Gunbrella Reviews
I was really left wanting more of Gunbrella's levels and gameplay, to the point where I feel that 6 hours wasn't enough. Perhaps it could benefit from more stages that mix challenge and creativity. As it stands, it is still a great indie action platformer to pick up. Gunbrella really delivers where it counts: an action-packed 2D run-and-gun search action offering with a quirky-yet-serious presentation and a badass weapon.
Gunbrella is an interesting horror-noir with satisfying platforming and combat physics, the kind you can only get when you combine a gun and an umbrella. The game moves quickly when it needs to and slows down a bit to give you lore and introduce you to its characters, without ever killing the great pacing you’d expect from a side-scrolling shooter. Once again, Devolver Digital has published an indie darling that should quickly pick up a Cult 45 following.
Gunbrella is an interesting side-scroller that offers polished gameplay and a precise control system. The noir-punk theme, coupled with a rough atmosphere, make Doinksoft's work one that I recommend, both for fans of hard-boiled stories and for those who like a lighthearted approach to the genre that offers a lot of fun thanks to its ideas and creativity.
