Delicious jank

Have it on Steam. The game's a tough recommendation at this time, but it'll be an easy sell once they optimize it a bit better. Gotta use DLSS set to 'performance' to sustain constant 144 FPS at 1440p/High on my RTX 2070 Super and Ryzen 7 3700X. This is a fast-paced FPS with punchy weapons and incredibly fluid movement (you can dash, double-jump, run on walls, and use a grappling hook to reach distant ledges and walls). The leveling mechanics are akin to those of E.Y.E: Divine Cybermancy (the fans of which I can wholeheartedly recommend this game to since we're already used to the jank), where you earn some sort of currency and upgrade your body parts. Naturally, I went for legs first here as well. You also use that currency to purchase and upgrade your weapons and customization options are plentiful, it's been a time-sink for me. You do this in a small hub area from which you depart for main missions and take up side jobs for cash. The level design is phenomenal, both artistically and in terms of layout, they're VAST - the soundtrack is fitting and unique, switching between atmospheric synth-heavy instrumentals and hard-hitting metal depending on the situation. Comparisons drawn between Necromunda and Doom: Eternal are justified, but Necromunda isn't streamlined the way Eternal is in the slightest, both are amazing in their own rights When they optimize it a bit better and increase the FOV to 120 (as well as let you alter the horizontal FOV), this is an easy sell to FPS fans and at full price too, Necromunda is loads of fun.

What a shooter!!!

This is the type of game that will put this studio on the map! 10/10! Anyway after MandaloreGaming review I was doubtful... I did not like "wall hacks" till later I found out that they are optional (stupid dog). Comparing it to Doom Eternal did not help either cos I did not like that game. But luckily after watching other guy LP the game on OldSchool difficulty I was sold! Good stuff: *40k setting with amazing atmosphere aka sounds/music/graphics/maps/enemies. *Fastest shooter I have seen in years! Reminds me of Painkiller or Quake 2! *Best movement I have seen in a 1st person game! GL trying to master this with gamepads lmao! *RPG elements - hub, character/gear development, chatter etc. Bad stuff: *No quicksaves, only checkpoints... *Some sounds could be better

Necromunda brought to life

As someone who loves the tabletop skirmish game, this was a must buy. I really love the vertical gameplay of Hired Gun, it's quick and brutal combat and it's stunning representation of Necromunda. Seeing Necromunda from the First Person perspective, rather than the birds eye view I'm used from the tabletop is awesome. All those little details the devs placed in Martyr's End and all over the levels are a true joy. The combat is while a bit janky, very fun. The doggo is awesome and I love the bionic upgrade system. It is so brutal, it is so Necromunda. This game is by all means not perfect, but it has totally blown me away.

Visual/audio worthy; technically inept.

Hired Gun has practically convinced me in many ways that the 40k fandom is in the throes of Stockholm Syndrome, I'll explain why: Streum On Studio gave us a lovely gem known as E.Y.E.: Divine Cybermancy, a Source-based predecessor to their prior multiplayer-centric total conversion on old Half-Life, all crafted around the French developer's love and inspirations from the 40k universe and their apparent homebrew RPG that spurred the development of E.Y.E. into an immersion sim FPS. E.Y.E. was great at two things: memes and replayability - unfortunately Streum On Studio thought it'd be a great idea to do this two more times, in the 40k setting, a setting they adored that enabled their creativity, yet by principle, make three genetic copies of the same gameplay, give or take the technical arts of better engines and support. Hired Gun is a flimsy pastiche that tickles the "ooh Doom" nerves and lunchboxes it in Streum's fine respect for textures, lighting, music and architecture but drives little in demand of actually playing ball with the setting itself, that is if there's an iota of understanding about what the setting is anymore. A shoehorned Kal Jerico from the Necromunda-centric novels is a banal vehicle for this different salt of assassin in the 40k universe, meanwhile the trailer teases the Inquisition, the replay missions print "Chaos Helots" sometimes and we find Genestealers in the nosebleed of the hive-world all the while traipsing around for an ill-defined vendetta. Fighting three of the Houses with only a short selection of enemy types to bash this game's afterthought of 40k conventions such as penetration, a confusing and barely archetypical selection of weapons for this firearm-wielding example of a non-Space Marine perspective, imbalances and a pathetic avoidance of technical support and longetivity (oh boy, weapon skins!). Hired Gun is technically inept, a waste of the art, the music (which is good) and time. 40k "fans": you're being abused.

My augmetic legs are okay?

Normally shooter games - especially modern ones - can only count on my passing interest. It is not a genre that manages to grab or hold my attention for long, unless the game in question is especially noteworthy or quirky in a good way. But when I noticed this game was made by studio Streumon of EYE fame I decided to give it a go, especially seeing it was steeply discounted at the time. In this game I was looking for a campy, janky continuation of EYEs DNA into the setting that always seems to have impassioned and captivated Streumons developers. I certainly got my moneys worth out of this game in that regard. From the grand and atmospheric level design to the mad power curve of the player. Bonus points for the extreme oomph-factor of the gunplay and the general mood and voice acting. I wasn't looking for a highly sanitised big budget experience and I'm glad I didn't find that, instead of a highly entertaining and skillfully crafted passion-project. If I have any single complaint, it would be that I'm too slow to keep up with the hectic pace of combat in this game. Playing at more than normal difficulty is unfeasible for me. If you have more skill with fast paced shooters this will likely not be a majour issue for you.
