Gunslugs 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.

Gunslugs 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.

Gunslugs 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.
