GUNCHO

What is there to say about Guncho? Well, a lot actually. There is one review listed somewhere below that says this is a game with one level spread over seven stages. I suppose this is true if you have no capacity for memory (which, ouch, that's sounds like some Memento level life difficulty). The environment DOES stay the same (the wild west for a game set in the wild west, crazy huh?) the gameplay map is always generated randomly in both size, shape, and the amount of obstacles strewn about. Enemy variety is high after the recent update and I feel like the game is in a good space right now. The one thing I really love about this game is that things can get nutty very quickly. One turn you believe you're a cowboy acting as a surgeon taking on enemies with precision while the next turn you cause a chain reaction from a powder keg to push an enemy across the map that throws a molotov that pushes you into the path of a lasso next to a bomber that decides that he's going to bury himself, you, and your money right then and there. It's almost comical at times and reminded me of the silliest deaths in Spelunky 2 but thrown onto a chess board. Does it feel unfair sometimes? Sure. Is it still fun as all hell with an awesome spaghetti western inspired soundtrack going on? 1000% yes. I'll call back to that same bad review that said they got an hour out of this game for $5 and say that's a damn good deal for a bite of tactical game.
