Guntastic

Some really are exclusively their local/online arena experiences like Retimed, Crashnauts, CHOP, Hookbots, Hot Shot Burn, etc. Many of these are pitched at price points of £10 and above. You could say it’s a genre-wide value proposition quandary. One you’ll have to subjectively confront as a consumer. Developers still need to get sufficiently compensated. Is this inherently more limited genre worth investing in? Some make it work more than others. [b]Guntastic makes me think of how that Halo “30 seconds of fun” quote by Jaime Griesemer has been taken out of context for almost two decades.[/b] What he meant was that a core “30 seconds of fun” played out against a background of as much variation in environments, weapons, vehicles, enemies, and scenarios, as you can pack in, was enough for a full game. No 30 seconds are exactly the same. 30 se…

Bought this game on a whim with a buddy over. We had a ton of fun with this game, and loved the hilarity of the characters. The game itself brought us back to a time in college when we used to have a few cocktails the morning after a slammer and run tournaments. Pure nostalgia. Fantastic game, and a ton of fun.

A fantastic retro multiplayer brawler game where every single mistake can lead to you losing a round. It's indeed easy to get into, but like many other brawler games, you need to practice to get skilled and be good at it. The game has beautiful pixel art visuals and there are quite a few levels to choose from. Sometimes it's hard for me to detect where my character is at the beginning of the round, maybe some kind of a visual cute might help but other than this I am having fun playing the game. You can also play vs AI if you like to practice in the game's rules, so check it out. Sharing some of the gameplay and my first impressions here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t6qd0F2yMLo

Guntastic is a fast, exciting and fun party game. It's infuriating die for one of the hidden traps and you really enjoy blow the bones of your enemies up! AI is good and the game is still more fun if you play it with friends. As designer I must say that pixel art, music and atmosphere in general behind this work are superlative: it matches the old fashion games graphic with a contemporary touch which give to Guntastic a quite unique personality. Brilliant!

You have definitely seen this premise done 1000 times before. Loads of first time devs will tackle a similar concept. But this one honestly stood out from the pack!! We played as a 4 player group, and had a blast with it. While it's fun to play on PC as-is, I would buy it for the switch in a heartbeat. This is exactly what couch multiplayer is supposed to look like! I haven't tested out any non-multiplayer content. Not sure if there is any? But this game supports online play! So you don't actually need local people to play with, which is a huge bonus for a game like this.

Great couch game with easy to learn hard to master mechanics
