In Hitman Sniper, the challenge can be finding a way to take out a target without drawing attention to the shot. In Johnny Trigger: Sniper, it can come down to clearing a level with four bullets. Both work as solo sniper games, but they suit very different moods.
Start with Hitman Sniper for replayable contracts, LONEWOLF for a crime story, or Pure Sniper for a long campaign with offline play. Nine games below have Android and iPhone listings. Modern Sniper by Candy Mobile is the Android-only pick in this guide. A single-player mode lets you play without other players, while offline play describes whether that mode runs without a connection.

1. Hitman Sniper — best for replaying a contract
Agent 47 watches the action from a fixed vantage point. The interesting part is learning the scene. Guards move around, targets cross paths, and an object in the environment can give you another way to complete an objective. On a replay, knowing who will be where gives you time to try a different approach.
Pick this if you like studying a location and improving your execution on repeat runs. Much of the game revisits the same setting, which rewards familiarity and may feel repetitive if you’re looking for a new map every few minutes.
2. LONEWOLF — best for a crime story
LONEWOLF follows an unnamed assassin and uses illustrated scenes to connect its 30 missions. Briefings and story sequences give each job a place in the larger plot. During a shot, wind, distance, and movement can complicate what looked like an easy target through the scope.
This is the pick if you want a finite story to finish. Its dark tone and graphic violence make it a different choice from a cartoon arcade shooter.
3. Clear Vision 4 — best for varied assassination contracts
Clear Vision 4 uses stick-figure art for mob jobs, bounty hunts, and hostage situations. Some missions have you watch from a distance, while special operations bring you inside buildings for close-quarters sequences. That shift keeps the list of jobs from feeling like the same shot with a different backdrop.
Choose it if you want missions you can play in short bursts and more variety than a pure long-range shooter offers. On iPhone, look for the edition published by Eldring Games AB.
4. Pure Sniper — best for a long offline campaign
Pure Sniper sends you through city-based campaign zones, with target eliminations and side jobs such as hostage rescues. The extra mission types are useful when you want a different objective without leaving the campaign. You also build up a collection of weapons as you progress.
Miniclip lists the main campaign as playable offline and offers live PvP separately. That makes it a strong fit if you want one game for both travel and occasional online matches.
5. Sniper 3D — best for short missions and rifle upgrades
Sniper 3D works well in small sessions. Read the objective, locate the target, take the shot, and move on to the next contract. Upgrading weapons gives that simple loop a longer progression path. The developer lists offline missions as well as real-time PvP.
Of the two, Pure Sniper is the better starting point for exploring a campaign across different mission types. Sniper 3D fits better when you want to squeeze in a job or two and work toward your next upgrade.
6. Sniper Fury — best for military story missions
Gameloft’s Sniper Fury has a story mode built around military operations in locations ranging from Washington to Shanghai. It’s a good step up from city contracts if you want bigger set pieces and more variety in the scenery. PvP arenas and clan play sit alongside the story.
Start with the story mode if you’re there for solo assignments. The presence of a solo campaign alone doesn’t establish that it runs offline.
7. Sniper Strike — best for squad support and hostage rescues
Sniper Strike mixes long-range shooting with missions that have you cover allies and rescue hostages. That gives some scenarios a different rhythm from picking off a single target. You’re watching how the situation changes while trying to protect someone else in the scene.
The campaign sits alongside live sniper duels. Choose this over a simple contract shooter if squad support and rescue objectives are the parts you want to play.
8. Sniper Master: City Hunter — best for quick urban jobs
Sniper Master gives you city-based jobs, harder assignments to unlock, and guns to upgrade between missions. The Android listing distinguishes offline missions from the online arena. The iPhone listing also has the game and describes its arena in the update history.
It’s a straightforward option if you want a few urban assignments at a time and prefer to move directly from one mission to the next.
9. Modern Sniper — best for straightforward Android missions
Candy Mobile’s Modern Sniper has more than 50 crime missions. Some involve a single target and others put you up against several enemies. Its compact structure suits anyone who wants a clear objective and a quick restart.
This entry covers Candy Mobile’s Google Play release. Similarly named iPhone games come from other developers.
10. Johnny Trigger: Sniper — best for arcade aim puzzles
The sniper edition of Johnny Trigger gives you short levels and a tight ammunition budget. Google Play describes levels that typically give you four bullets. When several enemies are on screen, a missed shot can force a restart.
Pick it if you enjoy working out the order of your shots and want something you can play in short bursts. Look for the edition with Sniper in the title, published by SayGames.
