Today I took a look at GunHero [Steam, Official Site], an action platformer with a visual style very similar to Broforce. As a huge Broforce fan I was eager to give it a run!
Disclosure: Key provided by the developer.
I'm going to be honest, the entire intro sequence made me utterly cringe. Some games are so stupid they're funny, but the intro here was just awful.
The gameplay is very similar to Broforce, quite shockingly so. It's quite obviously inspired greatly by it, but since it doesn't have level destruction is does play out quite differently. You have to think a little more on what you're going to do, since you can't just blow a hole in a level to get around an enemy.
Annoyingly, the game is not stable at all. It frequently crashes to the desktop and has made any attempt at reviewing it a real nuisance. It's a shame, because the gameplay actually seems fun, challenging and probably a good one to buy for action platformer fans.
I've emailed the developer about it, so hopefully they can patch it and we can give it a test again then and do a proper review. Right now though, it's not stable enough to recommend or to actually get far enough into it before it crashes to gather any real thoughts. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

Quoting: Whitewolfe80Quoting: tuubiQuoting: Whitewolfe80for f*ck sake enough of this bad pixel shite at least make the games look like a 16 bit game instead of mess of blocks.(owlboy is retro pixels done right)Yeah, why didn't they simply make it as pretty as Owlboy? It's just art, right? It's not like it requires real talent, skill, effort or time. I'm sure the developer appreciates and will take heed of your super constructive criticism. [/snark]
Sorry edgelord but i am sick and tired of pixel crap games there are so many and i am so over them. Yes creating a game takes talent, but i hope that creativity would lead them to look at just how many pixel barf games (broforce is a fun game but looks terrible) are available and then decide on a different art style.
If you are a Linux gamer then you gotta love this kind of games because there is not good games on the horizon as usual
