Sniper Killer follows a string of murders through the perspectives of the Sniper Killer, Detective Comardy, and people caught up in the case. As the detective, you pursue clues and try to understand the killings; as the sniper, you prepare attacks from concealed vantage points.
Sniping chapters involve choosing a position, lining up targets, and waiting for the right moment to fire. Detective sections focus on exploring crime scenes, examining evidence, and speaking with witnesses and colleagues.
The story unfolds across chapters in locations including city streets and a state carnival, mixing horror, mystery, and dark comedy. Hidden golden bullets can be collected to unlock optional bonus missions.
Players often praise the eerie retro atmosphere, the mystery-driven story, and the contrast between playing as the killer and investigating as Comardy. Sniping missions, memorable characters, and darkly funny dialogue also stand out for some reviewers. Reactions to the ending and final boss are mixed, while some players criticize the short runtime, optional bonus missions, or technical problems.
There's a killer with a keen eye and a thirst for blood stalking this city, and a hard-boiled detective losing his sanity trying to catch him.
In Sniper Killer, you take on the role of both Detective Comardy and the cryptic "Sniper Killer" as the story unravels after each victim has their brains splattered across the ground by a well placed shot. From the scummy streets of the city to the state carnival, no location is safe from the Sniper's watchful eye.
How does he choose his victims? Does he have a motive for these seemingly random acts of atrocities? Can the burnt-out detective solve this case before even more bodies start piling up? This retro horror thriller is enough to make any true-crime fans pick up their detective hats and start searching for clues. Can you solve the case in time? Or will your head be just another target for the Sniper Killer?
