AR Blaster is an augmented reality action game that transports a UFO invasion into the player's real world. Using the device's camera, players must scan their surroundings to find and shoot down alien invaders before they can land. The game features high-stakes arcade gameplay where letting a single UFO reach the ground results in an immediate defeat. It's a test of reflexes and spatial awareness designed to provide an immersive sci-fi combat experience in any environment.

Our Expert Score

65/100

AR Blaster is a straightforward and energetic arcade shooter that brings a UFO invasion right into your living room. While it doesn't have the complexity of larger AR titles, it captures that classic 'defend the base' feeling perfectly. The tension comes from the 'one-miss' rule—if even a single UFO lands, it's game over, which forces you to be constantly vigilant and precise with your taps.

The game works best when you have a bit of room to scan your environment, as the UFOs can come from various angles. It's a great example of pick-up-and-play AR; there's no complicated setup, just immediate action. While it could benefit from more power-ups or enemy variety, as a pure reflex-based shooter, it’s a fun way to use your phone's camera for a quick blast of sci-fi action.

No, it uses your iPhone's standard camera and AR capabilities, though it was also designed to be compatible with AR Blaster peripheral mounts.

Junk

Seeing all the one star reviews didn’t deter me, figured I’d be able to get it to work. Downloaded app, went to put batteries in, couldn’t get it open, finally went to the garage and destroyed the screw to open it. Taped the battery door shut, couldn’t get it to pair. No way to access anything in the app. From top to bottom, this product and app is junk.

No syncing

Would be nice if the app would sync with the sharper image laser blaster my kids got for Christmas to play games!! Can play game on phone tapping on images but I paid for the app to use the blaster..and the only game that comes up is an alien game—says there should be 21 games to play!!! What a let down!!

Doesn’t even connect to iPhone

The Bluetooth never connects and this is a waste of even $.99 what’s the point of buying the gun for my kid for Christmas when it doesn’t even work.

Don’t buy. Won’t work. Wow.

iPhone running IOS 11 and this still doesn’t work. Front screen works with logo but it never advances past “Get Ready.” Please remove this from the App Store.

This app is supposed to work with the sharper image AR device. But it doesn’t sync at all. The game itself is boring and there is no variety in it. I want my money back.
