GUNARMS is a free doujin game brought to you by Straβe Neun team. Who also had a doujin game " Gigantic Gears" which just sucked ALOT. It had N64ish graphics, poor angle , the game screen was too zoomed (in where you could never tell what the hell was going on above you). It also had poor gunfire animation and All around sucked. Hell, it even made Neon Genesis Evangelion 64 look good. There was also little too no in-game sound. Even though the screens looked promising on the site the real game wasn't.
But it all changed when GUN ARMS was put up for download. Superb graphics, Intelligent AI,No huge zoom-in. GA basically took all the elements of Gigantic gears and expanded greatly on it.The good points of this game is well its free! This type of quality game would usually have some price tag too it. The visuals are good for a 6th gen type game. The whole dieing animation adds to it too. This game is all has a variety of weapons, both fire-arms and also a "punch" arm that can be upgraded to driller ( which can smash obstacles or other mechs). Sound is decent too.
The bad points are the controllers need some time too get used too, but not too long. The mecha is dividend to two half, one for the firearms the other for the "punch" arm. The shooting is also one of its problems. Some of the weapons that are "useful" don't actually work too well. Like the following missiles, half the time they will hit the ground and not the enemy. Also this game can get frustrating, most of the time there will be at least 5 or 6 enemy's at once. And one of these six will be a flying mecha who goes higher as you try jumping to use your Punch arm. Then all the others use following bullets and kill you... If you don't suck at any bullet hell type games then this will be a breeze for you.
