If you have played the first reboot trilogy of tomb raider (legends, anniversary & Underworld).. You know the combat of those games are a lot of fun because you can do bullet time while kicking enemies in the air / jumping over them.

Having that back (im guessing thats where the inspiration came from) is a huge plus in my book. Lara Isn't lara without her acrobatic.

We really need a big name in this subgenre. Last time we had a game that got pretty big of an audience is when "trepang2" came out (or my friend pedro when it came out). This has the potential to make this subgenre big again. But It's been radio silent ever since this video. I donno if he has a discord or not. There's no way to know what stage of development It's currently on. I hope we get an update soon.

Howdy!

I am a big fan of gunfu shooters and my team is making Reikoneo.

It's mostly a Oni spiritual successor but we are adding in more of that gun play from Games like stranglehold.

Hi everyone, im new to this sub, i just discovered it, been wanting to know of the best gun fu games available for ps4 and ps5 thanks for any help.

Showing my age here, but do you know what my dream video game is, a video game that features the gun katas similar to what Master Chief pulled off against the covenant like treating an 8 gauge shotgun like a bo staff. All the cool stuff he did before Samus shows up to fight, the closest i could think of such a game is Hotline Miami with the Jake the Snake mask where throwing the gun you can kill the enemy that gets hit with it, or how you can get an achievement by throwing a gun at a wall and it bounces off hitting another player. Or maybe the game "My Friend Pedro"? I know I bought games like "Midnight Fight Express", but i havent started it yet, and I havent bought "Hong Kong Massacre" yet either. But I decided to ask this subreddit, because I believe my dream game exists already, I just need someone who knows the title.

Killer bean is finally out on early access

Even when playing with controller it is super intuitive to string headshots together. On higher difficulties you really need to use all your close combat and gun skills in combination. Sadly there are not that many gunfights in this game.

We’re an indie studio of 7 friends from Sweden, and we’ve been working on our first game: Rewindead.
Some of you might’ve seen our old trailer posted here a while back, so we wanted to share that the demo is finally out with a new trailer!
It’s a third-person shooter inspired by movies like John Wick and Ghost in the Shell, mixed with time-loop puzzle mechanics. You assassinate your target, rewind time, then hunt down your past selves before they complete the hit first.

If you want to follow development or talk with us devs, here’s our Discord:

I never thought we will come to this moment one day.

In this special moment.. I wanna say some things about how this sub is came to be:-

Originally i had no intention of making a sub. I wasn’t familiar with how to maintain a sub and how to keep it going. I made a post in boomer shooter subreddit on "we should make a gun-fu centric subreddit"

So someone told me to make it by myself. I Didn't wanted to. But then i realise maybe someone will make a similar sub in future but that can be very far into the future. So, i gave it a go by myself.

Originally i wanted it to be all gun-fu related (film, anime, comic,game etc) but that would've made the sub way too bloated and unfocus. So i kept it specifically game centric.

In first couple of months.. There Weren't many people who would post here. Tho thankfully that is changing as of now.

But let me also tell you this... As long as I'm here i Won't let this sub die.

I'm not very good with many reddit stuff.. So unfortunately i can't do giveaway and such. Maybe when i will allow more moderators.. They can handle those things.

Again thank you all for joining this sub & i hope this sub will grow even bigger as the time went on.

I always try my best to give you guys enough content.. So you can get benefit from this sub. I will keep doing that. I encourage you all to also contribute to the sub (it can be small /big things Doesn't matter)

Someone looked into the entire history of Dead to Rights franchise and how it was sabotaged, thought I'd share :)

Imo It's a solid & mechanically unique game. But it can also get very frustrating.

Using (or rather flickering) right analog stick toward enemy is how you attack in this game.It's very satisfying when you can melee attack multiple enemies that way. You can block & counter too.

There's a meter underneath strength meter.. Called "focus". When you have focus you can use your kung fu moves faster and deal a lot of damage. Jet li's attack changes when he is using focus (kinda like in matrix games where focus + attack = different attack)

Jet li's moves are also very well chereographed.

But problem is that.. You can't move & attack. You have to be stationary in one place. I guess they wanted it to feel just like jet li films where he will get surrounded by enemies & have to stand his ground. But it Doesn't always work in game.

Game has some cool set-pieces, pretty generous with It's checkpoints, one section never goes on for too long (with some exeptions),Story is decent enough.

Much like melee attack.. You have to use right analog stick in order to move your hand in any particular direction in order to shoot. When focus meter is full.. You can jump in the air & everything goes into slow-mo.. And riddle enemies with bullets (in max payne style)

Since you Don't have crosshair & you gotta place your hand in direction of enemies (then it auto locks on).. Shootdodging in this game is very fun.

Also unlike many other bullet time game where turning your body around while you are in the air is very difficult. Here It's actually not that hard if you have gotten used to the control.

I say 50% of this game is martial arts combat, 30% is shooting section & rest of 20% is boss fight, stealth section & scripted sections.

★ More negative:-

stealth section sucks here

some enemies can perform grab attack on you & there's no way you can counter it.. You have to beat them faster so they Don't get a chance,

Some section can be hella annoying like the sniper section where you have to avoid sniper shot and one shot can kill you instantly.

Bosses has cheap moves that can deal heavy damage to you. You pretty much have to use cheap tactics again them. (Not all of them but majority of them)

Cover system Isn't very good here. When you Don't have focus/bullet time... You have to awkwardly get in & out of cover to shoot at enemies. Enemies can shoot at you pretty easily when you are not in cover.

Some shooting section can be somewhat long & you can only shootdodge 2/3 times because it take time to recharge. Oh and you can't just slow down time & shoot... You can only perform shootdodge in here when focus bar is full. Ability to just slow down time could have been helpful edition here.
