Gunfire Reborn

Gunfire Reborn offers a solid mix of roguelite progression, creative weapons, and fun hero abilities, making it a good pick for fans of loot-focused first-person shooters.

Gunfire Reborn does not have a single innovative element in its retention loop, and I say this seriously. The campaign's pace, level structure, division into closed zones filled with enemies, the constant search for more powerful weapons, the setback to the beginning when we lose, and even the inclusion of a skill tree – this is the roguelike experience as stated in the instruction manual.

Gunfire Reborn is a fun game that suffers from some pretty substantial problems. Online is simply a mess; regardless of where the fault lies, it results in a negative experience for all. Add in a lack of updates and questionable history on Xbox, and it’s a hard sell for Gunfire Reborn. Sure, it has good gunplay, charming weapons, and a lot of build potential; unfortunately, these issues exist. Perhaps things will improve now that more resources can be poured into the console side of things, but for now, I would stick to PC or Xbox via Game Pass.

I had fun playing Gunfire Reborn but after a few runs I started to feel that the game is much more fun with friends, since each of us tackling higher difficulties together as a different character gave the game more variety and challenge.

Gunfire Reborn is one of those games I’d now recommend immediately if you’re looking for a co-op title to play with your friends. Its deep levelling and skill tree system with several options of difficulty keeps me returning for more. Replayability and longevity is a key point here and I’m talking about a potential of hundreds of hours. If you can grin and bear the occasional matchmaking issues and the odd disconnect then it’s an absolute blast almost all of the time.

The overall impression of Gunfire Reborn is very positive. The developers have really gone all out here, giving you a unique opportunity to build a hero with various combinations of abilities and weapons. All you have to do is find the one that suits you best and head into the arena. The game can sometimes be very frustrating if luck doesn’t favor the right choice of abilities and weapons. This can lead to your early demise and problems with leveling up your overall level, resulting in a more difficult game.

Gunfire Reborn is a well-formed and illustrated multiplayer game with the ability to play it solo. However, you have to really like repetitive gameplay or roguelites; otherwise, you'll do your head in after the eleventh attempt on the first stage.

Gunfire Reborn comes to our consoles to bring us a first-person shooter with procedural dungeons. Every time you die, you'll be faced with new maps and different builds, making each game different from the last. In addition, it also has a cooperative mode that increases the fun to incredible levels.

A roguelite FPS, Gunfire Reborn takes good and bad from both genres, making for a somewhat frustrating and inconsistent, though intermittently fun experience.
