Mothergunship Reviews
However fun it might look, some core parts of the game feel forgotten, abandoned or ignored. It's such a great concept and that makes it so sad it didn't even feel like a diamond in the rough.
Though the core gameplay is as rock solid as Tower of Guns, MOTHERGUNSHIP's weapon crafting is a victim of lost potential. Still, we're hopeful that Terrible Posture Games can turn it around with future updates.
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.
MOTHERGUNSHIP is another unique take on the first person shooter, and at first glance it seems to take the central strengths of Tower of Guns to a new level. The gunplay is still as solid as ever, and having overarching RPG elements makes the disparate missions feel more like a cohesive game. However, MOTHERGUNSHIP feels more like an Early Access title than a fully finished game. Some bits feel like a step backwards from Tower of Guns, while many elements seem like they need more time and refinement to really gel.
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 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.
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.
Mothergunship is definitely able to deliver some fun. That is, if you are lucky enough for the game to generate interesting arenas.

Mothergunship is for those who don't mind punishing themselves and who like to break through walls to make progress. Challenging and with a unique gun crafting mechanic, the game manages to break the mold slightly. But with some performance issues and the uninspired settings I feel that the game may be better served with a price drop.
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.
If you're interested in nonstop shooting, you can definitely enjoy MOTHERGUNSHIP. Everyone else should wait a bit longer to figure out how'll the developers deal with its current issues.

It's fast, frantic and fun, but with so many loading screens and conversations to get through, the immersion breaks down leaving a frustrating shooter that's a little overpried.
Mothergunship's glorious, fast-paced action is let down in the long run by a small enemy roster and repeating room layouts.
There really aren't many other shooters out there that offer this sort of blend of comedy, speed, chaos, and gun customization.
Take the fight to the enemy in this roguelike, bullet-hell FPS from Grip Digital.
In conclusion, Mothergunship is more than the sum of its disparate parts, and definitely deserves your time. It's a big silly mix of destruction, synths, and sci-fi and a lot of fun to play through.
Mothergunship is a game that takes something from almost every genre. Classic FPS, roguelike and bullet hell are the main pillars of a title that, in spite of having some important flaws, is funny as hell.

Mothergunship has some interesting ideas, and a couple of awful gameplay choices that makes this game a little less fun that it should have been.

All in all, Mothergunship is a must-have for fans of shooters, bullet hell, or just plain fun arcade-style games.
