The smaller, bite-sized nature of the missions and generous checkpoints work well, meaning it’s also right at home on the Switch. Those that love that sort of thing will be right at home. There’s loads to do within the game too, with in-game achievements, a variety of modes and online, as well as two types of collectibles, bottles and gold bars.

Whether this is unique to the Switch version or an issue with the series in general is unclear There were some graphical issues with the x-ray kill camera, as sometimes it wouldn’t show correctly. That said, it is just hiding in cover and sniping – and 1000 poor German troops were slaughtered, some quite graphically – during the jolly across Germany. The pace of the game took a while to grasp, being more used to traditional shooters, but as the campaign wore on I grew more captivated.
So, should you pick it up? Well, on the whole, I quite enjoyed my time with Sniper Elite V2 Remastered. Garrison Bonus: Sniper Elite V2 Remastered contains both local and online multiplayer modes. The servers aren’t particularly populated at the time of review, so hopefully as (and if) more people pick the game up then you’ll get more action. There’s also multiplayer action in play too, whether you fancied tackling the main campaign with others (online or locally), or just engaging in some long distance snipe-offs. Waves of enemies will descend upon you, and you have to rack up as many kills as you can, surviving as long as possible and utilising all of the skills you’ve learned along the way. On top of that is a “Kill Tally” mode, which essentially acts as the games’ “horde” style mode. Firstly, there are four additional challenge missions, including one where you can actually assassinate Hitler himself, if you so desire. In addition to the ten-mission main campaign, you’ll also get a blast at a variety of other modes. Max Ammo: Sniper Elite V2 Remastered contains all DLC in one complete package.Īs a “remastered” game, V2 has had a bit of a spruce up since its original 2012 release, and it also comes with all of the subsequently released DLC. If you don’t cringe when blasting expertly through some poor chaps cherries then you must be evil…
Wherever you strike them gets played out incredibly graphically, some worse than others. Successful shots activate a slow-motion “X-Ray Kill”, and will show the bullet’s trajectory through each poor solider. What will be broken on the other hand, is many of your enemies’ bones and body parts. Without initially taking this on board, it was difficult to work out if the game was broken or not – it wasn’t. Mastery of all of these will be essential, and remembering that the sniper uses a different zoom button will help perfect your shots. It’s also used for holding your breath for a short while when sniping!
R is for using whichever additional item you have selected, being it a trusty rock, a trip mine or for lobbing grenades. Aiming is actually on two buttons, with ZL being your aim down the sights – the scope is activated by a press of the L. Depressing the left stick enables sprinting, whilst shooting your weapon – of which you can have three – is with ZR. A is your interact button (vaulting, completing mission objectives like planting explosives), B allows you to crouch (or go prone), Y is your reload and X snaps you into cover, should any be available. Presented in the third person, the game controls exactly as you’d expect. Reloaded: A remastered version of Sniper Elite V2, released in 2012, this isn’t the game’s first time on a Nintendo platform, as it originally came to Wii U. Your journey will see you engage in a whole host of missions where you’ll need to be patient, sneaky, and, of course, deadly with a sniper rifle. Run-and-gun this is not: you are tasked with eliminating scientists that are developing the fabled V2 rockets. The first thing to take into consideration is that despite its military attire and setting and the fabulous scope of weapons in your arsenal, Sniper Elite V2 Remastered is just as much a tactical stealth game as it is a WWII-themed shooter. The military shooter scene on the Switch is also something that’s a little threadbare, so we had high hopes for this one.
That in itself is not new the system is rapidly attracting titles from yesteryear to find a new audience. Sniper Elite V2 Remastered is rather obviously a port of an older title, this one having previously been on Wii U, finding its way to the Nintendo Switch.
