Our take on Gunheart
A defining combat mechanic is the multi-tool: it can pick up physical objects, turning items such as explosive barrels into improvised weapons.
What is Gunheart?
Gunheart is an online co-op RPG shooter about robotic bounty hunters earning money on Planet Fortune.
Its movement options include strafing, teleporting, and boost jumping across large battlefields. The campaign has 9 missions, alongside 11 challenge missions, elite mode, and weekly missions. Players can also fight in free-for-all or team-based PvP matches. Weapons can be leveled up to gain perks and modification slots; the game lists 10 weapons and more than 40 weapon modifications. The multi-tool lets players pick up physical objects, including explosive barrels and creatures, and use them in combat. Co-op missions support drop-in and drop-out play, or can be played solo. The game also offers local play and cross-play among desktop and VR players.
