Hitman GO is a turn-based puzzle game with beautifully rendered diorama-style set pieces. You will strategically navigate fixed spaces on a grid to avoid enemies and take out your target or infiltrate well-guarded locations.

• Challenging puzzles that put your assassination skills to the test
• Beautiful scale model-style visuals

• Agent 47’s tools of the trade: Distractions, disguises, hiding spots, sniper rifles and even the iconic Silverballers
• Different enemy types with unique and deadly behaviours
• Different ways of completing each level, silently or forcefully

Ratings and reviews

Got this game on sale for $0.99, but I feel that it would have been worth it even at the full asking price. The mechanics are very simple, but the puzzles are complex enough to keep you interested. And for the completionists out there - each level has different challenges, such as no kills, kill everyone, maximum number of moves, retrieve a briefcase to bring to the the exit, etc.

Hitman go has a stylish appearance that compromises readability. The camera plays against you, constantly moving in too close and limiting visibility of the board, if you zoom out is hard to read the elements of the board. The controls are not good either. Tomb raider fixed the camera angle and allowed you to drag anywhere on the screen to move, here we have to drag the character, already uncomfortable as it is the camera shifting all the time doesn't help. Good puzzles though.

Hitman Go is an amazing app. For only 99 cents, you get tons of challenging, almost impossible levels that can be completed in multiple ways. This is a board game version of hitman, so don't expect to shoot people and hide bodies. The visuals are very appealing and I often found myself pondering on how to complete a certain objective on a level.
