Hitman: Sniper is the latest Square Enix title to go live, don’t be afraid to get creative with your kill shots
Square Enix has been putting a lot of effort into bringing great titles to Android users for a number of years. Fans of the Final Fantasy series have had the chance to pick up a number of classics to play on the go over the years. The gaming studio has also brought other great titles like Mini Ninjas, Dues EX: The Fall and the THIEF companion apps. Another great set of titles that they are behind is Hitman. The first Hitman title they brought forward was Hitman Go. It was more of a strategic board game puzzler, but it was fun none the less. Now they are stepping up their game in the Hitman line up with the release of Hitman: Sniper.
As you would think, the title is all about long-range sniper action with a purpose. You continue on as the infamous Agent 47 who is sitting in a fixed position from afar looking to complete his assignment. The title features over 150 missions set in Montenegro. Each mission will offer up a variety of ways to complete them, the best path might not be the easiest, but will grant you more rewards when completed. For instance, mastering undetected kills using environmental objects to eliminate your target rather than just shooting them in the head.
As you progress you will find weapon parts and blueprints to help you construct 13 epic sniper rifles to help you carry out your objectives. Square Enix also states that there is a solid replay value as you will be able to uncover more secrets as contracts evolve. I imagine you might need to play a mission over a few times to find the best kill solution for maximum score. After all, there is a leaderboard in place to help you take aim at your friends abilities as an assassin.
Hitman: Sniper will set you back $4.99 right out the door and it does off in-app purchases ranging from $0.99 – $9.99. I haven’t installed it just yet , so I can’t speak to how well you will be able to progress without spending more real money though.
