ZOQSY Shadowline

About the Game

ZOQSY Shadowline is an original 3D sniper campaign of 50 missions across ten theatres: Alpine Frontier, Desert Citadel, Neon Megacity, Tropical Archipelago, Industrial Complex, Ancient Canyon, Coastal Cliffs, Arctic Research Station, Forest Valley and Night Operations. Every mission is its own scene — its own site, layout, cast, light and weather, from dawn snowfields to a sandstorm, a monsoon harbour, fog on a fishing pier and the aurora over an ice camp. Read the briefing, fly in to your observation post and take the rifle. The targets are synthetic operatives of an invented syndicate, and the briefing tells you how to recognise the right one: a red armband, an orange hard hat, a briefcase, a violet visor. Tag figures through the scope to check their kit; technicians, hostages and the wrong operative must never be hit. The scope zooms from 3× to 16×, the reticle carries mil marks, and the shot is simulated: the rifle is zeroed at 100 m, the round drops and drifts with the wind beyond that, and it takes time to arrive, so moving targets need a lead. Hold your breath to steady the sway. Missions range from a single careful shot to convoys, a train that will not wait, a protect run where you stop two enforcers before they reach a hostage, three jammers in 45 seconds and a 700 m shot to a mesa top. Each mission has a time limit, an optional bonus and a score with up to three stars; the next mission unlocks when you complete one, and all 50 earn the Shadowline insignia. Every mission was completed by an autopilot through the game's own ballistics and hit detection before release. Progress is saved in your browser. Mouse and keyboard or touch controls, adjustable sensitivity, and Auto, Low, Medium and High graphics.

How to Play

Pick an unlocked mission on the campaign map and read the briefing: it tells you how to recognise the target and what the bonus is. Press Deploy, watch the insertion, then Take position. Click the view to take the rifle: move the mouse to aim, right click or Space to raise the scope, and the wheel or Z and X to zoom. Press T with a figure under the reticle to read its kit and make sure it matches the clue. Hold Shift to steady your breath, then left click or F to fire. The rifle is zeroed at 100 m: farther away, aim higher (the reticle marks are 1 mil apart) and into the wind; the blue marker in the scope shows where the round will land, and you can switch it off in Settings. Lead moving targets. Hit only the identified targets. Complete the objectives before the clock runs out to unlock the next mission. On a touch screen, drag to look and use the SCOPE, FIRE, + / −, HOLD and TAG buttons.

Gameplay Tips

• •Tag before you shoot: the right target always matches every part of the clue.
• •Hold your breath just before the shot, not while you search.
• •Use the range readout: at 400 m and beyond the drop is several mils.
• •A miss near the targets raises the alarm — the second shot gets harder.
• •For moving targets, aim ahead of them by their walking speed times the flight time.
