Gun Jam Review - Misses Its Mark

Gun Jam from Jaw Drop Video games and Uncooked Fury is a rhythm-based shooter. We’ve seen a few titles on this style in recent times so does this one innovate and produce extra to the desk?

Sadly, Gun Jam is what I’d prefer to name a very wasted alternative. What initially appeared like a enjoyable rhythm-based recreation with a number of linear ranges chock filled with enemies, turned out to be a lacklustre enviornment shooter as a substitute.

Gun Jam places gamers within the sneakers of one in all 3 totally different characters. You’ll be able to’t choose your character sadly and need to play because the one assigned to the world you select and that’s that.

Diving proper into the sport, there’s barely any form of tutorial or directions. You simply need to determine issues out for your self and sadly, this isn’t good in any respect for gamers. Some notes that scroll up are crammed and others are left clean and there’s no actual indication as to what this actually does. It took some trial and error to understand that totally different colored notes which might be crammed in will trigger my playable character to swap weapons and shoot in a different way.

Being a rhythm recreation, I additionally anticipated the notes to comply with the beats of a music however in Gun Jam, it doesn’t. As a substitute, there’s only a music monitor taking part in within the background whereas beats stream upward and also you’ll simply need to make do with urgent your left mouse button on the proper time based mostly on that. It’s extremely disappointing, to say the least and the builders actually need to do some work on their beat map technology right here.

Graphically, Gun Jam appears fantastic and has a vibrant color palette and artwork type. The visuals are on-point so it’s much more disappointing to notice that the gameplay itself is so missing.

The soundtrack included in Gun Jam is diversified with 10 tracks of assorted genres to maintain you busy within the 4 ranges however based mostly on the sport’s unique demo, one thing modified right here and the ultimate product that we’ve been served is severely disappointing. Jaw Drop Video games and Uncooked Fury must overhaul this recreation if it’s to be saved as a result of because it stands proper now, Gun Jam is really jammed up by its personal lack of content material.

In its present state Gun Jam is playable however it’s not a extremely pleasurable expertise. Capturing enemies feels extraordinarily sluggish and even dodging looks like a painful train in simply ready round for the beats to point out up so you may truly deal some injury.

Mechanically, every little thing is already there and it simply wants some fine-tuning to make it work. Builders, when you’re studying this proper now, please take the neighborhood’s and my suggestions critically and provides this recreation a hefty rework. We would like it to achieve success as a result of it has potential however proper now, it’s simply a mean shooter with a tagged-on beat mechanic that doesn’t actually work as meant. Gun Jam in its present state doesn’t get a suggestion from me.
