The game's story aspect is largely criticized for its lack of depth and coherence, with many players noting that missions feel repetitive and disconnected from a larger narrative. While the graphics and mission variety receive praise, the overall experience is marred by issues such as unrealistic mission requirements, frequent crashes, and a heavy reliance on in-game purchases to progress. Players express a desire for more engaging storylines and mission contexts to enhance their gameplay experience.
“Pretty good missions that make the storyline somewhat plausible.”
“Love the design and missions, the different weapons, bullets, vinyl skins, and upgrades.”
“This game is brilliant; the graphics are great, the format is brilliant, and the range of missions is brilliant.”
“This game is an ad fest; ads are everywhere, and there is no story to explain why we are killing all these people. None of the guns are related to any real weapons that have ever existed.”
“Daily missions require paying real money to complete; the balance is heavily skewed towards requiring real money, making missions uncompletable without it.”
“I used to play this game as a teen on my Kindle, but the issue is you don't get enough money from the missions to get the upgrades required for your next mission.”

The monetization strategy of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players expressing frustration over the excessive number of ads that interrupt gameplay and hinder progress. While some appreciate the option to earn rewards through watching ads, others report issues with not receiving promised rewards and the inability to make in-app purchases, which detracts from the overall experience. Overall, the consensus indicates that while the game has potential, the heavy reliance on ads and the lack of effective monetization options significantly impact player enjoyment.
“No ads, unless you choose to watch.”
“This is the best shooting game ever and I just want to say there are no ads and everybody should download it. It will keep you occupied and it is so fun, and you get to buy guns with the money you collect from missions. Hey, it's a good game!”
“Real cool game so far, no ads unless you want them, weapons are creative also.”
“It does kinda suck that in-app purchases are disabled, so the only way to earn premium weapons is by repeatedly watching ads that only give you rewards half the time.”
“You literally spend more time watching commercials and ads than actually playing the game, which I found very frustrating because they have a good product but they screwed themselves by putting in too many ads.”
“The game play itself is awesome, but the ads are getting ridiculous and slowing game play down tremendously; other than that, it's a 5-star game.”
