Gun Bros / iPad Review

My first contact with Gun Bros forecasted nothing special. Another freemium app, with tons of brazen ads and cool looking premium weapons. Frankly - I could have exited this game before even playing a minute, uninstalled it and forget it (at least till some other Gloo game wouldn't remind me it - Men vs Machines anyone?), but.. some annoying voices in my head told me to at least give it a try.

Having spent a dozen, or rather a few dozens evenings with Gun Bros I must say it's one of the most action packed games I've played. It has no plot (at least I don't remember it having none ;) ), just pure shoot and survive action. 
First you select game mode (tbh I play only classic, single player mode - I don't have time to get angry at someone elses lack of skill.. my own lack of skill is sufficient ;) ). Next you choose a planet - if you have already unlocked other planets of course.



First waves on the first planet are easy, you'll find it simple to max them out (survive without taking a hit). After that the difficulty level gets harder, and it keeps you really focused on improving your maneuvering and accuracy skills. It's really fun, when you've got some fast-firing  havoc-bringing arms, and your'e surrounded by throngs of enemies, and you try to dodge their bullets and keep moving while firing in all directions. Really, Gun Bros sometimes gives you a huge adrenaline pump.. but yet it's a relaxing game :) It makes a really relaxing evening to sit comfortably on an armchair, land on Bokor and try to survive there more than a minute. 

The last thing I'd like to mention is that in the end you really don't have to spend a penny to have fun with Gun Bros. Of course you can - there are tons of premium guns which will make you drool, and pieces of body armor which will probably make you live a lot longer - but it won't take long for you to start ignoring everything with dollars written all over them... There's just too much of it all.


Graphics: 5
Gameplay: 5
Sound: 5
Overall: 4.5 (-0.5 for tons of ads and premium content)
