I’m honestly disappointed this could be a great game but you really didn’t take that chance. ### 4/5 — Good but long waiting time *2018-04-23, version 3.0.1* I think over kill is a good game but im think it has too much Waiting time for it on my phone ### 1/5 — Was a masterpiece... now a psych ward patient. *2018-01-16, version 3.0.1* This was a beautiful game with a non-stop action flow that kept players playing. Now it’s lifeless, dull and without content or real reason to play. No progression or suspense. Check it out yourself sometime then watch the older version online on something. It’s okay to cry... ### 2/5 — Not the same!!! *2018-01-03, version 3.0.1* Game has changed a lot not for better either ### 1/5 — Excuse me? *2017-12-17, version 3.0.1* W-w-what happened to the original overkill?!? Did I miss something? The original overkill was amazing, maybe not a masterpiece, but still amazing! There was a decent selection of guns, the maps were well drawn, and the gun sights looked amazing, as well as the guns sounds! There was sense of progression, and even a whole tournament for high scores in survival mode! Now it seems its been turned into some worse, cheaper version of their gun range 2 thing (which is also bad.) Now, I’m shooting at scarecrows with a peashooter that sounds like a old man panting, and you can’t even aim down sights! The screen just zooms in for some kind of pseudo aim, like css. Great use of that 3D guys. What happened here? Who at Craneballs thought “oh this will be GENIUS”? Guys. Change it back. You know it’s the right thing to do. If you want this version of overkill to exist, then make it a separate app, don’t ruin the original! Remember, it was the game that started you off years ago. Is this how you’re going to treat it? Disgusting. ### 2/5 — WHY DID YOU CHANGE IT *2017-11-29, version 3.0.1* This game WAS awesome...What happened? I lost all my progress, controls are awful and to top it off, I’m shooting straw filled dummies! I’m sorry did someone get "offended" by the cheesy violence it had before. C’mon guys, put it back the way it was, that’s all I’m saying... ### 3/5 — change it back *2017-11-24, version 3.0.1* I loved this game, just went on for the 1st time in a while and they changed the game completely. I had like 5 guns and pretty much lost them. not to mention they are like dummy’s you shoot now, please change back!!! ### 4/5 — CHANGE IT BACK *2017-11-19, version 3.0.1* I love this game, but I played it a year ago and there were enemies. Now there are just dummies. Please change it back ### 2/5 — Switch to old version *2017-10-21, version 3.0.1* Switch back to the old Overkill version before iOS 11. I liked the set up of that version better. It felt more like a shooter. Had better looking loading screens, and game modes. ### 4/5 — PLEASE READ!!! *2017-10-01, version 3.0.1* I love this game with all my heart and couldn’t possibly ask for more in it, but I think you should make all of your awesome games 12+ instead of 17+ because they are not too violent and more people would play them if you change this. Thanks for reading! ### 1/5 — WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?! *2017-09-27, version 3.0.1* This update didn't just give the game 64-bit support. It completely changed the game into something completely different! The game was fine as it was, and now it's a mere mixture of Gun Master & Overkill 3! Not to mention, all of my progress was wiped off the face of the earth! Was this 'remake' really necessary?! I want the old version back! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not what it used to be *2022-05-24, version 3.0.1* I could’ve sworn at one point there was a list of actual missions you could take on and something else to shoot at then dummies. Sad to see a classic fall like that. ### 1/5 — Change it back *2021-12-06, version 3.0.1* “I recommend this game to all who like shooting games It crashes on my iPod some times but i love it” The quoted review was my review as a child many years back. It was fantastic and nostalgic. Whatever you did to it is horrible and an insult to the original. Port the old game back please. This new version is lack luster and boring. ### 1/5 — Where is the original?? *2021-10-31, version 3.0.1* What happened?? The update was so unnecessary and takes away from the nostalgia from the original. ### 1/5 — New version is garbage. *2020-06-17, version 3.0.1* The older non 3D version was way more intuitive and felt much better to play. And enemies actually shot back. This 3D update has ruined the game entirely. ### 1/5 — I miss the old targets *2019-12-25, version 3.0.1* I’ve played this game before, I had downloaded it on my iPod touch in like 2011 or 2012 and it was fun.. I re installed it to find that they changed the targets to dummies??? I much preferred the timed targets, actually did damage to you. Also the aim down sight is gone if you aren’t using a reflex? This game was way better the old way. ### 1/5 — Update *2019-12-23, version 3.0.1* Not a fan of what you did there wit the whole renovation of the app due to 32 bit remodeling of the map I just wish you really put in the amount effort as you did to the other apps of the franchise and actually render out the original well designed maps for its time. Reverting the app to its original state which had currency of which was called OM along wit the nostalgic music may just be what is called for a remaster of the game which could include the same weapons and AI of the computerized AI Bots I remember enjoying (ADS) aiming down sights shooting to the point where not even bein able to aim or call in strikes like the original really seems to upset me to the point where it does start to really grind my gears on how great development went to how poorly distributed the new update left the poor old legendary game which was by books far alike an editors choice. ### 1/5 — This game is horrible *2018-11-03, version 3.0.1* Is this some type of joke or I got hit in the head by something because this game is boring nothing is fun about this game Developers make a better game than this! ### 1/5 — What the hell *2018-06-11, version 3.0.1* Why did u guy do this to over kill the first one was the best one you had kill enemies to stay alive and now what you just at target practice there were way maps guns. Come on developers you can do better change it back to the old one. ### 1/5 — And it’s ruined *2018-04-22, version 3.0.1* They’ve deviated completely from the beginnings of this game. It looks like a cheap imitation of the first version and all of the intensity and high stakes are gone. Not to mention, I had poured a bit of money into upgrading guns and now it’s all gone. What a travesty that they didn’t listen to their paying customers. ### 1/5 — where is the original overkill *2018-03-20, version 3.0.1* Man what is this 3D crap the original game was replaced with. I was going to come back to play the still, well drawn, non 3D graphics crap iteration of the series and found myself pretty disappointed. Change it back or rerelease it guys I can't be the only one who finds the 3D graphics for these games unbearable and cringey. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Stoped working *2021-08-24, version 3.0.1* A pop up comes up and say it needs additional content and then 0 persent Downloaded remains on screen , Does this everytime started when i selected ti buy gun after that game stoped working just thr same pop up 0 percent downloaded ,is there a fix i was just starting to get into this game Other than that game is good , ### 5/5 — Great FPS... *2018-10-06, version 3.0.1* I have spent many hours looking for a hassle free FPS...and this is it...so stop your search and install this program...you will be glad you did. ### 5/5 — Good but make the maps cost less *2018-08-04, version 3.0.1* Why does the downtown cost 2:99 ### 5/5 — Absolutely hilarious *2018-07-28, version 3.0.1* I love the whole “whack-a-mole” them but there are two dummy’s that stop moving if you hit them once witch I think is a flaw you should fix but props to you guys and I have a few ideas for this game like adding in DLC’s and a zombie mode where every 5 seconds they move closer and more spawn that keeps going until the zombies get you and also I think you should add a premium neighborhood map that gives you 25% score that costs 25mil so that we players can get a premium map without real money but we still have to do some work and I also think you should add these guns to the game Minigun RPG Glock Crossbow And there should also be a “mystery box” system where every week you get a free mystery box and you can open these mystery boxes with mystery keys witch you get from getting 50,000 score in one round witch is a reasonable amount or you get it from leveling up (I’ll get to that later) and in the mystery box’s you can get XP guns and money and you should also add a leveling up system where the more you level up the more guns you unlock Again this is my opinion and you probably won’t see this message but if you do please respond and tell me if you will or won’t be using my ideas for future updates See ya 🤟 ### 5/5 — One of the best game I have played *2018-03-13, version 3.0.1* I love this game. I love the amount of guns in it. There is a bug where when I’m looking around the screen goes to a different place and I would love to see that fixed. I also like the amount of customization with the guns ### 5/5 — Great game highly recommend *2018-01-21, version 3.0.1* Great game highly recommend ### 5/5 — Overkill *2017-10-23, version 3.0.1* Totally sick totally recommend it ### 5/5 — Best app had it since first days of it being out *2017-10-03, version 3.0.1* Awesome ### 5/5 — Awesome game *2017-07-17, version 2.5* This is a fun awesome game that I think you should download. ### 5/5 — Overkill *2016-09-03, version 2.5* This has been one of my favorite FPS games I have played.
