![]() ![]() Give more chances to use dodges and reward good dodging with more chances at firing. Maybe have more physical attacks or different gun varieties. I worry that it’s going to file for divorce with how much I’m abusing it. I swear, my poor Square button can’t take this much work. And I had to play Drakengard at the same time, another game that demands you smash the Square button. It’s not an absolute deal breaker for me, but late game enemies will wear out your thumbs so fast. Gungrave is just mashing the Square button and pressing the occasional Triangle and Circle, maybe X if you are getting so swarmed you need to dodge. The camera sucks a dick, but the game has all sorts of moves, weapons to swap out, how you balance guns with swordplay and tuants, juggles, so much. I was asked by my friend, one pLaStIcSUNDAE why a game like Devil May Cry got so much love while Gungrave fell into obscurity… Seriously? I mean, I love Gungrave, but there’s a reason why. That said, my one complaint is the style you fight itself. From mafia to ninjas to tanks and helicopters to giant abominations that I can’t even comprehend. The enemy variety is a nice change of pace too. You can even leave bullet holes in the walls all around you, a feature that was in a game over fifteen years old and yet Fallout 76 couldn’t do that. Honestly, if Gungrave had the level of destruction you see in games today, this shit would be so therapeutic. Sure, it’s nothing too crazy, but for PS2, destroying an entire grocery store or hotel lobby in a blaze of gunfire is so much fun. One thing I love about the game is the sheer amount of destruction you can find in the environments. Yes, I am cowarding out, but I beat the game on normal for the first time. Those bulldozer and sentry robots duo bosses? Yeah, fuck those bosses. And let me say, playing on easy is the preferred method for a newcomer, because I played the game on normal and it had some serious problems with enemies coming at you relentlessly and bosses were just as tough. I never got a game over, but to be fair, I was playing on easy because I already beat the game once before and I just wanted to get some footnotes for the review. Run out of shield and you will start taking damage to your health. When you aren’t attacking or getting attacked, the shield regenerates. ![]() You have a shield that covers you from health. Of course, you aren’t immune to everything. It really does give you a great feeling of mowing down thugs. The enemies come in swarms, but they are just weak enough for you to kill them in droves and move to the next target. The further you go in the game, the more special moves you can unlock. You do have other attacks, like a close range melee attack that knocks over guys blocking and clears the area near you and if you have enough energy, you can use a heavy attack that does huge damage to anyone in the way of your gun. Just keep hammering away at the square button and watch those guys go flying. You start out firing an army’s amount of bullets at gangsters from your two guns. Anyway, political comments aside, the gameplay starts out with some insane combat. Also, this creator really likes putting guns in his title, because guns are cool. The game wastes no time with how dumb the story telling of this game is, but that’s to be expected when the creator’s previous work was Trigun, another great piece of story telling but still a laughably dumb one. Or not… Again, I never played the first game.Īs stated before, you play as the previous main character, Beyond the Grave, as he is sent on missions to deal with the spread of Seed, an alien lifeform that turns people into monsters that are sold all over the world through underground criminal organizations including the mafia. So let us talk about Gungrave Overdose and see if it outclasses its predecessor. I can appreciate a dumb premise if it revels in it’s own stupidity and has fun with it. But hey, the game’s got a slick style to it and has this appeal to it that bounces back and becomes cool. But in Overdose, he works alongside anime girl, a young boy, a blindfolded samurai and a ghost with an electric guitar… Did I mention this game was super smart and not stupid as fuck. Gungrave is a very smart and well made game about a man named Beyond the Grave who is brought back from the dead to exact revenge on his once best friend who betrayed him and took over the mafia with the help of aliens and works alongside an anime girl. Little did people know that it was actually based on a video game first and foremost before it was adapted into the strange anime that we see. Gungrave is a weird sort of property that came into existence as a video game first before getting adapted into a video game. I’ve never played the first Gungrave game. ![]()
