Son of a Gun

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 sometimes be 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 always called 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.
