### 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.

### 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.

### 4/5 — Okay

*2025-01-17*

The game is a bit buggy sometimes, but however, I still like it.

### 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.

### 3/5 — Tolles Spiel

*2024-09-07*

ISchön zu sehen dass es sowas noch gibt. Kein inapp purchase gepusche. Ist das letzte update deshalb 2 Jahre her. Macht mega Spaß. Hoffe das bleibt so. Aber mehr waffen wäre mir der zeit schon mal fällig.

### 4/5 — Perfect but !!!

*2024-07-19*

The game is perfect, I was playing long time ago sense on website. The problem is some teams i have exit the game and back again, you have lag issue need to be fix. 
V/R

### 2/5 — At first good down hill fast

*2024-05-27, version 1.0.0*

This game looked really fun but NEVER loaded even after reinstalling it but if this gets fixed I’ll update this review

### 4/5 — Screensize/Format

*2024-01-13*

Nice mobile version of this game…
But on my Ipad 12‘9 Inches after achieving a new Skill, 2 or 3 vertical Lines of Skills from the huge list are cut of from the screen…

### 4/5 — Cooles Spiel aber…

*2023-08-05*

Ich finde es ist ein sehr tolles Spiel aber man könnte mal Updates rausbringen. Oder auch eine bessere Lösung für die Lobbys das man halt mit Leuten spielen kann die auf ungefähr gleichen Level sind wie man selbst. Außerdem habe ich als ich das Spiel selbst zum ersten Mal runtergeladen habe nicht wirklich einen guten Überblick gehabt mittlerweile geht es aber

### 3/5 — Wo kann man denn den Namen ändern?

*2023-05-12*

Bitte kann mir wer bei Snapchat tippen, wo man den Name ändern kann. Name: originalHyperz

### 3/5 — Keine Updates seit fast 1 Jahr

*2023-03-29*

Ich finde das Spiel super ist echt gut gelungen. Bin aktuell lvl 90 Vlt trifft ihr mich im Spiel heiße Lucifer. Ich bin sehr traurig das das Spiel keine Updates bekommt. Z.B. es gibt ein Achivement wo man ein Turnier gewinnen soll obwohl zum jetzigen Status 1.0.0. keine Turniere gibt womit man ja bestätigt das ein Turnier Modus geplant ist oder der warscheinlich bekannteste Bug im Spiel der Random Blackscreen wo man dann das Spiel Neustarten muss. Sowas muss halt nicht sein und ist warscheinlich nicht schwer zu patchen also zu beheben. Das man mit so wenig Motivation an die Sache rangeht ist halt echt traurig. Der Mobile Markt ist etwas wo man sehr viel Geld verdienen kann Vorallem wenn man schon ein Bekanntes PC Game aufs Handy bringt. Ich finds toll das es keine In App Käufe gibt aber wenn man In App Käufe rein bringen würde könnte man die Mobile Version von Shell Shock unterstützen und dadurch Vlt mehr Aufmerksamkeit aufs Spiel bringen. Echt ein Tolles Spiel und auch super umgesetzt vom PC aufs Handy fühlt sich sogar so an als ob es von Anfang an nur für Handy wäre und nicht fürs PC. So viel verschwendetes Potenzial. Hoffe sie werden sich umentscheiden und mehr Liebe zum Spiel geben. Leider nur eine 3/5 Sterne. kaufempfehlung nur an die die das Spiel Vlt für immer auf der gleichen Version 1.0.0 Spielen würden und Vlt nie neuer Content hinzu kommt. Ansonsten keine Kaufempfehlung.

### 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.

### 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

### 1/5 — SCAM DO NOT BUY

*2024-12-22, version 1.0.0*

gets no updates, “invite friends” doesn't work. only the campaign, ai matches, or quick play with random internet people of who there are few.

### 1/5 — INVITE button error, no new guns, no new challenges, HURRRY UP

*2024-07-20*

Hurrry up and update!!!!

### 1/5 — I could not join

*2023-11-28, version 1.0.0*

I literally could not join I had two bars of WiFi and I could not join it’s probably a bug but still so annoying and this game costs 2 dollars and I could not join this is a scam

### 1/5 — Needs optimization for iPad

*2023-11-21*

The screen goes dark. I thinks it’s a zoom issue, but I can’t zoom back out. Works fine on the phone

Still no fix

Also really needs team chat.  I know it’s available, because I saw the option once when the screen when black and I chatted to the group

### 1/5 — Ain’t gonna pay twice

*2023-04-03, version 1.0.0*

I already bought the game, got a new phone now it wants my info to pay again so I can’t play cause I’m not gonna pay twice, and I’m using the same iCloud and email so it should let me in the game

### 1/5 — Too many bugs

*2023-03-31, version 1.0.0*

Way too many bugs in software to be played

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Updates

*2025-01-31*

Bitte arbeitet wieder mehr an dem Game, auch mit in Game Käufe. Eines der besten Spiele

### 5/5 — Playable every now and then.

*2024-09-09*

Listen. I’ve known about this game for years but never considered checking if it had a mobile version. Game is fun as it seems on YT. But idk why but the game bugs out a good amount of the time it just kicks you out. You can’t add people to make friends and no team chat like there is on PC.

Gave a 5 rating because it is fun but the few bugs that it has are making it unplayable at times.

### 5/5 — Controller Support

*2024-02-07*

Please implement controller support

### 5/5 — New weapons please

*2023-10-08*

There’s weapons that aren’t in the game update this asap

### 5/5 — Game center problem

*2023-09-12*

Die Möglichkeit shellshock live zu spielen ist nur möglich wenn man ein game center konto hat und dort angemeldet ist das Problem ist aber immer wenn ich mich dort anmelde steht da (Kommunikations Fehlerhaft) und ich hab keine Ahnung wie ich das weck herkommen……Ich würde micu freuen wenn die Entwickler es ohne dieses game center möglich machen shellshock live zu spielen

### 5/5 — 아이패드는 안 되나요?

*2023-06-23*

아이패드는 안 되나요?

### 5/5 — Обновления

*2023-04-13*

Обновите как на ПК

### 5/5 — No controller support.

*2023-03-31, version 1.0.0*

Other than no controller support I absolutely love this game.

### 5/5 — Very good

*2023-03-11, version 1.0.0*

Good game, bit of nostalgia

### 5/5 — Certain weapons

*2023-01-24*

Don’t get me wrong, the game is absolutely amazing while playing on my iPad. At the time of this, I am Level 78. 

But the weapons that aren’t in the game are: Construction, Paprika, Cayenne, Drone, Heavy Drone, Oddball, Oddbomb, Botherer, Tormenter, Punisher, Permaroller and Heavy Permaroller that aren’t available in the game. 

Does anyone know why they aren’t in the game for me? 

The only explanation I can think of is that I am playing on my iPad compared to on a computer or something. Like I said, if anyone knows why I don’t have all those weapons, then let me know.
