PLAY THE FIRST MISSION FOR FREE Begin your killer career with the first of Blood Money’s massively replayable sandbox missions, then unlock the complete game with a single in-app purchase. === You are Agent 47 — a trained killer caught in the crosshairs of a rival agency, “The Franchise”. Embark on an daring mission to take out a shadowy conspiracy’s lethal architects, and employ every tool at your disposal to get the job done while keeping a low profile. Infiltrate, execute, and escape undetected. Featuring gameplay improvements inspired by later games in the series, Reprisal is an artful redesign of a stealth-action classic — complete with a fully customisable touchscreen interface and full gamepad support. EXECUTION IS EVERYTHING Become a master of disguise, ingenuity and improvisation. With multiple ways to approach each objective, Blood Money’s sandbox missions encourage experimentation, creativity, and repeat playthroughs. THE ULTIMATE PROFESSIONAL Hit hard with an arsenal of upgradable weapons. Perform silent, witness-free kills, or manipulate the environment to engineer tragic “accidents”. The cleaner the hit, the better the payoff. INTRODUCING INSTINCT MODE The devil is in the details. Inspired by later HITMAN games, Instinct Mode highlights targets, guards and mission-critical points of interest for stealthy kills and quick getaways — the hallmarks of a professional assassin. ONE STEP AHEAD An all-new minimap offers situational awareness in real-time, while added alerts warn players when 47 is trespassing or arousing suspicion. COMPLETE CONTROL Tailor the touchscreen controls, connect a gamepad, or utilise full keyboard and mouse support. Whatever your playstyle, complete control is always at your fingertips. === We recommend playing Hitman: Blood Money — Reprisal on iOS 16 or later. You need 3.9GB of free space on your device, though we recommend at least double this to avoid initial installation issues.

The clearest difference is rating: GTA III at 4.7 against Hitman's 4.3. GTA III also leads on chart position (#196 vs unranked). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Hitman sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and GTA III sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

GTA III holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 566 and 580 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 68% of Hitman's written reviews are positive against 63% of GTA III's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
