Ratings and reviews

One of the best games I've played on mobile. Easy to get into & has depth. Similar to his other game Enyo but this is on a different level. Can be a battery hog & heats up device fairly quickly though. Seriously needs an option to speed up enemy turns since they take way too long. Daily leaderboards are full of the same cheaters everyday. They finish the runs in less moves than even remotely possible. Same people at the top everyday doing this. It needs to be looked into.

Being stunned is almost always certain death and in some levels it feels like your fate is sealed just from the first two moves you make. Other times, when you are being attacked by multiple enemies at once, you will be forced into moving constantly without ever being able to take a shot. Among this, some of the ammo types lead to more harm than good, like explosive ammo killing you if the enemy is right next to you or the fire one trapping you in a corner. Otherwise, this game is quite fun.

Guncho has made its way into the list of some of my favorite roguelikes. It's priced fairly, and a solid chunk of the game is availible even without paying. The mechanics are super satisfying, and gameplay is snappy. The sheer amount of interactions and possibilities that come with Guncho make it really replayable, especially with the many power-ups. The graphics and design in general are all very charming. With just a little bit more content and modes, it would be the perfect game!
