Description
 


Son of a Gun is an intense action packed top down shooter full of bullets, blood and explosions. Collect and manage your guns and grenades to fight swarming bugs, gigantic robots, slimy monsters and even space ghosts. Select one of 6 characters and upgrade them while progressing through the single player campaign. Overwhelming enemies can be sometimes dealt with by the prototype time-bending device. 


 


You are Son of a Gun - an interplanetary mercenary working for the Sons of a Gun organization. You’re called always when firepower matters and something needs to be solved by force. While being on a vacation on a tropical planet you’re just received a phone call from the SOAG Command Center… 


 

 


You'll have plenty of guns in 7 different classes at your disposal. Grab pistols, shotguns, SMG's, rifles, plasma guns, sniper rifles, or rocket launchers - you're defining your own playstyle. Don't forget about grenades - gear up with your favorite grenade type - cluster, force, explosive, implosive… 


 


You'll fight in the heart of the distant planets with versatile biomes. Each with their own unique environment and challenges - reach a target area, unlock base gates, download data from data-pylons or survive the horde's attack. 


 

 


Face over 20 different enemy types with swarming bugs, zombie-like creatures, auto-turrets, gigantic robots, horrific degenerations, slimy monsters and even space ghosts. 


 

 

 
 

  • Plenty of guns in 7 different classes - pick your shooting style

Solid game

I just want to leave a review to say well done to the dev/s for making a quality game. Great art work, tons of guns and a killer soundtrack. We need more games like this one. And fear not people, it has controller support and achievements, I dunno why its not mentioned on the stores "game features". Sort it out GOG!

Good core design but not very fun.

The concept is good; it's a simple little game and it could be very fun, but sadly the dumb AI and absolute atrocious spawn points ruin any shred of immersion. Let me give you some examples. You're in a jungle. Some zombie-like creatures shamble towards you. A big group of them. You unload dozens of bullets from your machine gun. They fall, their blood splattering everywhere. But as they came towards you some of them got "stuck" in the trees. Because of the angle you can't tell they are there. You think you killed everything. So you walk forward and get attacked by the ones that are still alive because they were too dumb to walk around the trees. Their stupidity saved them and hurt you. And it's not just the zombies. Most enemies in this game will stop advancing if they don't see you. So if you go around the corner, they will just stop dead in their tracks until you pop out again. Here's another example: You go down a narrow passage and mow down all enemies. You get to an open area but fast, dangerous enemies come towards you. You open fire on them and retreat down the passage behind you that you JUST CLEARED LITERALLY 5 SECONDS AGO. But you get attacked by enemies that have spawned there. Why? Because **** you that's why! Situations like these are all through the game. Every time you clear an area and move on and encounter new enemies and want to retreat, the area has new enemies that spawn there. It's like the developer has a fear that if there are no new enemies surrounding you every 2 seconds you will get bored. Unfortunately this just makes the game shallower and frustrating. It takes a fun little shooter, sucks out the tactics out of it and turns it into a brainless shooter. Sometimes less is more. If you want a much better game in the same spirit of things, try the old Alien Shooter series. They are cheaper, too!
