    Trigger Fist is a top down spray shooter disguised as a third person shooter- at it's core you will find a decent game, but there is just not enough depth to the gameplay nor enough content included to entertain you for more than shallow minutes. The controls are simple and wonderful- you will never feel yourself fighting them.

The controls are simple and wonderful- you will never feel yourself fighting them. Basically you have a standard third person shooter, except you cannot look up or down nor can you move vertically on the battlespace- all the action takes place on one plane. You can crouch behind objects but it is pointless because you leave your head exposed and often cannot shoot while doing so. The only way to prevent yourself from being shot by enemies is to hide behind cover where you will not be able to see much going on around you due to the tight camera angle- this could have been a great time for the developer to integrate a peek and lean system, but that didn't happen. Shooting is easy- the camera automatically zooms in when your targeting reticle moves over an enemy player, and pop- or burst-firing at enemies from long range actually brings decent success. You can play solo against bots who have incredible awareness of the map and excellent aim, or you can go online and play against a maximum of three other players with the rest of the game's slots being filled out with bots. This means you will rarely play with or against humans. The bots are decent at following their waypoints, but become predictable and annoying simply because they often can spot and kill you from fairly ridiculous ranges. You can upgrade your character through in-app purchases or by playing the game, but it takes far too long and is far too painful of a grind to earn medium to higher ranking upgrades or weapons by playing. This is disappointing because players can earn these upgrades by playing offline and were it easier to earn them it would have given the game more of a sense of progression as well as a sense of purpose in the user for playing it- but this isn't the case. With only 4 game modes and less than 6 maps to choose from, not to mention the continuous struggle with the same old bots filling out the game's space, this game will get old fast. Worth a try if you can get it for free, but little else.… Expand

    Trigger Fist is probably the only iOS shooter which doesn't try to emulate console titles, and that's the main reason why it's such an unique and truly enjoyable multiplayer experience.

    A 3D third-person shooter, surprisingly fresh and addictive with many customizable options for our character. Not very original or visually stunning, but still very enjoyable. The lack of campaign mode and its price are the two things customers might consider negative, but it is definitely one of the best games of this genre on iOS.

    Featuring single-player and multiplayer game modes, interesting design choices, a bunch of weapons, and fast-paced action, Trigger Fist is an enticing offering in a week full of ho-hum releases.
