Mothergunship Reviews
As I said above, I'm totally ok with admitting that Mothergunship might not have been made with my specific gaming tastes in mind. But when a game tries so hard to tell me how to play and, worse, punishes me so harshly when I fail, I just can't for the life of me imagine that any sort of gamer could find long-term enjoyment out of what it offers.
Mothergunship has its problems. The repetitive environments and enemy types, long load times, and forgettable dialogue are its most unlikeable attributes. Luckily, its diverse gameplay, fun and frenetic shooting, and deep gun crafting make Grip Digital's latest enjoyable and replayable. Mothergunship is worth seeing through once but I'm sure you'll want to tackle the campaign at least one more time.
Mothergunship is irresistible, fresh, and fun as hell
When played in small bursts, Mothergunship has the potential to be an extremely amusing experience. The bite-sized nature of the mission structure and fast-paced action make it ideal for burning small bursts of time. Even better, the constant progression makes every session, regardless of length, feel like it's consistently contributing towards turning the player into a certifiable badass. As long a bit of repetition isn't a turnoff, there are countless hours of destruction that await.
Mothergunship is a special kind of game. It combines the right about of bullet hell shooting, tosses in some platforming and makes you laugh at the same time. Lots of things to blow up, lots of cool gun configurations, tons of secrets to find and a game that you won’t tire of so easily.
Mothergunship is a big improvement compared to Tower of Guns. Still, there are some elements which require polishing.

Mothergunship is a solid title that hangs its hat on weapon customization, while sacrificing some gameplay. It's definitely worth a go, even if only to show the insane weapon designs one can concoct.
MOTHERGUNSHIP gives you everything you expect from a FPS Bullet hell. Which is to say that there are a lot of bullets, both to dodge and to fire. It is a frenetic and chaotic shooter with a great crafting system that makes the whole thing feel like LEGO had an angry baby with Doom.
Mothergunship is a fusion of good ideas and good mechanics let down by some poor design choices and inexcusable bugs, but what's here is a good foundation for Grip Digital to build and improve upon.
It's hard to talk about Mothergunship without mentioning Tower of Guns, but seeing as that was my go-to game for four months straight, I can't really consider that a problem.
As an FPS, Mothergunship and its amazing gun crafting is an improvement on what came before. As a roguelike, the game fails at the basics, providing an overly randomized system and lackluster progression.
The fast-paced bullet hell action doesn’t always mesh with the restricted peripheral view, and the game’s challenge wanders into unfair territory at times, but there’s a confident style about the game that’s endearing
Mothergunship could have easily been a failure, but somehow it comes together as a creative and inventive package.
Mothergunship is definitely able to deliver some fun. That is, if you are lucky enough for the game to generate interesting arenas.

MOTHERGUNSHIP is tons of fun to play, but it's also that kind of FPS that doesn't really evolve the more you play. The ability to create weapon "cocktails" is simply awesome, but the action itself is way too repetitive to let that shine.
Let’s be clear! Without no doubt, Mothergunship is one of the best old-school shooters that we have seen in these years. With addictive gameplay and super amazing gun customization (that lead to creation of really insane guns), Mothergunship takes you to one of your funniest and also challenging adventures that you have experienced so far. Mothergunship is an old-school first person shooter that you must not to lose.

Take the fight to the enemy in this roguelike, bullet-hell FPS from Grip Digital.
Mothergunship has some interesting ideas and unique gameplay mechanics, but it doesn't deliver as enjoyable of an experience as it may seem on paper. The gunplay is lackluster, weapon crafting isn't as extensive as you might hope, and the roguelike design elements mostly work against the game.
Mothergunship is not flawless, but its fast-paced gameplay really makes the difference. Mothergunship mixes some good elements of other FPS titles with its own innovations such as great weapon-making system, and provides a unique and very fun experience.

With addictive gameplay and an unprecedented combination of several creative mechanics, Mothergunship not only pays tribute to famous and essential titles of the FPS genre, such as Doom, Quake and Wolfenstein, but also became a mandatory game on PlayStation 4 to those raised by these franchises.
