The game suffers from significant stability issues, particularly freezing during the final trophy hunts in each region, which prevents players from receiving their rewards. Many users report that the game consistently crashes after completing major hunts, leading to frustration and loss of in-game currency. Despite the game's enjoyable mechanics, these persistent glitches detract from the overall experience and have not been adequately addressed by the developers.
“Almost no glitches or ads!”
“The game runs smoothly without any crashes.”
“I appreciate how stable the gameplay is; it never lags or freezes.”
“The game freezes after the final trophy hunt of each region, so you don't get the final cash prize at the end.”
“Every time I kill the last animal on the map, the one that gives you the most money, after I do the heart shot or whatever it shows the animal down and it always freezes, the game always freezes.”
“I love this game but I have also had a problem where if you hunt your trophy hunt the game glitches and then I have to leave the game but as soon as I reopen it, it says hunt completed but I did not get any money.”

The monetization aspect of the game has received overwhelmingly negative feedback, with players expressing frustration over the excessive number of ads and the pressure to engage in microtransactions. Many users feel that the game is designed to push them towards spending money, making progression difficult without financial investment or constant ad-watching. While some players appreciate the game's content and graphics, the intrusive ads significantly detract from the overall experience, leading to a perception of the game as a cash grab.
“The graphics of this game are quite amazing, this game is perfect for making your time pass with fun, and literally this game is almost free to play with no ads. The collection of maps and equipment is huge, and to be honest, it's the best hunting game ever!”
“Its just so much fun experience you have to play it, in-app purchase is there but you don't have to... it won't make much difference 😁”
“Not too many in-app purchase requirements like some games.”
“However, it is a serious grind, especially if you don't pay for any microtransactions.”
“Way too many ads on top of the fact that you have made gameplay pretty much impossible for those who wish to play free!”
“The amount of ads in this game is sickening.”

The game's story and mission structure are criticized for being repetitive and frustrating, with many players experiencing glitches that prevent them from receiving rewards after completing missions. While some appreciate the graphics and the variety of missions, the overwhelming presence of ads and the need for constant upgrades detract from the overall enjoyment, leading to a perception that the game prioritizes monetization over a cohesive narrative experience. Overall, players express a desire for a more engaging and less glitch-ridden hunting simulator.
“The game is good for people that like story and hunting.”
“Graphics are great and the plot is sweet as well.”
“Love the way our quests go.”
“I was excited to finally have a decent hunting game, but they suck the fun out of it with impossible quests and tasks, even if you watch every single advertisement, which is a ridiculously high amount, by the way.”
“Game is very glitchy and always bugs out when you kill the trophy animals and then doesn't give you the money for it but completes the mission.”
“I never played such a garbage game before; this game is garbage. The missions of this game are hilarious, for example, aim for lungs? What the heck, aim for heart?”

Overall, the gameplay is generally well-received, with many players praising its addictive nature, smooth controls, and impressive graphics. However, there are significant criticisms regarding the game's physics, particularly in shooting mechanics, as well as frustrations with energy limitations and the prevalence of ads, which detract from the overall experience. While some players find the gameplay enjoyable and challenging, others feel it is hindered by pay-to-win elements and repetitive mechanics.
“The game is amazing, the graphics, which were ahead of its time, combined with the gameplay, bring a stellar feeling that satisfies like Snickers.”
“One of the best games I've ever played, very addictive hunting game. If you're an avid hunter or just like gameplay, I would strongly suggest it; the gameplay is awesome.”
“Love the game, energy takes too long to refill though, great graphics and gameplay on top of great weapon choices.”
“Way too many ads on top of the fact that you have made gameplay pretty much impossible for those who wish to play free!”
“I'm giving this a 2 because of the nature of the game. I loved a lot of things about the game, but the energy mechanic and how expensive in-game credits are, and how hard it is to get them in-game without purchase, is insane. It didn't take long for me to realize there is no way to progress very far unless you pay.”
“Not realistic at all; vital organs are not where they should be and are next to impossible to hit. Graphics are sub-par and gameplay is repetitive.”

Players generally find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious and time-consuming, often requiring excessive effort to earn in-game currency for upgrades and purchases. Many express frustration over bugs that hinder progress and the perceived necessity to spend real money to bypass grinding, which detracts from the overall enjoyment. While some appreciate the game despite its grindy nature, the consensus is that the grinding can become a significant barrier to a smoother gaming experience.
“This prevents you from having enough money to purchase the next required gun and makes extreme grinding necessary.”
“The gameplay isn't bad, but when you have to do the tedious hunts to make up what was not paid out, it's discouraging.”
“Like many others have said, the bug with the last trophy hunt not awarding money is really bothersome and forces me to grind money that should've been mine from the start; the game being kind of grindy already just makes it feel worse.”

The music in the game is generally well-received, described as nice and uplifting, but players express frustration over the lack of an option to mute sound effects while keeping the music on.

Users are eager for improvements, including the ability to customize audio settings and restore older music tracks.
“The music is really nice and even the controls are easy.”
“Uplifting music.”
“Nice music.”
“Why in the world would you think it's okay to create an on/off switch for the music (which is semi-tolerable) and then think it's absolutely fine to not have an on/off switch for the terrible sound effects for literally every little thing that happens within the game?”
“Very disappointed with the fact that as soon as I load it, and the music starts playing, it crashes.”
“Sometimes after I play for about 15 minutes, the sound or the music immediately stops, so it would be better if this is fixed. I will give 5 stars if this problem has been resolved.”
