The action of this game centers on World War II for its setting, however this time around our protagonist is sent to Africa, where in 1942 Germans are developing a new weapon able to crush the Allied Forces. Among all the people who can stop the Nazis from finishing their deadly weapon is Karl Fishbourne – a sniper at the United States Armed Forces’ service.

The gameplay mechanics in Sniper Elite III: Ultimate Edition do not differ so much from the predecessors’ and features mainly assassinations of targets like high-profile enemy officers. When comparing Sniper Elite III to the previous installments of this series one can notice significantly larger maps with open structures, giving players more freedom in choosing the measures to undertake and execution methods best fitting the task at hand. A key gameplay element is the well-developed sniper mechanics. On higher difficulty levels, the bullet trajectory is influenced by such factors as wind velocity, wind direction and even gravity. The game also features a Sniper Elite series trademark: very impressive X-Ray camera, showing to the damage done by the player’s bullets in the smallest detail.
