Son of a Gun

Basically a nostalgia bait that's trying to recreate a flash game. There are quite a few of these topdown shooters here on steam and this is probably the weakest one out of the bunch I ever had the pleasure of playing. It has an uninspiring level design and progression system.

Very positive? I think not, it's pretty mid at best. 5/10

Tem jogos e jogos com visão superior. Já joguei muitos e alguns bem mais simples, mas nunca tinha visto um que a gente tranca em tudo. Esse fica difícil de saber se uma pedrinha ou uma florzinha nos tranca. E um dos inimigos é uma baratinha laranja que para na nossa frente para os outros nos matar. A limitação dos inimigos maiores serem esponja de balas é outra coisa que incomoda. Alguns bixos a gente até ve estratégia para matar, mas outros é muito sem sentido. Usei muito a técnica milenar do Saiko ( largava correndo e fazendo drift no meio dos inimigos) E ai chegando no ponto de extração tentava levantar algumas moedas. O jogo exige muito grind, pois os upgrades que fiz mal deu para sentir na experiência. Matei dois boss um sofre com problema de paredes, chão e o chefe te dar dano e não conseguirmos distinguir isso e o outro nos atira pedras, que se desviamos ficamos presos em pequenas fissuras. Comprei pelo Eneba, menos de R$5,00, como ele não tem cartinhas eu estava jogando por curtir esse estilo de game. Suas lentidão, problemas e falta de uma visão mais cara, o fazem não recomenda-lo.

我都不知道这坨狗屎怎么特别好评，上了大当！！玩到一半以为我有问题，决定通关后再做评价，迎来的是折磨 垃圾一样的UI，这游戏的名字蹭了孤胆枪手，对比一下难以想象这是2024年的游戏。 枪的设计也是个谜，枪分为白板、蓝板、紫板，紫板枪大多数在隐藏点，隐藏点怎么找呢?硬怼墙，能怼进去就是隐藏点。 怪的种类匮乏，有些关卡喜欢开局怼脸刷，刷怪虚空刷。数下来不到十种怪物+七关boss，boss战设计的极其垃圾。 配音是没有的，中配在战斗中还有小问题（感觉像机翻... ），游戏npc也是没有的，只有背景故事，故事也巨烂。 地图巨烂，有多烂，一个套皮套了七关，还有毫无意义的黑夜关卡，陷阱的作用就是给你指路还有恶心你。 成就杀1万个，你通关一遍大概4k多个怪，通关三遍也不会跳出，2024年就有玩家在讨论组反应了，制作组应该是死了。这个游戏也不值得二周目，给你6个人物，单纯就长得不一样，何必设计这么多呢?有用吗? 总结:烂完了

It is fun. New mechanics/monsters/environments are introduced from time to time, so I did not get bored one minute (after 3 hours). Music is good, sounds could be a bit more immersive. Also: dev, please add controller vibration (matching with the gun type if possible). This would improve immersion a lot and make shooting the slimy things even more exciting! <3 [Edit]: I completed a second run. I still had fun. It also triggered this old memory of playing Alien Breed on Amiga, way way back... Not so many top-down shooters manage to give you this feeling. For example each enemy does make a sound that you can hear a moment before seeing it. Also, the night levels with the lamp torch attached to your gun are quite fun! Same idea... "What am I getting myself into if I walk into this cave?..."

Negatives: - Keys not re-bindable. Positives: - The default keys are fine. - Lots of blood & gore makes for satisfying monster splatting. - Shooting things is fun. - Affordable. - Easy to pick up & play. - You won't need to buy a new PC to play this. - No microtransactions. - Attractive female characters. - No gay ♥♥♥♥ or communism.

Looks and plays like a bad flash game

Just got to the 3rd planet. At this point I didn't get bored even once: diversity of enemies and locations. Can't say the locations are challenging, although I died many times. The game is a solid twin-stick shooter, not perfect, just solid. And it works great on Steam Deck.

picking up different guns with various stats to consider was interesting but that was about it. the movement and aiming have some kind of kinetic physics delay so rather than snappy feeling action you get kind of a sluggish dragging sensation the entire time. then theres the sin of the options menu. there is no resolution selection, just the window scaling to your current monitor resolution. you can alt enter to enable a windowed mode but no option for that in the game. you can turn shadows on or off, turn the music or sound up or down and select your language. I would say that's all you need but you can't change your controls at all which seems problematic and seemingly beyond the developer to implement. the inclusion of a toggle for shadows feels bizarre as like a performance option, it might be referring to the heavy fog of war as featured in their other game Mooch but I never disabled it so who knows. death only comes closer and I suggest you play the hundreds of free games in this genre before attempting to play this one for 10 dollars. I don't even think I would put a dollar towards it, theres nothing to really write home about, no leaderboards despite there being plenty of stats upon level completion. your character has a dialogue bubble that appears when they say stuff but also when you try to pickup health when you are already full it uses the same dialogue bubble but maxes it out and obscures a quarter of the screen to display 2 small words Health Full or something like that. is my character saying Health Full? or you just wanted to cram gameplay relevant information into this area you've deemed appropriate for all text but also displayed as something the character is saying. the game is 2.49 gb installed when it feels like it should be no more than 800mb and plenty of games do farrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr more at well under 500mb let alone a few hundred. I would say son of a gun packs little to no punch for its weight
