While I do recommend this game, there are issues I have with it. It is fun to go around and shoot enemies with the titular Gunbrella, the movement is pretty good in this game and it has some good pixel art. But I kinda just wish there was more to this game, some things would’ve benefited from more story focus, I find early bosses are a slog to fight (not hard, just take a while), and the gameplay got to its best when I was one shotting enemies. This felt closer to the trailer, I honestly wish this game was closer to Katana Zero in being a “one shot guys, reflect bullets, but be careful you die fast” type game But it did grow on me, and it had a good curve in gameplay expectations, tho I will say, keep the gem, trust me on that

Well, yet another awesome gem from doinksoft + Devolver Digital combo. Gunbrella is a simple and straightforward action platformer game that wins you over with great gameplay mechanics (GUNBRELLA™ chik-chik), fabulous pixel art, a stylish noir soundtrack, and an intriguing story to go through (Cosmic Horror + Steampunk? Am I in heaven?) with several choices that affect the story in interesting ways. I also love how I never felt lost in this game, the level design and quests are supreme. It's not a perfect game, by any means, but I liked it very much. :>

I'm giving this a "recommended" review because I think the product has value to a specific audience; I just don't think it hit for me but I feel like this is *definitely* someone's niche dream game. Artistically, the game really feels like it was originally a Game Boy or Game Boy Color game that someone went back and added a *ton* of detail to...but I could also see someone doing a "demake" of this for fun and it still being totally playable on old hardware. Sound effects were all passable, no voice work to speak of. Music ran from catchy background to so generic it might have been white noise. Level design is super Game Boy-esque; every level is basically a series of short "rooms" that you get through to get to the next one. The titular Gunbrella allows you to bypass most of the major hazards pretty easily and the platforming never hits the level of an even good platformer, but it's passable. Combat feels very one dimensional, if very fast; the gunbrella gives you a surprising amount of mobility and defense in fights and since even the most harried fights are rarely more than two one one, it never really "hits" - you're never fighting hard enough to feel like a bad ass, but you're also forced to be at least somewhat mobile or the bad guys end up chunking you. This is somewhat punctuated by long stretches of "this is a game I could give to a young nephew and not have to worry about the difficulty level" that suddenly become "oh the boss difficulty level spikes significantly; gimme that controller, Timmy." You never "get good" at the game, but you're forced to "be good" for very brief stretches before settling in for more long stretches of easy. Storywise, this wants to feel like Sanabi or John Wick or any other "hero has their loved one murdered and is out for blood" plot, but it never really hits because you never really feel any way about Murray (the hero) because he doesn't talk. There's no exposition, all of the story beats are assumptive...even the eldritch horror stuff doesn't ever really go anywhere except as minor occasional set dressing. The game doesn't even really know what it wants to be tonally - there's some really dark stuff in here about sacrificing children so rich people can be immortal, but that's off set by weird zany characters straight out of a GBA game or scenes where like you accompany a family of hikers up a mountain...and then a scene later, you encounter the kid from the family and he's like "♥♥♥♥ them, this dude using me for child labor is my real fam!" There's tons of profanity and weirdly animated blood...but also like, animated bees are a major enemy in the game that are annoying. Like, what? I think this one has a really specific audience, which is someone who is seeking what feels like an authentically designed old school Game Boy game with a modern color palate. It's really short (if you soldiered through it, you can clear it in an afternoon) so it might also be for people who just want a fun old school romp - but given the number of exceptional platformers that have come out in the last several years, it is kind of difficult to recommend this one without going through all the weird foibles AND a list of other games that are just better. Maybe you'll play it and love it and find it charming. I found myself forcing myself to get to the end. Only recommended with caveats; probably a pass for most.

This is a great little game. Kind of partly a 2d platformer, it's not really a metroidvania. But has some really fun movement and solid mechanics for doing combat or battles with enemies. Not super difficult on the default difficulty, honestly I think the boss that gave me the most difficulty was the 1st one when you're still building the muscle memory of what buttons to press and how to move around fluidly with the gunbrella and getting used to all of that still. Fun dialogue and a nice solid short (under 15 hours) compact game. It does have a little bit of replayability if you're wanting to get all of the achievements as there are a couple choices in the game that close off other paths. Highly recommended.

A short game and not terribly mechanically intensive but I found myself invested in the characters and story. A fun little romp that doesn't overstay it's welcome
