Gunbrella Review (DINGO The Dwagon)
After Finishing Gunbrella I overall had a positive experience. Definitely something I would expect with the great teamwork of the dev who made Gato Roboto and Devolver. Though I can imagine there was a lot of pressure put on the development of the game I still really enjoyed myself. However I feel that there was few things lacking. And it really ties itself to the whole "Gunbrella" gimmick
Here is some suggestions I believe that could be/been added to improve the games overall performance.
Now I played this game on "Normal" difficulty but even then the game felt to easy on me.
- Lack of Enemies - most areas you will be wondering and you will barely in the early stages of the game have anything to shoot. I would really loved if rooms had more than 2 - 4 enemies in them and I would sprinkle some more fun pointless things to shoot and use my gunbrella for!
- Spongier Bosses - I have to say the main premise I found with the bosses were that they were waayyy to easy to kill... Really like even early on I barely had my gun upgraded and it still killed them way to fast.
- Beast Boss - I mean... cmon man that just made me feel bad killing the mother and leaving the cubs alone to probably starve ;x; I wish I could just not done that.
- Ammo is practically pointless - The idea of the ammo for your gunbrella is fun but you are A) Always low on ammo or B) Have so little storage for it its honestly better to sell it for other more useful and practical things, not to mention how the base shotgun damage is already enough
- More Parachute gimmicks - Through out the game I only encountered ONE falling segment with the umbrella and that feels like a waste of opportunity.
- New Game Plus? - I feel like this game could really use one after beating the game.
Overall I would just like more of what already is in the game, if rooms and enemies were more sprinkled around and I had more reasons to shoot or jump with my gunbrella around more I would had less annoying time backtracking. But in the end the game was great and I only wish it had more of what it already offered.
7 / 10 - Needs MORE Gunbrella Action
