Sniper Fury

The armory provides you with a host of weapons ranging from assault rifles, sniper rifles, rail guns and a few top-secret prototypes. The 3D graphics are outstanding with plenty of detail and the effects offer realistic conditions that can impact your shooting conditions. Such as missions taking place in a snow storm where visibility is considerably reduced.

Along with the mission-based gameplay, Sniper Fury also includes a player-v-player mode where you can steal resources from other players by defeating their resources. These resources can be used to upgrade your arsenal. If that wasn't enough, there are also daily events where you can win special weapons and prizes.

The only downside to Sniper Fury is that after the initial install of the game, a 720MB download is required. It's not a deal breaker, but don't expect to install and immediately jump into the action with Sniper Fury.

Last Hope – Zombie Sniper 3D

Last Hope Zombie Sniper 3D

The zombie apocalypse has struck and it is your job to defend your desert home from being overrun by the the shambling dead. Armed with a sniper's rifle and a handgun, you must pick off the zombies before they eat your brain.

Last Hope

Last Hope's armory includes a nice selection of firepower that includes assault rifles, sniper rifles, tommy guns and shotguns. You can also buy an assortment of backup weapons such as a fire axe, ninja star and an assortment of handguns.

Last Hope includes dozens of missions where you travel across your desert neighborhood to eliminate wandering zombies. These missions have you visiting the local athletic fields, canyons, villages and more. Controls are simple, graphics full of detail and gameplay offers plenty of challenges ranging from lining up your shots and finding all the zombies to blast.

The only nit I have with Last Hope is that an ad-banner is positioned at the top of the menu screens that blocks the upper portion of the screen. Luckily the ad-banner disappears during gameplay but to fully appreciate the free game, you need to make an in-app purchase of at least $1.29 to get rid of the banner.

Last Hope – Zombie Sniper 3D is available for Windows 10 PC and Mobile. It does have more of an arcade game feel, but Last Hope is a decent choice for those times you have a little time to waste.
