The monetization strategy of the game has drawn significant criticism from users, primarily due to the overwhelming number of ads that interrupt gameplay. Many players report spending more time watching ads than actually playing, with frequent prompts for in-app purchases that feel excessive and greedy. While some appreciate the option to watch ads for rewards, the overall sentiment is that the ad frequency and aggressive upselling detract from the gaming experience, leading to frustration and, in some cases, uninstallation of the game.
“I like the game as it's good for when you have a little time to kill and it seems everything is obtainable without using in-game purchases.”
“I love that there are no ads, only a premium option, and watch-ad-to-double money, but it's not forced; that's a huge plus!”
“There are in-game purchases, and people who invest real-world money certainly have an advantage over free-to-play players, but not so much as to send the game out of balance like other mobile games do.”
“The absolute worst problem is that this app has more ads than YouTube!!!”
“You spend more time watching the ads than playing the game.”
“This game is a shameless cash grab, the ads appear so ridiculously often that it ruins the game experience.”

The game's story is described as repetitive and lacking depth, with only a few mission narratives that are reused throughout. While players appreciate the variety of missions and the satisfaction of completing them, many express frustration over the overwhelming number of ads that interrupt gameplay, often making the experience feel more like a grind for upgrades than an engaging story-driven adventure. Overall, the missions are seen as straightforward and enjoyable, but the constant push for in-game purchases and the lack of a compelling overarching narrative detract from the overall experience.
“I especially love how they kind of give you some gaps between ads as well, like you don't have to watch one every single time you complete a mission.”
“Another reason why I love this game is because it features a variety of over a hundred different missions that provide different challenges, such as stopping suicide bombers, eliminating targets, stopping illegal trades, neutralizing threats, and more.”
“The missions gradually become more intriguing and complex.”
“Here are the reasons you should never play this game: 1- no storyline, there are only 3-4 stories which are repeated throughout the whole game.”
“The story mode is repetitive.”
“The only downside is the fact I have to upgrade every mission to do it.”

“Breathtaking graphics and missions.”
“The visuals and audio effects and graphics are beautiful for a mobile sniper game.”

“Graphics are horrible.”
“The graphics are 15 years old.”
“The graphics didn't even improve from 2 years ago even in 'high' setting.”

The gameplay is generally described as enjoyable and easy to control, with a variety of mechanics and stages that can be engaging. However, many users express frustration with the excessive ads and monetization strategies that disrupt the experience, making it feel repetitive and often requiring payment to progress effectively. While some appreciate the graphics and overall mechanics, the heavy reliance on in-game purchases and constant interruptions from ads detracts significantly from the gameplay experience.
“This game offers a fantastic variety of stages, mission mechanics, weapons and weapon types with a robust upgrade system.”
“The gameplay is great, controls are very easy to learn, and the graphics are pretty realistic!”
“So many things to do, so many weapons, character customization, and overall great gameplay.”
“I downloaded this game to get runes on Riders of Berk and this game is a constant fight with ads. The gameplay is really repetitive and could be better if the in-game purchases weren't so high.”
“You can't go 5 minutes of gameplay without watching at least two 30-second ads, sometimes back to back.”
“My god, this game sucks at every aspect. It's full of ads, it's lagging, gameplay is ridiculous, and the controls aren't the best. The graphics are terrible, and online events are full of bots and hackers. You can't win as a new player even if you fully upgrade your weapon.”

Players express frustration with the grinding mechanics, noting that after completing main missions, rewards significantly decrease, making further grinding feel tedious and unproductive. Progression becomes particularly slow in later areas, requiring excessive grinding for upgrades and cash, which detracts from the overall experience. Additionally, issues with reward systems for watching ads further exacerbate the grind, leading to a sense of dissatisfaction.
“There is too much in the area of paywall grinding.”
“Once you get to the second city, progress nearly halts, and getting money for upgrades necessary for progress is very tedious.”
“The various upgrades required to move from stage to stage require either a lot of grinding or money.”

Overall, the game's optimization is generally well-received, with smooth performance across various modes and good graphics. However, some players note that while upgrades improve gun performance, they lack significant changes in functionality, and recent updates have led to performance issues despite resolving previous disconnection problems in PvP.
“Super fun game, runs smoothly with many different modes and you don't have to spend real money to get wins.”
“Well optimized and the maps have better than average or maybe good graphics.”
“The targets' health scales per level, and headshots on enemies (with zero helmets) past level 6 or 7 require ammo and muzzle device upgrades, but they aren't really upgrades; they are just options that increase the gun's performance without actually adding a logic change to the gun itself.”
“The targets' health scales per level, and headshots on enemies (with zero helmets) past level 6 or 7 require ammo and muzzle device upgrades, but they aren't really upgrades; they are just options that increase the gun's performance without actually adding a logical change to the gun itself (like upgraded bullets don't become fragmented hollow points).”
“PvP disconnection issues are now sorted, but now the game performance has suffered.”
“It's okay; the graphics could be better, and it's just like every other game out there where you have to bust your butt getting points to upgrade your rifle, and when it's finally optimized, you've spent every credit on it.”
