✦ AI summary
Players appreciate Gearshifters' stylish arcade gameplay, satisfying destruction mechanics, and solid soundtrack, but consistently criticize its brief campaign, lack of replay value, and high price point relative to content. The game is fun for a few hours but feels better suited to a $5-10 price tag rather than the current $25, with many wishing for additional features like endless modes, level-select respawning, and more varied progression options to extend playtime.
i think this has a lot of potential. its got some cool ideas, and some redundancies. its fun for an afternoon like absolum... a sequel would be welcomed.. but i dont see em selling too many copies at $25... i honestly bought a game key for $4 @ kinguin... and stomped the game out in one day.... i woulda been pissed and wrote a terrible review if i didnt go this route. thats how i still get to have a game with low content and low replay with out hating myself for buying another quick game... this is a $5-$10 game maximum... i had fun with it, 7.5/10 room for improvement1 found this helpful
I like it, reminds me of spy hunter. I would have like to have seen more work on this. Why cant we drive in the back of a truck and pick our power ups? That is one of the reasons spy hunter Is so great, seems like almost everything else is there. The bad news is to start over on death after completing levels, this was good in the 90's on a Nintendo cartridge and lack of saved game space. I cant say it has a place now, Will update soon!
Gearshifters, developed by Red Phantom Games and published by Numskull Games, is a stylish top-down vehicular action title that blends arcade shooting, rogue-lite progression, and high-speed driving into a single, destructive package. Set in a lawless future where Europe has fallen under the control of violent gangs and militarized factions, the game casts you as a lone courier tasked with crossing hostile territories to deliver critical packages. This seemingly simple premise becomes a vehicle—literally and figuratively—for a gameplay experience built around drifting through gunfire, smashing enemy vehicles, and pushing your reflexes through escalating waves of chaos. From the outset, Gearshifters makes it clear that its heart lies in movement, speed, and explosions, aiming to recreate the thrill of arcade racing games while layering on shoot-’em-up intensity. At its core, Gearshifters is driven by its combat mechanics, and this is where the game demonstrates its strongest personality. Your car handles with a mix of weight and agility that feels satisfyingly physical: drifting across lanes, weaving between bullets, and swinging the tail around corners creates a sense of momentum …
Gearshifters is an arcade style shoot em up game where you play as a car who has to battle against a series of enemies in order to gain money in order to upgrade your car by buying new weapons and armour. Graphics- Arcade like Soundtrack- Alright Audience- Teenagers Difficulty- Some bosses can be difficult Story- Not really a story Game time- Not too long Price- Its expensive for what you get 6/10
Fun yet short game. The story was quite short and didn't quite understand it. Only collect some shards and then something gets blown up? Soundtrack was masterpiece quality. Very good and relaxing. And overall the game is pretty interesting. Also have to get to used to the view and handling + the upgrading system has a lot of upgrades but nothing special. A endless mode or different car bodies for your car would be nice. A leaderboard for the endless mode with enemies and traffic would be a good addition.
Pretty cool and addictive.
