  • story
    13 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story of Gun Wings revolves around three cybernetic girls tasked with stopping a giant meteor threatening Earth, set against a backdrop of a recently rebuilt post-apocalyptic world. While the narrative provides a basic framework for the gameplay, many reviewers note that it lacks depth, character development, and meaningful interactions, making it feel underwhelming in comparison to the fast-paced action.

    • “The story is not the biggest side of the game, though it's understandable as the concept of a shoot 'em up is the gameplay. The story goes that a giant meteor is headed towards Earth, and it is up to three girls who had their bodies modified to be weapons to destroy the meteor and save humanity, which had recently rebuilt after an apocalypse that almost wiped it out.”
    • “This game lacks the story and character setting because of the producer’s laziness.”
