My favourite part: Every time you are on the main menu they literally say GUNBRELLA with a badass funny voice. You can literally spam it just by going to options and back to the title. It's a silly little thing but it literally made me laugh because its just so goofy.
1:13 Nice to see someone draw attention to how terrible that "scrolling" selection system is. Unless you can freeze time while scrolling through the options, a game designer can either use that sort of system for items/spells/etc, or actually expect me to use items/spells/etc, but it's one or the other. I much, much MUCH prefer a system that gives each slot a dedicated button combo of some sort.
There are several missteps, but they feel lousy in the context of such a solid movement / core gameplay concept and such great music. When you do a few things too well, the things you only do slightly poorly look really shit in comparison, and that's the case in this game. I wish everything about it was excellent, but sadly only several aspects of it are. It feels like given some more funding or perhaps a more experienced dev team it could have really flowered into something incredible, but as is it's just pretty good. Definitely had a fun time playing it, just got my hopes up a bit too much.
it comes closest to that yes, i feel the same way. I played through both now and although Gunbrella is definitely a good and fun game it is no Katana Zero :P. Both very similar though.
fast paced movement-focused metroidvania. it was super fun but kinda lacking on difficulty, i only died about 2-3 times on some bosses and just plain no hit others, but the exploration is top notch! the enemies are super fun to fight against, especially the ones in the shipping facility! i lived comboing different weapons together like spamming sticky bombs and then rushing someone with saw blades at the same time and i destroy bosses! i also love the dialouge and story to this game! it was perfectly crafted to be funny, yet engaging at the same time!
I hope these developers stick around, this game might be shabby, but the studio clearly has talent. I think that the next game they release, if they release it, will be incredible
Im a fairly inexperienced gamer and am really enjoying this game. It's not super challenging. The mechanics of the umbrella are super fun. Can anyone recommend similar games?
You, personally, not being a fan of gore as a design choice does not make that choice bad. Just bad to you. Try not to criticize things that honestly don't need it.
@@deathrychetbf this is a valid question if you want play with young child, or let them have a go. The questions didn't seem like criticisms, but valid curiosity and/or criteria. We might have different sets of criterias, ones doesnt invalidate the other.
@@ForestRaptor but then again if u wanna play with a young child why would you pick a game that requires you to shoot other people. Most children have seen their own blood before so a bunch of red coloured pixels aren’t exactly gonna have much effect on them.
I don’t think this game was made for this reviewer. So much of what makes this experience great is the art style, ambiance, music, sfx, frequently lol writing and INCREDIBLY FUN controls. I’d like to enthusiastically recommend this game to you weirder gamers who like a unique experience and something more artistic. I get the impression that this reviewer didn’t appreciate the parts of this game that are truly outstanding.
That's just how the reviewer generally sounds, both in positive and negative reviews, doesn't make this less of a positive review. Definitely made me check it out.
I stopped playing assassin's Creed as a whole after Origins (unless I count replying black flag when they have it away) so I can't wait for this. The RPG gameplay change just didn't do it for me
I personally get more value out of short games. For example, I can beat Super Mario 64 in roughly 4 hours, but it’s so fun the whole way through that I replay it at least once a year.
@@resident_citizen haha I’m just so used to it, I’ve played through it probably 30 times in my lifetime. And that’s just to finish it, I don’t usually 100% complete it either.
This game fucking suck. Apart from nice art and so so controls it's story and dialogue too boring, there is no challenge. Music is pretty good but different stages dont have own themes and givberish voice acting hella annoying doesn't suit dialogue. After getting upgrades you can nobrain spam bosses and simultaneously aiming and dodging doesnt work that well on gamepad. Promising game but essentially bad experience

Ive had this game on my radar for ages, it gives me that old Flash vibe similar to Nitrome games, AKA my childhood. Thanks for the review!
Ah yea I see what you mean. Name is also fairly similar to Gunbrick, one of their titles
Nitrome...that's a name I haven't heard in a long time. I still remember the little note that plays whenever you open one of its games.
@@savioalmeida1103 right? Super nostalgic. They co-developed Shovel Knight Dig, but they've only been on mobile for a while now...
Like Ninja Zero

Shovel knight vibes, looks neat
This looks like a load of fun. Dare I say. A blast?

I hope the tedious ammo changing gets patched
For $14.99, seems like a good buy if you enjoy these kinds of games.
Reminds me a little of Katana Zero

gunbrella is more atmospheric and exploration focused i think but yea the gameplay is kinda similar
I see someoje enjoyed kingsman secret service
I forgot about this game got to get it

hes basically graves
Thanks for the review, can't wait to play it today
That constant screen freeze would drive me crazy, guess I'll pass on this one.
I hope these developers stick around, this game might be shabby, but the studio clearly has talent. I think that the next game they release, if they release it, will be incredible
Check out their previous game, Gato Roboto. It's dirt cheap during sales and very fun if a bit short.

@@Drip-Soup373bro no...that game is hard

Nice
It’s $15 on switch.
Had my eye on this one for a long time. If it’s not amazing I’m going to be very disappointed.
Have you played it yet?
Are you given the option to turn off the gore in the game?
Follow up question. Who wont purchase this game if it didnt have gore?
You, personally, not being a fan of gore as a design choice does not make that choice bad. Just bad to you. Try not to criticize things that honestly don't need it.

@@ForestRaptor It's not valid criticism is his point. OP's comment comes across as specious, bad faith criticism.

Kinda sounds like the reviewer mostly agrees with you
@@The_Jovian the reviewer is unenthusiastically saying it’s pretty good. I think it’s very cool and worth being excited about.

While this does seem fun, it seems like it's something I'd quickly forget once finished
Disappointed to hear the game is only 5 hours. I was expecting 10-12ish.
Glad to hear the game is only 5 hours. I hate padding and games that overstay their welcome.

@@JDLaney-zk4wbYou are much better than me at SM64 if you can beat it in 4 hours lol
Play it in hard mode

who do you play as? a guy or girl
Why they make the shopkeeper a 🐱 👅?!?!
Because the devs are the makers of Gato Roboto, so it's logical that they'd put cats in this game too.
@@zennvirus7980 who was licking the 🐱 in that one? 😂
Okay, the dead wife trope is more than a bit cringe ngl.
