### 3/5 — Steam account link

*2026-04-25*

I used to love this game and played it on steam. I wanted to move my account onto this but it makes you start all over again. Wish they added a link account feature with steam.

### 1/5 — 🤬👎

*2026-02-03, version 1.0.0*

Worse game out of the bad games I played. Everyone beats me and very strict bullets

👎👾😾

### 1/5 — Multiplayer Invite Friends Does Not Work - September 2025

*2025-09-21*

This game use to be a fun goto game to play with my girlfriend; however, all of a sudden the invite function in multiplayer stopped working. It’s been several months (wouldn’t be surprised if it has been or will be a year(s) of checking with no change). For a game that cost money to play I would expect a bug fix to maintain the game at the minimum especially if it’s still on the App Store. For what it’s worth I have also submitted a request to the official ShellShockLive website to address the issue months already.

### 4/5 — Good game but

*2025-09-11*

I love this game it’s super fun but I wish there was an offline mode for just pass and play and missions. Also the game just sometimes blacks out out of nowhere.

### 1/5 — Don’t bye

*2025-08-16, version 1.0.0*

Sometimes when you’re playing the game with everything will just go black I mean this game is really cool at first but one the screen just turned black it’s not fun anymore

### 5/5 — Updates

*2025-01-31*

### 4/5 — Okay

*2025-01-17*

### 1/5 — SCAM DO NOT BUY

*2024-12-22, version 1.0.0*

### 3/5 — A good replica of the original but

*2024-11-12*

I don’t usually write reviews; but I just wanted to say what a shame it is that once you complete all the singleplayer missions, you cannot get any more xp in singleplayer. Like, there’s a ‘Skirmish’ mode in singleplayer, but you get 0 xp. Even when replaying missions you don’t get anything. You HAVE to play multiplayer, which just isn’t active anymore. It’s a shame being locked to half the game’s weapons and content because of this. 

Also wanted to mention that there’s a few bugs here and there that are fine, but it’s weird that you can’t turn off obstacles like in the desktop version. Just mildly annoying.
