Why play it

Guns N 'Runs is a stylish platform, action and shooting game, featuring super specials and fast-paced Dash mechanics. Made for one player, with more than 200 challenges, 23 bosses, individual story for each character and totally immersive soundtrack.

Story and worldbuilding

In Guns N’ Runs, you take control of 8 skillful members of the Conspiracy Squad, in a stylish platform game, action and shooter, totally drawn by hand in pixel art, where time is the primordial factor at the battle against a prodigy technopath and his army of robots. Help our protagonists in the invasion of a bunker in the middle of the Atacama desert, in a capture and rescue mission full of challenges and dangers. Made for one player, with over 200 challenges, 23 bosses and focused on the individual narrative of each of the squad members. The controls are simple and accessible - you can jump, shoot, dash and use the special - but make no mistake! The game possesses layers of difficulty that require a greater depth of skills to advance to the next levels. In this game, you will learn a new lesson with each death. Use a variety of weapons, protect yourself with a shield, recover your dash to utilize it in sequence, destroy some enemies with a strengthened dash (if you found) and enjoy every second of the game with an original soundtrack that will leave you excited with each new stage. But never forget the time, with each new stage, you will have a limited time to advance. So, prepare yourself to die several times and overcome your limits.

Hey Poor PlayerJames Davies · 10 Apr, 2023

In games of Guns N’ Runs’ ilk, it’s ok to fight against the odds. But the major difference that separates this game from similar titles is that time and time again, Guns N’ Runs proves itself able to entertain for a few minutes, before devolving into a gnawingly rote annoyance that constantly battles against players with its terrible tutorials, minimal health bar, lack of power-ups, dearth of weaponry, paint-by-numbers design and a chugging framerate. There is clearly a love for the retro classics, which the presentation and soundtrack evoke lovingly, but the frustrations inherent in the gameplay are a bit too much to ignore. Give Guns N’ Runs a try and you may like it for a spell; just be warned that you will likely grow bored of it sooner rather than later.

Guns N' Runs reminded me why I love challenging old-school action games as much as I do so if you enjoy the genre then I recommend that you play this sucker. Its performance issues are kind of a bummer, though, so be wary about that before diving in.
