### 2/5 — READ THIS PLEASE!

*2026-08-13, version 1.5.1*

More animals, mean and rare ones, tigers, lions, elephants, alligators, crocodiles, and it needs ponds and lakes for shooting fish in the water MORE FLYING ANIMALS (goose, duck of different breeds, and doves

### 4/5 — Love it could be better pls read

*2026-08-04, version 1.5.1*

I love the game it’s so fun but u can just run up to a animal and shoot it and it runs like 30 yards and stops there so it could be better but still fun

### 3/5 — Best hunting game on mobile But

*2026-08-04, version 1.5.1*

Look man let’s be honest is the best hunting game on mobile but if u could add full controller support and more customization to the vehicles bases and more vegetation to the maps couldn’t nothing even compare to it

### 4/5 — whereistheupdatefortheAmericanMarksman

*2026-07-11*

Почему вы забросили игру, почему в игре нету до сих пор нормального счетчика трофеев, почему рога у оленей и лосей практически одинаковые у друг друга, почему хардкор за подписку (бредятина полная а не охота получается) почему хищники и другие животные не атакуют игрока, почему так мало прицелов (почему прицельные сетки такие большие) почему утки это только селезень кряквы, и почему если есть утки в локации нельзя добавить туда для них водоем, игра просто не стоит ни денег, ничего, реально, сделайте уже что то, а не вкладывайтесь только в одну игру про гонки

### 4/5 — Anne

*2026-07-06, version 1.5.1*

Please! Please! Put a female hunter there are a lot of females that play  and we would love to not have to look like a guy ,Thank you

### 5/5 — Best game I have come across

*2026-06-29, version 1.5.1*

I finally found the right game after all these years. I think it’s worth becoming a member.

### 5/5 — Please add NC mountains

*2026-06-24, version 1.5.1*

Can you please add a region that is the North Carolina mountains and I actually live in Morganton NC which is in the middle of the foothills and mountains and also please add a vehicle called Honda Pioneer 1000 UTV because my dad has one and it will make me and my dad happy if you add this please and thank you.

### 3/5 — It would be a lot more fun if there was crossbows and air guns

*2026-06-24, version 1.5.1*

As a hunter myself I don’t only hunt big game, when everything else is out of season I use my air gun and shoot some rabbits and ptarmigans, also the crossbow would be sick! And plz add a scope for the deagle! Thanks!!!

### 4/5 — Best you should download it.

*2026-06-23, version 1.5.1*

You should download this game because you can play with friend and also check out other people places and the fun stuff is that there lot of animals to shot this is the best game you should try it out.

### 4/5 — New weapons and more variety of animal antlers

*2026-06-21, version 1.5.1*

They should add a crossbow to the game. And it gets boring when your lodge is only that same set of antlers and horns on your wall

### 5/5 — things you should add

*2026-06-20, version 1.5.1*

You should add dogs labradors to retrieve ducks . Hounds to track animals . I wish the cougars were able to come at you. Also, you should add lakes so the ducks can go in the water. And you should add rabbits, squirrels raccoons. And you should add pronghorn. And you should get rid of the skull or the blood drop .So it will make it harder to track the animals. And don’t forget mountain goats. Maybe you could add how animals go at you

### 4/5 — One reason

*2026-06-19, version 1.5.1*

I accidentally deleted the game and lost all my stuff it would really help of they fixed that
Bo

### 4/5 — Add items

*2026-06-15, version 1.5.1*

The game is very good but please add calls

### 5/5 — It’s like hunter call of the wild

*2026-06-05, version 1.5.1*

It’s realistic fun and you can upgrade your guns with scopes, silencers and red dots

### 5/5 — Great game

*2026-06-05, version 1.5.1*

This is a great game I just wish there were more guns and maps.

### 5/5 — A idea

*2026-06-02, version 1.5.1*

I think you guys should like when somebody killed something you could have also the dead mark up on the map

### 4/5 — 4 stars

*2026-05-29, version 1.5.1*

The best hunting game I have ever played. There should be bigger sizes of antlers and new guns and no dot on the scope cross air.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Don’t get

*2026-07-29, version 1.5.1*

Terrible

### 1/5 — Diversity

*2026-07-17, version 1.5.1*

If you could have more than just a pale male for a character I would appreciate it. For characters to only come in one ethnicity is a bit absurd.

### 1/5 — Sell all

*2026-06-02, version 1.5.1*

TIME FOR A REAL UPDATE, Battle Creek! Polish this turd or drop it!!!
  Let a real game developer take it over.
   Things I would suggestare,  Add a sell all button i. camp inventory. More guns with accurate specifications. Make look/aim Joystick control. Add a Semi automatic shotgun and crossbows would be cool. Make the higher price ammo actually better. Improve Bows. Need more maps. Fix map marker in desert map. Animals still die outside the map boundaries, and actually update it in a timely manner or the game gets boring

### 1/5 — Needs some improvements

*2026-05-25, version 1.5.1*

We need the animals more suspicious and spook more needs more birds species and different racks for antlered species

### 1/5 — Fake updates

*2026-03-26, version 1.2.7*

This last update didn’t improve anything. If it was an update, it was more of a downdate because when you watch Ads, it knocks out the sound and you have to close the game and restart it to get the sound back. The “update” only changed the logo of the game in the app store and its the same logo from another hunting game with a different name on it.
  Battle creek cant make a decent game and keep it going

### 1/5 — Controllers

*2026-02-04, version 1.2.6*

Add backbone controller support

### 1/5 — Ads are very intrusive.

*2026-01-29, version 1.2.6*

Waiting through ads is totally understandable but baiting/forcing me into my browser or the App Store is unacceptable.

### 1/5 — Trash

*2025-12-22, version 1.2.6*

This game is trash and nobody can say that it’s good because it’s not. there’s nothing about the thing that makes it good at all. Prove me wrong.

### 1/5 — Deleted everything

*2025-12-13, version 1.2.6*

I put probably 50,000 dollars into my world and it lasted for like a week and then it all got deleted if I could rate it lower I would

### 1/5 — This game is trash!!

*2025-11-28, version 1.2.6*

The game still glitches for me bc every time I shoot it pauses and it shoots the opposite way in shooting so yea and don’t play this game it is ahhh.

### 5/5 — Awesome game but…

*2026-08-16, version 1.5.1*

This game is an awesome game but personally I would add more animals like bobcats, quail  and turkey also could you fix the wolf and bear faces.  it’s such a good game and thank you for making it. Hopefully you see this review. Also good job on the other animals they look really realistic. Awesome game. I would also add thicker Forrest oaks and rivers, animals calls, smarter animals, and add the farm house thing in the middle of the land or something so you just go there to change your weapon. Sorry about the grammar I added it over time.

### 5/5 — My favorite hunting game, but I am hoping for a few neat updates

*2026-08-09, version 1.5.1*

American Marksman has become one of those games I keep coming back to. The maps look great, the atmosphere is relaxing, and the gameplay hits that perfect mix of exploration and challenge. It’s honestly one of the most enjoyable outdoor games on mobile right now.

I do have a few ideas that I think could make it even better. First, I’d absolutely love to see a Hawaiian map with mouflon, wild boar, chital, mongooses, feral goats, and even feral chickens. It would bring a totally different vibe and introduce species you don’t really see anywhere else.

While we’re talking animals, turkeys and coyotes would fit naturally into pretty much all of the existing maps. Caribou and black bears would also be great additions certain maps already in the game.

I’d also really appreciate if animals actually collided with fences, hay bales, trees, and other structures instead of clipping through them. Small details like that make the world feel more alive. And on the behavior side, adding predation would make things more realistic and add a bit of competition for the hunter. Animals being able to attack the player would be a fun twist too.

Another thing I’d love to see is female animals for every species. Herds would feel more natural, and it would add a lot more variety. Adjusting elk herds so they’re mostly cows with one big bull would also make things more accurate.

Also… mule deer with white‑tailed deer antlers and white‑tails with muley antlers should probably be fixed 🤣🤣🤣.

While polishing things up, fixing some of the regional accuracy issues would be great, such as grizzlies showing up in the Southwest and bison not appearing in the Rockies. And speaking of the Southwest, it’s definitely missing pronghorn and javelinas, which would fit perfectly and make the map feel way more complete. Maybe jaguars could be found there as well, but they would have to be extremely rare on a mythical level.

One last thing: I think the game would benefit from more frequent updates. You clearly care about American Marksman, and the community loves it, so maybe give No Limit Drag Racing 2 a tiny break 🤣🤣🤣 and show Marksman some extra love for a bit. Don’t get me wrong, No Limit Drag Racing 2 is a good game too! 🤣

Even with all these suggestions, American Marksman is still the best hunting game on mobile, and I’m excited to see where it goes next. Keep up the great work, and thank you for such an awesome game, Battle Creek Games!

### 5/5 — Great

*2026-08-06, version 1.5.1*

I love this game. It is very detailed. I like the different animal species and a different antler and horn types. I wish you could add more maps like Africa, South America, and Europe kind of like hunter call the wild he reminds me of that game so much and I love the different mounts you can do and I wish you could do rare animals like albino and piebald 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

*2026-07-20, version 1.5.1*

i'm 11 years old and live in wisconsin and i hunt deer, bear, squirel, and turkey in real life and this is my favorite game. please add a midwest region it would have whitetail, black bear, turkey, bobcat, mallards and wood ducks, coyote, coon, red fox, goose, mountain lion, sand hill crane, pheasent, and cottontail rabbit. the landscape would be light snow on the ground and sunny, with thick woods and cut corn. a new gun would be crossbow or muzzleloader and a side by side would be nice.
