WP App Review : Guns4Hire


Guns 4 Hire (Version 1.4.10)
Rebellion
Free

The marketplace has it's share of great games, but once in a while there is a game which fully showcases what's capable on smartphones of today. Guns4Hire is a visually stunning strategy shooter which would not look out of place on console or PC. The beautiful graphics combined with excellent game play and lots of customization make this game worth taking a look at.


Guns4Hire is a strategy shooter where you are in command of a squad of four soldiers. You partake in mini-missions where you run through a small map, killing enemies, destroying your surroundings, and collecting items. Your point of view is from above and you control movement by tapping on any area of the screen to progress your squad. Your squad of four will automatically shoot when hostiles are nearby but you can also tap on a specific target to concentrate on a particular person or object. Also available via a side menu are grenades, landmines, airstrikes, etc.



When you enter a map, a short but beautifully rendered cut-scene takes place, and once you complete your mission you'll select to be evacuated. Depending on your kills, items collected, etc. you'll rack up money and other special points so that you can upgrade your squad. Although the game is free to play, there is a pay system in place where you can purchase diamonds to acquire specific items, such as health, to hurry your progress. Otherwise you'll have to wait it out to regenerate your health.


The money and diamonds you collect can be used to upgrade each soldier, strengthening their attack, making their health regen quicker, etc. Diamonds can also be used to "borrow" armor and other helpful items for your missions.


Overall, Guns4Hire is an excellent game featuring solid game play and beautiful graphics. The missions are short and sweet so it's perfect for on-the-go gaming and still has lasting appeal with it's many upgrades and missions you can partake in. If you're at all interested in strategy shooters this game is a must download.

Pros : Beautiful graphics, solid game play, short and sweet missions for mobile gaming
Cons : Need to pay to hurry your progress
