It's also a powerful shield when opened, letting you easily deflect machine gun fire and other incoming missiles. It's fantastic - a high-caliber close combat weapon that lets you fire bullets in a bombastic spray, instantly turning any enemy caught in your range into a smear of blood-red pixels. Unable to pass through the town until the mayor returns, our gung-ho protagonist decides to rescue them, delving into the cultist's base of operations - an abandoned mine on the outskirts of town - unaware that there are more than just creepy weirdos lurking in the network of underground caverns.īut, back to my love of the shooty shooty brolly.
The demo follows the nameless gruff protagonist - and wielder of the gunbrella - as they saunter into a backwater town, only to find that the mayor and a local lass have been kidnapped by a creepy cult. Even if you’re a bit like me and Metriodvanias aren’t really your thing, the hour-long demo is entirely linear, and messing around with the gunbrella's many, many abilities is more than a good enough reason to have a play, even if you're just mucking around.
The demo I played at PAX is now available to download and play on Steam, and I highly recommend it. I don’t usually go for nails Metriodvanias, but there’s something about Gunbrella’s slick, parkour platforming and scrappy world that made me wanna give it a chance. Ever since played the Gunbrella demo at the Devolver Digital booth at PAX West last year, I couldn’t wait to get my hands on it again.
