Gunslugs 2 takes the action chaos genre further than ever before... into space and beyond. Rockets, tanks, choppers, train crashes, huge metal robots, aliens and hordes and hordes of the Black Duck army minions ! It's fun, over the top, action movie parody in a not-so-serious way
I don't find this game enjoyable. It's pretty much the same level, after and after, with different ennemies.
It's better as a mobile game, free-to-play, but not as a game on PC. You can't even change the resolution, ugh.
There's almost no explanation, you just shoot everything in front of you and try your best to get health because it's damn near impossible...

Where Gunslugs 2 comes up short is after you play Broforce... that...
I was about to write a longer review about this game but how should i do so if the game kinda plays itself if you only hold down the fire button and going right?
I mean it.
I played the first 3 worlds (i guess each 2 levels + boss) and the first level of world 4 and i had NO health problem either ammo problem by just holding down the firebutton, running...
