Our take on Gunhouse
Its defining structure is the combination of puzzle matching and active tower defense: large combos directly determine the gunfire and special attacks used to protect the orphans.
What is Gunhouse?
Gunhouse combines puzzle play with active tower defense.
Players build large combos to fire guns, bullets, and special attacks at alien invaders while protecting orphans from being consumed. The game includes upgradeable weapons, giant bosses, a strange narrative, and hardcore mode. Its levels are described as infinite, allowing continued play without a stated endpoint. The presentation uses a distinctive visual style, while the story follows a weird-fiction approach. Each defensive encounter links puzzle combinations to the attacks launched against incoming enemies.
