Is Desert Gunner worth it for you?
We tell you who should skip it, too.
Play it if you…
Good fit- Arcade-action players who want to fight from mounted vehicle weapons rather than control a foot soldier
- Players who enjoy switching between armored vehicles and their different weapons
- Players looking for a fixed set of 20 combat levels rather than a climbing or exploration-focused game
Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking varied activities beyond continuous turret-based combat may find the gameplay narrow.
- Players who want ammunition scarcity as a tactical constraint may find unlimited firepower reduces that kind of resource management.
- Players looking for a climbing and exploration experience may prefer Jusant.
- Players seeking multiplayer shooting action may prefer Abyssus.
Our take on Desert Gunner
Unlimited ammunition keeps attention on aiming and survival rather than managing supplies. That choice removes ammunition scarcity as a resource-management constraint, while the vehicles themselves remain vulnerable to attack.
What is Desert Gunner?
Play as a designated gunner on patrol, drawing enemy fire while attacking armed forces and threats such as tanks, RPG troops, roadside explosives, and bomb-laden civilian vehicles.
The arcade-style action lets players switch between armored vehicles and their mounted weapons, with a 360-degree view of combat. Vehicles include armored Humvees, an M1A2 Abrams, an M2 Bradley, AAVs, and a Hummer Avenger. Weapons include machine guns, a grenade launcher, and missiles. The game has 20 levels, score and weapons charts, and cheat-code keys. Ammunition is unlimited, but vehicles and their weapons can still be damaged by enemy attacks.
