Tips and tricks
- Prioritise the threat that will hurt you soonest, not the one that is closest or biggest. Fast enemies before slow ones, shooters before melee.
- Aim first, then shoot. Spraying costs time or ammo and rarely helps; a single well-placed shot almost always beats three rushed ones.
- Learn the spawn points. Most levels reuse the same few entry points, and knowing them turns panic into routine.
- If there is a reload, reload during quiet moments — never in the middle of a wave.
- Because this is a Shooting game, aim before you fire, and fire in short bursts.
- Because this is a Arcade game, restart early when a run goes wrong instead of grinding out a poor score.
Who will enjoy it
We would recommend Open Fire to players who like precision, quick targeting and progressively tougher waves. Expect levels of a few minutes each, with longer runs in survival modes. The learning curve is approachable at first, with a steep climb in the later waves. The controls are tap and drag based, which makes it comfortable on touch screens as well as with a mouse.
