Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be both addictive and frustrating, as it often requires significant time investment or monetary spending to progress, especially at higher levels.

Overall, players have expressed concerns about the game's optimization, particularly following a recent update that has led to increased glitches and poor matchmaking. While some users appreciate the game's smooth performance and graphics, they feel that the monetization aspect negatively impacts gameplay balance and that equipment should enhance performance rather than affect scoring.

“But anyways, this game is definitely one of the best sniping hunting games on mobile; it runs smoothly and the graphics are okay, with details of the angle you hit your shots!”

“The biggest pay-to-win issue is the added percentage for purchased guns, which allows players to have subpar performance with a superior score.”
“Equipment performance should improve performance, not the scoring.”
