### 3/5 — Please Add Gyro Controls!!!

*2023-01-28, version 1.34.25*

Like the title of my review says, please please please add gyro support for this game.

### 3/5 — Ok

*2020-11-12, version 1.34.15*

It’s ok just needs better aim controls

### 4/5 — Controls need tuning

*2020-06-21*

Fun but movement control needs sensitivity adjustment option (is a bit too fast) and camera needs vertical sensitivity adjustment option (it's way too fast compared to horizontal).

### 3/5 — Updates

*2018-01-04*

Can the game be updated for the latest iOS please?

### 3/5 — Awesome game, but read the review

*2017-06-26*

It's the cleanest shooter I could find on the App Store. No swearing or anything, though you do explode into blobs of red jelly and some blood when you're fragged in PvP. It's an awesome overkill shooting mania, with a pretty good 10 level campaign mode, which you can play on a few levels of difficulty (Rookie, Agent, Professional, Nightmare). 4 player botmatches or LAN play is fun, so far I haven't got Online to work. And split screen on the iPad is totally awesome! Only caveat, and why it only gets 3 stars, is because it hasn't been updated since 2014. If they don't update it to 64-bit, it will not work with iOS 11 in the fall, and I'll lose one of my favourite games. Developers, please update this game!

### 5/5 — Best Game Ever

*2016-09-05, version 1.33*

THIS gam is so awesome!!

### 5/5 — Great! Updates?

*2016-04-15*

After work is done, we've been fragging each other in instakill mode. We'd love more maps! Multi-level?! :)

### 4/5 — Awesome

*2016-04-02*

It's a really good game I love I just think this game needs have something that will elevate the game so more people can play it other than that this game is amazing and awesome

### 4/5 — It's good but

*2016-02-12*

So I've come across a glitch I play campaign I get like 8 bots playing with me also the controls are a little slippery at times and I wish you would start with a pistol and not the shotgun because a semi auto handgun would be great for the early swirving enemies you meet early on and the multiplayer is too well eh it's the same the maps are just flat and have no exact difference but it's a mobile game so I can't expect a game as great as doom and quake but this is close

### 5/5 — Classic

*2016-01-06, version 1.33*

Classic shooter nice

### 4/5 — Not too bad!

*2015-07-30*

So I've tried this app and it really isn't bad just a decent fps game, I especially liked bot mode which let's cpu's play with you. Because when you don't have wifi you can play with bots! And they seem like real players. But I think there should be a team deathmatch and better maps like ones that can have towers and such.

### 2/5 — Lots of issues

*2015-07-19, version 1.33*

The shoot button on my Steelseries controller is mapped to the shoulder button, and A,B, X,Y are not mapped to anything, mapping cant be changed. Looking around is very akward.

### 4/5 — Great game by caboose

### 3/5 — Good

### 1/5 — Nope

*2024-11-26, version 1.34.25*

This game is soo bad it is free but you have to pay to play the game

### 1/5 — Give us split screen back!

*2021-05-22, version 1.34.25*

That’s the whole point of this game

### 1/5 — Not Worth It

*2020-10-02, version 1.34.10*

That fact that you have to pay to use your controller for a game I’m gonna delete in a month or two is just bs. Y’all can do better. 1/5

### 1/5 — Game club is cancer

*2020-04-19, version 1.34.0*

They make games “free” but you’ve gotta pay a subscription to actually play them.

### 1/5 — Shame

*2016-09-02, version 1.33*

Could of being a good game but I'm a lefty and no lefty flip. 

Unforgivable 1* to good really

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2015-12-25, version 1.33*

This feels like a first person shooter from 1994

### 1/5 — Waste of time!!!!!!!!!😡

*2015-04-09*

This game is not very good at all. At the menu when it says to pick your difficulty,
And you pick rookie, it is not rookie!😡😡😡😡😡😡😡👿
The first mission has only two enemies in it. The third has turrets with 74 enemies!  The controls are hard to handle and it is a waste of time AND money. And time is money.

### 1/5 — Please add the "same device coop" on iPad mini!!!

*2015-02-15, version 1.33*

I get the game for the coop in my iPad but I don have it on the menu, please mates add it and this game will be brilliant.

### 1/5 — This doesn't work

*2014-12-06, version 1.33*

I used money on this and it doesn't work it crashes when I get on it

### 1/5 — Great but...

*2014-06-17, version 1.31*

Awesome game to play split screen with but it's impossible to find an online match :( I guess just not enough people play the game? That's really why I got the game :P you should do some updates and get the game more popular! More popular=better for the customer=more money for you guys! Thanks! -Jack

### 5/5 — Can it be free?

*2024-10-18, version 1.34.25*

I seriously love this game but can it be free cause I don’t want to pay some money just to play the game otherwise it is just good or something but the plasma gun needs to be like more faster and I want to see some blood and gore gameclub

### 5/5 — Neon shadow

*2020-08-31, version 1.34.6*

Great mobile game

### 5/5 — upgrade to ios 11 please

*2018-03-16, version 1.33*

I love this game, it’s one of if not the purest arena fps experience on ios, tight gunplay, no reloading, fast and frantic movement and tight close quarters maps. Splitscreen on tablets is a nice additon too but sadly restricted to two players with no bots. Can you please update the game to run on ios 11 I’ve been dying to play this game for months

### 5/5 — Update for iOS 11!!

*2017-11-24*

Please Update!!!! Amazing game I can’t play anymore on iOS 11!!!

### 5/5 — It's good but

*2016-11-04*

It's probably the best game I ever played, but I don't know how to change your name to anything other but player. I go online and I see "killer has joined the game", but when I fragile somebody, it says "player has fragged player". Plz tell me how to change my name!!!
EDIT now I know how to change my name: I go to the Game Center
