Gunslugs packs a real punch by giving you plenty of bang for your buck. This side-scrolling shooter may not be especially original, but its challenging gameplay, catchy audio, and old-fashioned visuals make it more than worth your time. The package may not be brimming with replay value, but if you’re looking for something explosive to fill the odd few minutes, then you should go in guns blazing with this affordable, action-packed indie offering.
Joey Thurmond · Mar 01, 2014 Reviewed on VitaRead full reviewGunslugs is a great tribute to the old school, while still maintaining a fresh outlook on the genre. While its random level generation isn't perfect, the control and chaos at play here is a fun distraction for an afternoon. You'll shoot a lot, you'll die a lot, and you'll always be moving right, but you'll always be having fun too.
Ian Bonds · Feb 27, 2014 Reviewed on VitaRead full reviewGunslugs is not for the weak of heart. Its fast, chaotic action is as difficult and brutal as they come. It’s an 8-bit blast to the past with a retro look and sound that is designed to please those gamers in search of a true challenge.
Brad Gruetzmacher · Feb 18, 2014 Reviewed on VitaRead full reviewGunslugs is very good. Controls are excellent, graphics are cute, and the action is fun. Beating a hard level feels rewarding. Levels are randomly generated and tend to have decent design, but sometimes an awkward set-up ruins the flow and forces a restart. Fans of run and gun or retro games will not be disappointed with what Gunslugs offers.
Russell Ritchey · Feb 17, 2014 Reviewed on VitaRead full reviewGunslugs is a fast-paced, retro-inspired, run-and-gun shooter that brings some of mobile gaming's best to PlayStation Vita.
Anthony Chambers · Feb 17, 2014 Reviewed on VitaRead full reviewStill, it just means that much like the games of old that inspired it, Gunslugs can be unforgiving yet so satisfied when it’s conquered – and the procedurally-generated levels means that players don’t always know what to expect. Fans of the run ’n gun genre need to check this out.
Carter Dotson · Feb 01, 2013 Reviewed on AndThe difficulty may be too much for some, but it may not enough for others. There’s so much praise I want to ramble on about, but I’ll leave it at this: Gunslugs is a game you must get your hands on. I haven’t beat it yet, but I assure you I’ll keep at it until I do.
Derek C. Tillotson · Jan 23, 2013 Reviewed onRead full reviewOtherwise, Gunslugs is a fun throwback that joins the already impressive Orangepixel lineup. Regardless of which iOS or Android-powered device you own, there's quite a bit to love about this twitchy blast-a-thon.

Carter Dotson · Jan 21, 2013 Reviewed on iOSRead full reviewThe pricepoint may not be as generous as the iOS and Android original, yet Gunslugs still feels like a generous package. It may sound short on paper, yet in practice it can be murderously difficult, and isn’t something you will beat with ease. The rogeulike nature of the levels keeps things fresh, unpredictable and chaotic – but in a good way. There are some fun in-game achievements to unlock, and of course Trophies. Most importantly of all, it looks, sounds and handles brilliantly on the Vita.
