### 1/5 — No progression

*2024-08-31*

I, like A LOT of people, am stuck in the first area. I have completed the first area and would like to progress to the next but I keep getting a pop up that says there’s no internet connection. I tried resetting the WiFi on my phone and router and I’ve tried while out and connected to other WiFi networks. I use my phone and such have the cellular data that gives me internet without WiFi and I still can not continue to the next area. I thought it was just a me issue till I checked the reviews and found this is and extremely common problem.  

I do love the game and would love to give it the 5 stars it deserves but when you look at the area list on the bottom of the screen you can scroll to see there are (or should be) at least 60 levels but no one can progress beyond the first.

### 1/5 — Won’t progress

*2024-06-30*

Love playing this game but the game will glitch out and not allow me to pass map 1 have deleted and downloaded again multiple times with no change still.

### 5/5 — Updates

*2024-04-06*

Hello, I really hope you guys see this, it has been many years after I played this game and I always played it with my dad, we loved it. I redownloaded it to play again with my dad and after the first map is finished it will not let me download the next, if you guys could bring this game back to life it would mean the world, but other than that, best hunting game on mobile by far. Thank you! Also it’s the same for weapons and any other things that require internet to download it won’t let me.

### 5/5 — DHC 2024

*2024-02-10*

Love the game. Can’t download maps, weapons updates etc. bring back the best sniper hunting game 2024 please Glu team. This is a family game for my kids and wife lol. Looking forward to new Deer Hunter Classic 2024 revive the game after 10 years of rest. God bless us all

### 5/5 — The best game

*2023-10-01*

This is my favourite game ever I can play it at the hut

### 4/5 — Amazing game, bring it back

*2023-07-13*

Me and my father have been playing this game together ever since i can remember. Now i’m 14 and still have it on my phone. However, I’m not sure if the developers cut off the game or something. The energy bar cannot refill at all and stays stuck at 0 unless I use gold to refill it. I heard the servers were also disconnected. This is a w game, very nostalgic and beautiful graphics. People say it’s pay-to-win but i find it enjoyable without paying for it, I like to grind for the hunter bucks. Please bring it back. Many people want the game back too, not just me. The 2018 version is also good but that doesn’t mean this one should be cut off.

### 1/5 — Deer Hunter Classic Reviews

*2023-06-30*

This game is very breath taking and it’s very impressive! The game is very addicting to play and the graphics are realistic and the model of the animals are amazing but there are unfortunately some draw back to this game. I really wish that they didn’t have to add those “ENGERY LIMITS” where you can only play 10 tens unless you spend your 10 pieces of gold or actually have to pay for the game. I also wish that you can 1v1 players online to compete against each other. I would also wish that they didn’t have to add “PRICES” to the gun or at least reduce the price so it’ll take a less longer time to wait to play this amazing game. This mobile can have so much more great potential if they would’ve get rid of the energy limits we can play this game as long as we wish we can. This would’ve easily been a five star review but unfortunately due to its random uncalled nonsense I’ll have to give it 4 out of 5 stars. This game graphics are a lot better and more impressive than a lot of the BIG BUCK hunter arcade games or some of the Cabala’s games.

### 4/5 — Deer Hunter Classic

*2023-05-17*

This is a great game, but it has a few issues. I’ll keep it short, only going over two. 
1: The energy system is frustrating, only allowing you to play ten hunts before you have to wait fifty minutes for it to fully recharge.
2: New weapons are far too expensive. It takes months of grinding to get a region 6-10 weapon, and after that, it just gets worse and worse.
Now I want to talk about the good things about the game. Incredible graphics, steady frame rates, and realistic animals. It’s easy to hit vitals, but not too easy. All in all, it’s a really fun game, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone who likes hunting, or just fun mobile games. ✌️

### 5/5 — Nostalgia and fun

*2023-03-04*

This isn’t very often updated if it even is, but there is already so many hints and regions that make up for it. I remember once having the “hand gun” idk how hard that is to get but it was cool. I’m still playing because I had to restart and I even play Dino hunter. These are nostalgic, original, fun, and overall good to jump in and play a couple times in the day after your energy refills. Great game, I assume the new deer hunter is the only one you guys update? Either way, thank you for making the main games of my childhood. Keep it up if you can👍🏻

### 5/5 — GREAT HUNTING GAME!

*2022-08-29*

Awesome game great graphics and awesome gun mods and a huge variety of animals to hunt and awesome entertainment really good game
