‘80s synthwave and neon pinks and blue go hand-in-hand. A timeless combination that will continue to be used together a long way into the future. Add to this some weapon-based mechanics and you’ve almost got yourself a videogame. Add to all this a shield to reflect bullets and bounce off otherwise deadly obstacles and you’ve got yourself a game that comes out today. Gunborg: Dark Matters is out now on the Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch and PC.
Arriving on a spaceship filled with hostile aliens, you’ve got to get yourself through it and capture the deadly bosses within. Armed with a blade and a shield, can you make it through unscathed?
Gunborg: Dark Matters isn’t just a melee affair. Use your enemies weapons against them as you battle through arcade-style 2D action. If Gunborg: Dark Matters is more of a walk in the park than a run through enemy territory, up the ante with a higher difficulty setting. Probably just whack it up to the max actually because Gunborg has a super-fast respawn meaning any deaths are almost forgotten about instantly. Elden Ring, this is not.
Gunborg: Dark Matters also features:
- Skill based arcade-style gameplay
- Three difficulty settings
- All enemy weapons can be picked up by the player
- A powerful shield to deflect enemy bullets
- Dark energy super charges your weapons
- Smooth gameplay and fluid animations
- Super fast addictive respawn cycle
Gunborg: Dark Matters is available to download now priced at £12.49 on the Xbox Store. Those of you quicker than a Gunborg respawn can swipe the game up cheaper at just £11.24 for a very limited time. And those of you waiting won’t have to wait long; our review is not far away.
