. This is actually fun to play, but again... the more you play it, the higher your level goes, and you start to get matched up against players that use hacks! This game is full of cheaters that have unlimited amounts of money and gems, have the most powerful weapons and armor... it literally becomes not fun anymore! One shot, you’re dead! You’re lucky if you get one round out of the chamber! Until they weed out all the hackers who cheat, which this game is infested with, I wouldn’t suggest playing this game... it’s just my opinion.

Never in my life have i seen a game so money hungry, and theres alot of bad ones out there. Almost every single mission you do youll get at least 2 mini ads. Then theres 3 different ‘get these rewards’ ads. Every now and then youll get ‘weapon deals’ that are just trying to trick people into spending money, because nomatter what youll never have enough (i reinstalled the game to try to get one near the beginning and instead of showing the amount of gold it had before it showed gems instead since i had the gold). You cant skip tiers unless you buy gems, i saved for a t3 sniper and it wouldnt allow me to do it in the 2nd city with gold. Theres no actual way to obtain gems that will amount to anything unless you buy, so youre forced to always use the worst weapons unless you spend cash. If that wasnt bad enough, theres a premium option in the store thats more expensive than anything ive ever seen in a game, and if you go to premium theres nothing even saying itll remove ads so chances are even if you were that crazy to spend $300 per year on premium youd still be getting ads nonstop. Oh and did i mention that aside from all this money grabbing, the game lags on every device ive tried it on. The game at its core is honestly decent and fun, but literally everything else ruins the experience.

Just like the title says, it’s a typical move from a typical company. Not only does it require an insane weekly 9.99 for the “premium” pass, but it also tries to lure you into paying that fee by giving you a free trial. If you are gullible enough to accept this free trial, you accept the terms that you get one week free. But, the catch is that if you don’t cancel it within the week you then begin to get charged 9.99 per week. At that rate, if you had this game for a year it would cost you over $500, which is an outrageous number considering most console games that are actually well developed only have a one time cost of $60. I can only assume this type of cost system is targeted towards small children. Of course little boys will be drawn to this type of game and it’s clear the game is meant for them. The levels are boring and repetitive and they clearly put little to no work into the structure of this game. It’s obviously a cash grab scheme targeting small children. They lure them with violent content that they find exciting, get them to accept the free trial, and thus get their parents card charged 9.99 a week. For struggling parents who are unaware of this charge, this could be devastating to them. Sniper3D is sick and disgusting and I can’t believe games like this are allowed in Sniper3D Store when their motive is so clear.

So I like this game, I really do, but some things just need to be fixed. There a a lot of problems with the game but the pvp mode is one of the big ones. I really think it was good you added PVP to the game but, the problem is the pairing algorithm. I get into a match right? Before I can even spot someone, another guy kills me within two shots. While I sit there shooting with my sniper with a 3 bullet mag. Worse part is, my shot does AT THE MOST 1 damage out of 200. Even without my victim spotting me while I sit there shooting for 10 minutes straight, the match would’ve ended before I got to kill one player! Now sometimes I get in to a match with people weaker than me, and they don’t stand a chance! I think it’s really unfair that you pair people the way you do, whatever that is, it just doesn’t work! Don’t let people use the same guns from the campaign mode, because if they’re new to PVP but have been playing campaign for a long time, they are basically going to win every match. That’s just one problem. I know development is hard when it comes to a video game but with the great game you’ve created, I think it wouldn’t be too much of a problem to change the little things that ruin the entire game. Also, the so called “mods” in the world ops mode, I bought one with 500 gems and the next day, it disappeared! This game needs some work, REALLY!

by Salami65

The game can be fun, if you have deep pockets. Oh, and if they ever fix the bugs. If you don’t spend you won’t get far in pvp or world ops. Campaign is fun but the more you progress, you’re only able to do one or two missions before you need to buy an upgrade. The higher upgrades take 30 minutes before you can equip them, but if you have a ton of gems (deep pockets) you can get them instantly. The “discounted” weapons are just out of reach with your current gold or gem amount, but if you drop a couple bucks, you can get them. Pvp is lopsided. You enter the arena, or whatever it’s called, just to find out that you’ve been paired with players that are ridiculously more powered than you are. If you get 2 kills, you’re doing pretty good. Meanwhile the person that takes first has like 13 kills (he’s a big spender so he’s got all the best weapons and gear). And here’s where the bug issue comes into play. For over a month we haven’t been able to access anything to do with your squad. Squad chat just became “available” about a week ago. You can’t leave your current squad to join a new one and if you didn’t have a squad, you can’t create or join one. Not to mention the bonuses that are supposed to be paid out after the pvp and world ops, aren’t being paid out. If I were able to give less than 1 star, I would.

2nd update: I had 11,000+ diamonds that I had just purchased with real money. I quit playing briefly to do something and when I came back I had only 2,000 something diamonds. This is the 2nd time in less than a week that this has happened to me. No customer service. Haven’t heard anything in more than a week. Apple shouldn’t even allow this game to be in its site, the way this game rips you off.

Update: After I left my review about having over 3500 diamonds just go missing one day. I see that others have the same issue. The game steals the things you buy and there’s no way to report it or get your money or diamonds back. I’ve never seen a game push the “in app purchases” as much as this game. But to spend money to buy items and then just have those items go “missing” is just wrong! It’s called stealing. I’m deleting this game and hope others do, too.

Previous review: I had over 3500 diamonds and I was upgrading my weapon for 270 diamonds. Suddenly for a brief second a “server error” message popped onto my screen and when it left. I only had 50 diamonds left. Really sucky!! I spent $15-$20 in the last 2 hours only to lose the diamonds (I should say have them taken.) Not happy at all!!

by Tripk69

This game used to be quite fun but since I have reached Bear status it’s been very unfair and disappointing. Sometime between 1/1/21 & 1/4/21, 14,000 of my diamonds just disappeared. I have reached out to the developers, explained what happened, asked for a ticket number and status update and here it is February 17 and still no response from developers and no reimbursement of my diamonds. Also, I played the first two PVP Squad wars of the new year and received no rewards from the wars(We won both). I also let the developers know that also and no response. As to my prior comment unfairness, I am now a golden bear but during wars and arena challenges, 99% of the time I am going against a minimum of 5 skulls and the rest lions. Very seldom do I compete against fellow bears or lower or anyone who has a comparable gear rating. This game is getting very frustrating and discouraging. The only thing that keeps me coming back is my fellow veterans who I Squad War with. If it wasn’t for them I would be gone. It’s not fun to play a game when the playing field is not fair and you lose rewards (diamonds, battle coins, coins) that you fought very hard for. Until these issues get fixed I will not spend another dime on this game and if my fellow veterans (who are having the same issues) decide to leave the game, I will be following them. Get this stuff fixed and remedied developers. This is getting old. Give me back my diamonds and level the playing field.

This game is not a 4.9 star game. First of all, the game itself is not a good game. The bodies of the enemies after you kill them often phase into objects when they fall down, and I know you are able to have physics as in your taxi levels, when the taxi driver dies the taxi flips over and if anything is in the way it will bounce of off it. You also probably have the money for it, even if you don’t have the physics (I will get to this in a later point). I understand this is a mobile game, but if it’s still one of the most high rated games on Sniper3D Store. Second, this game wants you to pay so much money. If you want to get this one gun but it requires diamonds there’s no way to get diamonds without watching ads or buy them. I’m on the 4th city and I only have 190 diamonds and haven’t spent a single one. How much do guns cost? At least 1000 diamonds. My third and final point is how much premium is shoved in your face. Pretty much any time you beat a level an ad asks you if you have any money like how a homeless person begs for some money. Not to mention how much premium gives you. Pretty much anything that’s in the game be upgraded if you get premium. This wouldn’t be so bad if the game wasn’t already crappy so spending money on Sniper3D is basically a waste. Anyways, this is my review of your game.

by Hitman For Panda

This game is horrible . Let’s break down how your average game goes . You go to a mission . You need a upgrade every single time you want to start a mission . Also let’s talk about energy . Why is this mechanic even in the game . There is no propose . I know it’s not exclusive to this game but that not make it any better . Once you get in you play some repetitive garbage . It either tracking a important NPC , shooting the guy with key feature like green headphones or hitting a running guy . Their always very boring . Then you get hit with a ad . Let’s assume you grind your way up and unlock a spec ops mission . Spec ops are defiantly the best of the game but considering that everything else get is the same 3 formats that’s not that much of compliment . The other single player game modes are also repetitive . The PVP mode is horribly beyond belief . The main problem is that players aren’t given a standard sniper rifle to balance it out . This means that new players can land four headshots on a high level and then the high level can one shot them in the chest . This means that it’s effectively high levels farming off low levels and considering the fact that every region has one coin bought sniper and the rest are gem purchased that means that pvp is run by pay to win .

*SNIPERS UNITED FOR ACTION*Too many cheaters take all fun out of the game, no reliable way to get complaints resolved. Many rewards are worthless like gold coins after completing cities, no reliable recruiting method for getting new shooters into squads. No response to complaints, issues, help.

Game is fun but repetitive. Recycled narratives and unfair pairing. Game is Glitchy and they’ll blame it on your internet connection. Hits won’t register or lag. Worst part is customer service. Non-responsive. Everything is about money. I won diamonds and they didn’t show up. I purchased a weapon and it didn’t show purchased. I wrote to them and they said it was a system wide issue but didn’t refund diamonds nor deliver weapon. They are constantly offering deals on weapons just beyond what you have so you’ll want to buy diamonds to get the better weapon. I fell for it and purchased diamonds but they did not show up on my balance until I lost the limited time offer. Now that I have diamonds, I don’t get offers to earn free diamonds by watching ads but I don’t have enough to buy the weapon I want without a special sale on the weapon. I have gone 30 days with no resolution to my issues and over a week since they stopped replying. Don’t waste your time and frustration.

by Elophant

It is a decent game and I usually enjoy playing it. I know the developers need to make a living but they seem more concerned with trying to make you spend your hard earned $$ than making a great game!! You earn diamonds but when your bank is full they try to charge you to open what you already earned!!! They offer daily deals but I have yet to be allowed to purchase one of those deals with my play money or diamonds. I’ve tried several different internet connects at different places. When you try to get one of those deals, it pops up with no internet connection try again later!!! This is bull!!!! There isn’t any internet problem when to buy it at full price!! After your rifle is “fully equipped” then all of a sudden your rifle doesn’t make the cut!! You either buy a new rifle or use battle tokens to upgrade the rifle you couldn’t upgrade before with diamonds!! If you can make it through this game without spending a small fortune, then you are one lucky genius. Because of all the ads I am forced to watch and the constant trying to force me spend money, I am determined to play as far as I can without giving them a dollar!! This game is not worth spending my $$ on.

Alright their are multiple problems, the first and most prevalent is that is is highly unrealistic, not only in the missions and overall combat bad but the deaths of the targets, the targets/graphics, and the weaponry prices are unrealistic and angering. Speaking of prices, this game is basically a cash grab, it gives you little currency per mission, sets guns at crazy high prices, and at very turn advocates you to buy diamonds to pay for them, even in the missions it may give you a free one use of a high level gun then tell you to buy it, I see why the developers did this, but it doesn't mean I like it. The only good thing about this situation is you can watch videos to get free diamonds, and unlike other sniper games, it gives you a fair amount of diamonds per ad, but while we are the topic of ads some of them are to hefty and can crash the game, which is frustrating to say in the least. Another mechanic I have a problem with is the energy bar, I know almost every sniper game gives you a set amount of energy but it doesn't mean that this is a good mechanic, it only serves to pressure the player to buy energy to play this game, which I dislike in most situations. The only reason I play this game is because I like sniper games but overall I would still say that this game is bad to say in the least.

I’ve been playing this game for quite a while. It makes for a good time waster when you’re waiting in line, etc. I appreciated that although it’s not flashy, it’s fairly stable, and they at least gave you the opportunity to play for free without having to jump through too many hoops. But all that changed with the last update. Now the game is buggy - daily bonuses don’t show up half the time, things take longer to load, and worst of all, they’ve started pumping ads every few minutes now. If you don’t pay for Premium, you already had to watch a lot of ads to progress through the game. But now they randomly pop up every few minutes. I don’t begrudge them making money, but the pendulum swung from reasonable to awful, literally overnight. If the change had been accompanied by some major value-add upgrade, it might not be so bad, but this game is mostly just recycled backdrops, NPCs, and side missions from one level to the next. The gameplay is really repetitive, particularly in the side missions and PVP, but even the main missions get recycled - which, again is fine for a free time-waster kind of game, but not when you’re seeing ads every two minutes. The game just doesn’t offer enough variety to justify me spending any more time with it.

I have to admit that this game is very addicting and that it is just a great game in general. I have been playing this for a while and I have noticed quite a few things that kind of ruined it for me. For one, you have to wait so much in this game. You have energy bars and I think there I like 10 of them, so that means when it’s full, you get to play about 10 games. When you use all of the energy up, you have to wait for it to refill, which can take a while. Also, when you are upgrading guns of higher tiers, the upgrades take so long to come in. It used to take only like 5 minutes, but now I have to wait a half an hour just to get one upgrade. Another thing that I realized is that the developers of this game are super money hungry. As you play this game, you start to realize how much they beg you for money. I’ll also mention that they have an ad like every 30 seconds! It’s almost impossible to et a good gun without having to pay for gold and diamonds. All of the good guns cost so many diamonds and the diamonds take forever to build up! One of the only ways to get diamonds is by watching ads. In conclusion, this is a good game, but there is so much waiting in it and Sniper3D developers are money hungry. To be completely honest, I don’t even suggest you get this game.

I had to admit, it’s a fun game to play. But if you plan to not spent any money to buy gold or diamonds in-game, then your weapons are all crappy ones. Even when you become premiums, yes, you get a little more gold for some missions and a couple more energy bars to play. But that’s about it. It’s like they force you to spend your money to buy gold to get the better weapons. I played the same daily mission many times and what I notice is that when you save up a lot of gold just in case they offer you the mission weapon in discount so you can buy it, it end up that it doesn’t matter how much gold you had you still can’t buy it. Because the offer always knows when you have enough gold and when you don’t. Example, if that mission weapons discounted 216,000 gold and 147 diamond, they’ll allow you to buy with gold if your gold is less then 216,000, otherwise, if you have more than 216,000 gold, they only have the option for diamonds, which diamonds cost a lot of money to buy. If you plan to play just to pass time and don’t care about the game then it’s a grate game to play. If you’re competitive and want close to perfection or even perfection, plan to spend a lot of money to buy gold and diamonds. I’m done with this game!

by Cmonrlly

As far as gameplay goes, I really enjoy this one! There’s a lot of content and for a mobile game I actually find it really engaging and well designed. For a game of good quality I don’t even mind the occasional ad, and their premium offer is something I wouldn’t spend money on but I can see why people would. Their diamond “premium currency” in game is a little overpriced for my taste, but I think it seems comparable to what I’ve seen in plenty of other mobile games.

Having said that, THEY ARE GOING TO FORCE AN AD DOWN YOUR THROAT EVERY 15 SECONDS. Not an exaggeration, if it’s not a third party ad it’s them constantly begging for more of your money in game by bombarding you with “sweet deals” that are way cheaper than the stores prices, and if you don’t want to make the purchase they add an extra two screens of “just making sure” you don’t want to cash in on this “sweet deal”. EVERY. TIME. It ruins the whole experience for me. If the ads were trimmed down to even a third of what they are now I would’ve given this game a much higher score. It just makes it seem like the developers don’t care about how it interfaces with your user experience and like this whole thing is just a quick money grab. It really cheapens the value of an otherwise quality game.

TLDR: great gameplay, way too many ads. Like an unbearable amount.

by Football Receiver 29

I would rate this a 5 star but there is some casualties. One there is an ad like after every mission. Second I’d rather have to like watch and ad or something instead of waiting an hour or spending gems to get equipment for my gun. And 3, I am not a fan of the 10 energy limit. Have the time I complete 10 missions in like 3 minutes and then I have to wait another 5 to 10 minutes to play another mission. So maybe just make it like a 15-20 limit. But overall this game is really good. The graphics are a good. The challenges get more challenging as you go. More problems though. One I have a weapon that takes more damage than my other gun but takes more shots to kill my target. Two I wish you could change up the characters a little bit because every new mission is someone I’ve already killed before. And 3, on the warehouse raids the levels just repeat so I wish you could just change up the the levels as you proceed or have a limit of repeat and then you can’t do them anymore or just put the wanted criminals back because that’s better than repeating the same level. And it’ll save me time from going back to different locations because the missions get boring. But somehow the game is addictive. That’s why I rate this a 3 star .

by Timlovesstrawberries

The game itself is amazing, I like the realistic appearance, and how it has these little thing like the wind is blowing 20mph, or the target is 100 ft away, the upgrades are cool, but I wanted to suggest something, so when u start upgrading something and u have to wait like an hour I feel like there should be an option to speed it up by watching ads, sometimes I don’t want to spend my diamonds, also way to many ads like after every mission u get and ad it gets annoying, also idk what it is I tried deleting and installing again but I don’t have the option to watch ads for diomends
or to refill my energy, I feel like u guys should add more option so like I could watch an add to earn money or and upgrade or something like that, I will be willing to do so
The game is also a little pay to win, I wish the offers were a little more realistic not like, oh here is a discount 6,500 diomends when I have like 6,400 diomends. another thing is I wish once u finish a city u would get like 100 diomends so u could refill ur energy, yeah I’m on the last city and I like the game but yeah
Also I know I can’t spell diomends correctly I don’t have the auto correct on

by Mumphmanprophecies

You can’t just say the game is money hungry without sayin hmm isn’t America money hungry we all have a dream of having our own business and making money at that business. So for them to try there best and offer great rewards/discounts when you play the game isn’t money hungry it’s gamer friendly and should be considered as something to check out because you can play through the single player mode completely without paying cash and all you have to do is wait for upgrades on weapons I’d say that’s pretty fair and the best part is it’s challenging to play perfectly through and the sport is great for that reason. Single player is a blast somewhat repetitive but they do get fairly difficult throughout the stage missions. PVP is a whole other style to the game and is very competitive. The world ops is a great place to make more diamonds and such and always remember to play through them each week for multiple rewards and remember it passes the time could we really ask for more

by LogosAndTruth

This game was designed for micro-transactions. Ads appear after every mission. Guns are constantly advertised in game and you can only afford them if you pay real money. And there is a piggy-bank of diamonds that accrues diamonds daily. After twenty four hours it becomes available. The only way to get them is paying for it. But the worst part of the game is PvP.

Multiplayer is designed for players who pay to win. Gear Rate is equal to HP. When the lobby is full of players with HPs ranging from 6000 to 7000, the match is about equal. But it immediately becomes apparent it’s not because players can purchase the strongest rifles in game with real money. That means a player at 1000 HP (gear rate) can kill you with one shot from a rifle with a damage rate above 7000. This happens all the time. If that does not persuade you away from this mobile game, then a unbalance lobby will. Often, the match will have a wild mix of players with HPs above 15,000 and others below 6000. The result is an extremely frustrating unbalanced gaming experience.

If you like to purchase your weapons and armor with cash and create an unbalance gaming experience (only to be outclassed by someone with more money) Sniper3D is for you. However, if you want a competitive, fair and balanced gaming experience, look for another app. You’ve been warned.

Update to my review:

At least 23 of the last update descriptions are identical. It’s almost like they are just pencil whipping them. Also, New levels used to come out every 3 months or so. But now, I’d bet it’s been a year or more since there’s been a new level.

Original review: Good game, I spend a lot of time on it when I have down time. I've made it to the point where it makes no sense to buy anything. I can buy 800,000 gold coins for $100... or I can just complete a daily mission and get 42 million gold coins. But there are lots of ads. You can watch ads to double rewards, which I don't mind, but as soon as that ad goes off, another comes on. And those ads, the ones that the game just plays randomly and OFTEN, always make you click twice to close them. I shouldn't have to do that. Let me click once and make the ad go away. Also, with regards to the most recent update (24 Feb 2017)... Why did the most recent update reduce the Damage of the RPG? I watched a lot of ads to get diamonds so I could attain the RPG. And it was working just fine in the current level I was on. Until the update reduced it's damage by 300 points. It's no longer the most powerful weapon in the game. I think it should be.

by Th3 Navigator

I immediately loved this game. The pay to win aspect isn’t even too bad. But I went ahead and upgraded to premium+ for $200. Which got me some pretty cool benefits. After months of playing, I’ve built my character and gear/mods up quite a bit. Then this most recent patch came out and erased it all! I’ve lost all my mods, most of my weapon upgrades, and essentially everything that made going premium+ worth it. The worst part is I can’t get a response from customer support. I know other players are experiencing similar issues, but there has been no announcement regarding plans to fix it. Now I am fully aware that paying several hundred for a P2W isn’t smart, but I’m wondering if we all just got fleeced and the devs took the money and ran. Until this issue is fixed, I highly discourage you from downloading this game. I don’t know if it’s worth me even playing, because I don’t know if any further progress is just going to be erased again. STAY AWAY! With that said, I really enjoyed this game, if they restore everything I’ll come back and update to 5 stars.

by CL Norris

The realistic aspect made me love this game, but it’s gotten to the point that it is unplayable, literally! World Ops and PvP loading and not crashing for two missions is like winning the lotto and this is after the latest update. World Ops is how you earn money for new guns and upgrades to them, so unless you’re going to pay to play, you won’t be able to finish this game. Customer service is nonexistent. Best tablet/phone game at one point and now unplayable and just taking up space on my iPad. I tried talking to customer service, but when they did finally get back to me all they said was the game should be working now and they were sorry. Hackers in PvP, like players with assault rifles, make even paying customers not stand a chance and they don’t care about the hackers, or don’t ban them. Fun while it lasted, but I’ll be making room on my iPad after giving developers a month to get the game going and compensate me the same they did a friend who had spent money on this. I was going to, but glad I didn’t now. Allowing behavior is endorsing it, and I cannot endorse their “service.”
