Gunborg: Dark Matters

[h2]Verdict:[/h2] 100% worth buying. It's challenging, fast paced, the combat and platforming are fun and it's got a lovely aesthetic.

Gunborg: Dark Matters is a 2D Precision Platformer where you play as Valeria, a mercenary who landed on an enemy warship and tries to find the source of power in the ship, only to find herself involved in a big operation.

5 stars , buy it you'll be hooked. Amazing!
