Reception
In three weeks starting in May 2017, the game was downloaded 5 million times and earned USD$1 million in revenue.[1] Campbell Bird of 148apps gave Guns of Boom 4/5 describing it as a multiplayer shooter that falls just short of being amazing thanks to some weird f2p design. He also criticises how the game deals with grenades and health kits that are disposable resources and can conceivably run out and tip the scales of the fight in favor of whoever is fine with expending their resources to survive more.[2] Harry Slater of Appspy describes the game as ‘a shooter that works on touchscreen’, ‘a team-based FPS in the vein of Team Fortress 2’ and ‘not the freshest idea, but it's wonderfully put together’.[3] In another Guns of Boom review by Slater, for Pocketgamer this time, it is stated that Guns of Boom has one of the worst names he has ever had the misfortune to read during his time writing about mobile games. He also says that Guns of Boom is ‘an essential mobile multiplayer experience’, ‘with gorgeous cartoon graphics that fizzes and pops in some of the best ways possible’.[4] John Hoff of Android Community describes Guns of Boom as a multiplayer online FPS that is actually fun and engaging but has an awful name.[5]
