Gun Wings, developed by Mercury Stone, Angels Blue Digital Entertainment, and DigitalEZ, and published by DigitalEZ, is a vertical scrolling shoot ’em up that successfully combines nostalgic arcade-style gameplay with modern touches to create an engaging and challenging experience. The game sets itself in a futuristic world where humanity faces an impending meteorite threat, and players take control of three cybernetically enhanced young women tasked with saving Earth from destruction. This premise provides a straightforward but compelling backdrop that drives the action forward and immerses players in a high-stakes battle across visually rich environments. The core gameplay of Gun Wings revolves around navigating dense waves of enemies and intricate bullet patterns, a hallmark of the shoot ’em up genre. Players select from three distinct protagonists, each equipped with unique weapons and abilities that cater to different playstyles. The controls are tight and responsive, allowing for precise maneuvers essential to dodging the relentless barrage of enemy fire. Throughout six stages, players encounter increasingly complex enemy formations and formidable bosses, requiring not only quick reflexes but also strategic use of each character’s skills. This blend of accessibility and depth makes Gun Wings appealing both to veteran shmup players and those new to the genre looking for a satisfying challenge. Visually, Gun Wings strikes a balance between vibrant, colorful aesthetics and a futuristic setting that feels alive and dynamic. The character designs are detailed and anime-inspired, contributing to the game’s distinctive personality, while the backgrounds and enemy sprites feature enough variety to keep the visual experience fresh. The bullet patterns are particularly well-designed, combining beauty with function — the intricate arrangements of projectiles form mesmerizing patterns that are both obstacles and spectacles. Although the game doesn’t boast cutting-edge graphics, its art style suits the gameplay perfectly, enhancing the overall atmosphere without overwhelming the player. The soundtrack and audio design further amplify the game’s intensity and immersive quality. Gun Wings features energetic, upbeat tracks that match the pace of the action, providing a pulse-pounding soundtrack that pushes players to stay engaged through each stage. The sound effects for weapons, explosions, and power-ups are crisp and satisfying, adding tactile feedback to every encounter. While some may find the music loops somewhat repetitive over extended play, the compositions are generally effective at maintaining the game’s momentum and excitement. From a technical standpoint, Gun Wings performs well across a range of systems, including those with modest hardware, thanks to its optimized design. The game offers support for both keyboard and controller inputs, catering to player preferences and enhancing accessibility. Additional features such as Steam achievements, cloud saves, and leaderboards contribute to the replay value, encouraging players to refine their skills and compete for high scores. These elements, while standard, are thoughtfully implemented and help sustain player interest beyond the initial playthrough. Though Gun Wings does not reinvent the shoot ’em up wheel, it delivers a polished, enjoyable experience that pays homage to classic arcade shooters while incorporating modern sensibilities. Its combination of challenging gameplay, attractive visuals, and an engaging soundtrack make it a solid choice for fans of the genre or anyone seeking an adrenaline-fueled, skill-based action game. Whether you’re a seasoned shmup enthusiast or a newcomer eager to dive into fast-paced aerial combat, Gun Wings offers a compelling journey filled with excitement and nostalgic charm. Rating: 8/10

A surprisingly beautiful game when you actually play it. The game's title bar actually does the game a disservice with it's garish over-saturated tri-colour characters. The moment you boot up the game you are met with a beautiful rust-punk aesthetic with a very well coordinated colour palate. Game is fun too. It uses the same hold & release system that Vukaiser uses, but with 2 levels to charge up, instead of just one. There's also a separate attack that charges very slowly by killing enemies that you lose when you lose a life which helps add tension. I still think it would be better if you didn't have to hold the button down to attack, but that can probably be fixed with something like anitmicrox.
