Our take on Gatling Gears

The likely sticking point is the combat loop: players who want a change of pace from shooting may hit a wall when the campaign keeps centering on enemy waves, boss fights, and destructible scenery.

What is Gatling Gears?

Play as Max Brawley, a retired Gatling Gear pilot fighting an empire that is exploiting natural resources.

Progress through a campaign across six environments, battling enemy groups and destroying buildings and trees along the way. The campaign can be played with a friend locally or online. Six boss battles pit the player against much larger enemies. Survival Mode offers successive waves of enemies, with players competing to last the longest. Twin-stick controls handle movement and shooting; the game also includes more complex mechanics for players to refine their play over repeated runs.
