Showgunners
Description
In a dystopian future where corporations rule, a brutal reality show is the hottest entertainment property in town! You play as Scarlett Martillo, a contestant out for revenge. To win, you must navigate dangerous urban arenas packed with lethal traps and face off against hordes of heavily-armed psychopaths.
Each stage in Showgunners has been hand-crafted to create a curated, turn-based tactical gameplay experience, heightened with the inclusion of a diabolical show director that can hinder Scarlett or help her opponents depending on your performance. This dynamic level design ensures that no two levels play the same way and keep players thinking tactically. Showgunners has been built to challenge and delight players, whether they’re a turn-based tactical game initiate or a long-time fan of the genre!
Scarlett won’t be fighting alone. As the story progresses, players will recruit new partners that can turn the tide of battle in all kinds of exciting ways. Upgrade your characters by spending talent points in their unique skill trees and outfitting them with weapons bought at a shop or earned during battle. Hidden challenges within each chapter can unlock more allies, legendary weapons, and helpful items, so be sure to keep an eye out!
Players will need to navigate an obstacle course of deadly traps and lethal puzzles in real-time, but be prepared for an ambush at any corner. Psychopathic enemies like the Ogre and the Ronin aren’t the only deadly elements you’ll need to overcome. Combat scenarios are peppered with unique environmental hazards, from ticking time bombs to runaway trains.There is never a dull moment in Showgunners!
Gain fame by avoiding death, surviving rounds, and eliminating your enemies with gruesome panache. The more you succeed, the more fans you earn; your growing fame will yield increasingly beneficial sponsorship deals.
Streamers, rejoice! Use the native Twitch integration to keep audiences engaged by letting them control the direction of each level. They can add more enemies, change the terrain, add or remove obstacles, or send useful items, all from chat.

God is a Geek
8/10
If you like the genre you'll find Showgunners a worthy inclusion, despite its no-frills approach. Just go in with the right expectations.

8.5/10
Showgunners consistently delivers thrills, strategy, violence and a pitch-black satire of capitalism, social media and fame.

8/10
In its looks and execution, Showgunners does what it set out to do and creates a turn-based love letter to the 90s, updating those themes for a modern audience, while still somehow not managing to lose authenticity. It's a job well done and I'd much like to explore this universe further in the future.

Solid if nothing special
If you've got an XCOM itch it's worth it. Nowhere near as difficult and preset characters seem to hinder replayability but nice in a sale :)

Good old fashioned fun game.
Less mechanics and complexity compared to other TRPGs but every element is is executed very well. The entire game comes together as a well-oiled machine that knows what it wants to be and has almost zero bloat or slowdown. Definitely recommend for TRPG fans low investment both financially and time wise but a lot of fun to play.

Turn-based Tactics With Strong Flavor
Showgunners has got a surprise for you! Great game overall! It's got great gameplay, it's got strong characters, it even has the kind of unexpected drama that you'd expect from scripted television. You start out with two characters and by the time you get your third, and it's a winding road getting to the third, the game at last comes into itself. For much of the game you will be working with three out of a cast of six - until the last chapter, in which all six come into play a la XCOM. Oh and there's a free DLC that is perfectly integrated into the last chapter and extends the game by 4 scenarios. This reminds me of a little bit of another TbT game called Mutant Year Zero which also has an eclectic cast of characters, only Showgunners is a much better TbT game with much stronger characters. Even the dystopic game show setting has plenty of flavor, with the commentator constantly yelling out the play-by-play as you dispatch, without prejudice, unrehabilitated criminals. On top of that, there's even the occasional moral critique of the state of said world that is appropriately fleeting and sorely justified for the setting.

Made for mobile?
The game is so intuitive, in the first2 battle I naturally pressed buttons that in this game are making completly other stuff, like the camera movement / rotation will confirm the character movement... I was looking for a way to pass my turn, didnt found it, and without wanted it, I accidently passed the turn, no idea how I did it.
