    MOTHERGUNSHIP is a ton of fun. When you’ve built a lava-spewing dual minigun with a rocket launcher shooting ricocheting explosives in the middle of your 40th jump since touching the ground- and that’s only on one of your arms- it’s pretty hard not to smile. The game nails its tone, full of color, speed, and humor, and it doesn’t let off the gas pedal from start to finish. It’s not a perfect game, but it does what it needs to do, and I’d have an easy time recommending it to most.

    A successful mix of bullet hell, crafting and FPS with old school charm, but little variety.

    Your enjoyment of Mothergunship is going to be dependent on how much you liked Tower of Guns. Even though other games are starting to adopt the style, the fast pace is still refreshing, and the enemy variety could be better. Players will have tons of fun trying to make up new and ridiculous guns, but they'll also curse the game when it becomes so hard that they lose all of the parts they worked so hard to get. Mothergunship looks and sounds great, and with new modes and items coming in from future patches, there's still some enjoyment to be had after defeating the game. For shooting fans, Mothergunship is well worth checking out.

    Hard and fun for some hours, with some big boss to beat, Mothergunship loses its appeal on the long distance.

    The action is fast, spectacular and satisfying, but also short (especially for a roguelike), because I finished the campaign in around six hours and was left with a bland challenge mode. [10/2018, p.87]

    Mothergunship might not have been made with my specific gaming tastes in mind. But when a game tries so hard to tell me how to play and, worse, punishes me so harshly when I fail, I just can’t for the life of me imagine that any sort of gamer could find long-term enjoyment out of what it offers.

    However fun it might look, some core parts of the game feel forgotten, abandoned or ignored. It's such a great concept and that makes it so sad it didn't even feel like a diamond in the rough.

Along with that it is also a pleasure to play on lower end systems and could most likely run on RECENT intel integrated Graphics.… Expand

    The gameplay is fun itself being a mix of FPS and Bullet Hell    A very fun game concept with a truly unique gimmick of creating your own guns.
    The gameplay is fun itself being a mix of FPS and Bullet Hell genres. Really good sound design and matching soundtrack. Good voice acting and actually funny dialogues between the characters. There were only 2 downsides for me:
    1) the setting wears out even before the main campaign is finished (spoilers, there's a lot more after it plot wise). Even though there are various environments, it's still all techno-alien-ship-ish with robots being the same. Had the game other bioms it would be more fun, as well as live enemies with blood and gore.
    2) experience is presented by pickup items that disappear after a short span of time. One can easily make no exp in the heat of a big fight if it's a huge room, for example. And after level 10 or so the progression goes really slow.

    The lack of multiplier is indeed a lost opportunity, but not such a big deal for me personally    … Expand

    Fun, 7/10, untill you finish main story. After that the balance jumps out of the window and unless you are lucky with RNG or have aboveFun, 7/10, untill you finish main story. After that the balance jumps out of the window and unless you are lucky with RNG or have above average FPS skill, then you'll be constantly obliterated in infinitely scalling missions. And that happens almost immidiately after campaign. Needless to say my "fun" part dropped like a rock in a well.

    Other than that.. As much fun shooting is and weapon-crafting, it could really use some upgrading. Especially part-tiers, how often shop shows up and how many coins you get.    … Expand
