The gameplay is characterized as a solid sniper experience with diverse missions and satisfying mechanics, though it can become repetitive, especially for those not invested in the sniper genre.

- “The adventure mode is only 11 or 12 missions, so it's a very short game, made longer by the 'miss and you've lost' gameplay, which is fine on some levels, but seems pointless on others.”
- “The gameplay mechanics are very basic and straightforward, but they aren't rough around the edges.”
