Gunslugs 2

Gameplay reviews are mixed, with some players criticizing the animations and overall fun factor, while others appreciate the retro feel and fast-paced run-and-gun mechanics reminiscent of classic titles like Metal Slug. The inclusion of collectible coins that can be spent on various upgrades adds a layer of strategy, though opinions on the execution vary significantly.
- “A combination of fast run and gun gameplay mixed with elements of all our favorite movies and other pop-art from the 90s and 80s.”
- “This game isn't for me, and hopefully the following gameplay and commentary can tell exactly why.”
- “The coins you collect during gameplay can still be spent in the many shops dotted around each level, which sell a modest rotation of buff items like shields that make you look like Batman or Robocop, and health upgrades.”
- “Initial impressions - nice 'retro' feel to it, coupled with Metal Slug gameplay.”

The story revolves around a nostalgic action-packed mission where players rescue characters reminiscent of 80s action movie heroes, adding a humorous and retro flair. However, the gameplay experience is marred by frustratingly difficult daily missions and a repetitive arcade mode that mirrors the story but penalizes players by restarting them at the beginning upon death.
- “I beat the first 5 missions by holding down right and holding the fire button down.”
- “Daily missions that are impossible, and arcade mode, which is the same as the story mode, but when you die you go back to the first level of the game.”
- “On your dangerous ass-kicking mission, you’ll rescue your buddies from the first game, all of whom are cute pixelated send-ups of 80s action movie heroes.”

The humor in Gunslugs 2 features action movie references and a fast-paced, explosive environment, but it lacks the comedic elements present in the first game, such as random mini-game rooms and cameos from characters of other game series.
- “Giant bosses, lots of explosions, fast pace, it's all here with a pinch of funny action movie references.”
