  • Summary: From the team that created the award-winning Greed Corp, comes Gatling Gears. Set within the same Mistbound universe featuring signature elements like collapsing land, walker units and warring factions, but now with twin-stick shooter controls and a new hero, Max Brawley. In this eclectic steampunk setting, players fill the air with lead as they try to defeat a monopolistic corporation that is depleting the world of its natural resources. Expand

  1. Both beautiful and chaotic - a bit like Cheryl Cole's bed hair. [Sept 2011, p.116]

    The intricately detailed environments make for a world you actually want to save. And if that hippy crap doesn't cut it for you, know that mowing down hordes of tiny men in what is essentially an AT-ST from Star Wars is just as satisfying as it sounds.

    It's not at all necessary to play with others in order to have fun with Gatling Gears, but you should do everything you can to bring a friend in on the fun, because if there's anything better than one crazy warmachine, it's two crazy warmachines. If your life is missing some boom, Gatling Gears is just what the doctor ordered. It looks fantastic and will put a smile on your lips. Solid dual stick shooter with eyebleeding detailed graphics.

    It eventually drives the concept into the ground. [Issue#207, p.98]
