Sniper Fury is a first-person sharpshooter game that pits you against a wide variety of human and computer enemies in unique environments throughout the world.

Sharpshooter games have been very hit-or-miss in the past, and that is one of the reasons why many gaming enthusiasts never even consider downloading new titles in that genre. If you are ready to give sharpshooting games a second chance, then you might want to try Sniper Fury. This fast-paced game has an incredible amount of depth, and it is sure to keep you entertained for quite some time if you are a fan of tactical shooters.

Sniper Fury was originally released for mobile devices, but it has recently been ported over to Windows. The actual gameplay in Sniper Fury is fairly simple, and most people should be able to master all of the basic mechanics within a few matches. While some players have gotten various external controls to work with this game, the easiest way to play is with a touchscreen device.

When you are thrown into a firefight in Sniper Fury, you are typically locked into a handful of positions that you can move between. While some levels give you a little more freedom, most matches don’t require an overwhelming amount of tactical movements. From your position, you can zoom down your scope to take out enemy combatants or key pieces of equipment. Some matches even have puzzle-like strategies that require you to shoot various enemies and items in specific sequences. You will also need to carefully place your squadmates so that they can provide you with additional support.

The primary campaign includes just over 130 action-packed levels, and those skirmishes take place all over the globe. In one match, you might need to assassinate an enemy dictator in the middle of the night during a heavy rainstorm. Another level might require you to take out enemy helicopters in the middle of a desert before they can take off. Overall, the campaign has quite a bit of variety, and there are many RPG elements to toy around with. You will be able to unlock new skins, armor, and weapons as you progress through the game.

Sniper Fury also has a robust online system with thousands of active players. In the online gameplay, you can create or join a squad that is going to battle against other squads. Your squad will be able to carry out complex missions against computer combatants or play PvP matches against other humans. The online aspect of Sniper Fury adds an interesting and engaging element to this game, and being part of an active squad is sure to keep you coming back time and time again.
