How it feels

A methodical stealth shooter where careful sniping and sabotage create a quiet, tense rhythm punctuated by bursts of brutal combat.

What players say

Players are split on NIRO. Some praise its old-school stealth action and cultural authenticity as a Sri Lankan indie title, calling it challenging and reminiscent of older games like IGI. Others call it unplayable due to clunky controls, outdated graphics, frustrating difficulty, and the lack of promised sniper-focused gameplay.
