Gun Crazy Reviews

Some reviews say this is a difficult game, but my first run using one credit was completed within twenty five minutes. My second play through I only lost one life. It was only longer because I stopped to eat lunch in the middle of it. The first level has three bosses, but each successive stage only features one. Each level feels less and less creative than the last. Seems like the developer had loftier plans for this one and just never finished it. I don't mind dropping a dollar on a game that feels like a prototype, and I definitely enjoyed my time playing Gun Crazy. Such a shame that someone would lay the groundwork for a great game only to drop something below average.

So Gun Crazy is just fine short, very short run n' gun game that is really no note worthy. The music is fine, viusals are annoying and their only purpose is to mess you up by covering your screen. Level design is simple, there are two levels where you go right to kill a boss and two where you stand in place and shot everything around you. Half of the bosses are ok. This game is just bland, you could be playing anything else and having just as much fun and more.

Another retro style run and gun game that I thought was great fun, really well done and very playable. If this was an Amiga game back in the day, it would probably have been my favourite. Got to have the time for a run through though. No save or resume in this?

It's okay. It has a Megaman and Contra vibe to it and it is incredibly short! The controls are fine and the gameplay is fluid while the animations and sprites are pretty cool but again waaay too short!

It's good, not great, but good. There are a lot of rough edges, but it's serviceable. If you're into Gunstar Heroes, this scratches a similar, though single player, itch. I got it on discount, and I have no regrets. It won't blow you away, but it's a decent game to slam through in a lunch break.

Gun Crazy is a good choice for those who like challenges, achievements, and short gameplays coupled with a high replay factor. For those who expect a longer game or a story to follow, you won't find it here. The game is very short and with few challenges, if you are an experienced achievements hunter in this style of game, you will do everything in a short time. If that's not your style of play, you won't find much that you like here (apart from the nice pixel art). Game for specific players, but competent in everything it proposes.

Easy to pick up but pretty challenging, SUPER fun, and a short arcade campaign?! Am I in Heaven?! The presentation is flashy, vibrant, and downright awesome. Protag's super cute, and robot/vehicle designs are super cool. Ritual Games gives me hope that maybe there is hope for us indie-loving arcade-obsessed players after all, haha. (It's really affordable too.) The only thing I can honestly recommend for potential future entries/spiritual successors (or DLC to this entry) is just adding more player skins/customizable protag outfit colors via palette swaps and the ability to make the resolution windowed. (Hell, if we wanna shoot for the stars: online co-op? That's a reach but anything is possible if you believe!) Other than that, dude: this game freakin' rocks. Get it if you like retro arcade stuff, promise you'll have a fun time.

[h1] Gameplay [/h1] [b] Gun Crazy [/b] is a Run and Gun shoot 'em up game with Bullet Hell elements [h1] The Good [/h1] [list] [*] Controls like a charm [*] Simple and intuitive mechanics [*] Great pixel art [*] Great soundtrack [*] Price [/list] [h1] Gripes [/h1] [list] [*] [b] Cannot rebind keys! [/b] I want the dash to be on one of the shoulder buttons. I find it hard to use the B button on the controller to dash while holing down the X button to shoot and using A to jump [*] Cannot shoot directly downwards while jumping [*] No variety in bullet shapes fired at you [*] The screen only scrolls forward when moving, you cannot track back (though I think this is by design and nothing of importance is missed) [*] Sometimes the bullets blend too well with the background and it becomes harder to see and avoid them [/list]

Gun Crazy isn't a bad game but a few design decisions are holding this back. 1) the screen is puny and it upscaled like crap so ofc there's no window mode in the (lack) of options. 2) sometimes bullets are hard to see with enemies flashing and the 100's of gold dropping from enemies 3) there is no way to change controls 4) they inflate the difficulty by making you start from level 1 after you use up all your 3x3 lives/continues (the games not hard outside issue 1 & 2). i guess they had to make the game last longer with only the 4 levels though after you beat it you can play 1cc mode where it's harder and you don't get continues. overall its a decent sidescrolling shooter where you'll punch enemies if they are in melee range and you can dash into shots to absorb them as ammo though it is on the easy side but do to the small screen you'll take damage leading to having to restart from scratch.

Terrible. I thought I would give it a chance despite the mixed reviews because it kind of looked like a slightly scuffed "bleed". Well let me tell you it is a SUPER scuffed "bleed". Trust the negative reviews, not good. All of the games from this developer seem like they are made by people that definitely have the ability to make a good game, but all of their games end up feeling very rushed and not very well put together.
