10 Messed Up Nintendo Switch Games You Won't Believe Exist
3. Ski Sniper
No monsters or jump scares here; Ski Sniper is a different, next-level type of messed up.
The basic premise is this: select a vantage point during a skiing competition, and try to pick of the ski jumpers with a sniper rifle as they enjoy their sport.
Missing your target is easy, given the nature of ski jumping and the speed at which the competitors are propelled down the slopes.
Hold your breath, however, time your shot to perfection, and the view will shift from the familiar sniper reticle of shooters everywhere, to a zoomed in, slowed down view of the bullet as it flies toward its target.
Akin to games like Sniper Elite, we switch to X-ray view as the bullet hits with surgical precision, awarding the player loot which scales with the accuracy of the shot.
Hit him in the leg? Probably 50. Obliterate his spleen? Maybe 500.
Headshots are obviously worth the most loot, which can be used to purchase better weapons with which to execute sportspeople with even greater expediency next time around.
It's hard to comprehend the thought process which ultimately arrived at this as the basis of a video game, but here's to making it a franchise.
Cricket Sniper, anyone?
