Dear... God. This game is fun.
As someone who deeply enjoys customization, I have played a lot of games with customization at the forefront of my mind: Robot Wars, Final Fantasy Tactics, Custom-ROBO, Minecraft; you name it, if you can build a thing or customize some stuff, that's what I'll be focusing my attention on. So when I first saw Mothergunship, I was equal parts excited and skeptical as to whether or not it could deliver on the ambitious premise.
I should not have worried! This is a fast-paced, run and gun, first person shooter where you literally build your own gun, and it's a blast. Add connectors to your weapon to open up sockets, then attach stuff to the sockets. Chain guns, shotguns, grenade launchers, fireworks, flamethrowers, doesn't matter. Have part, can shoot.
Will shoot!
And there are next to no limitations on the way you can build your gun. Want faster bullets? Done. Want bullets to ricochet? Sure. Want every shot to spit out an energy pack so you don't have to let go of the trigger? Before breakfast, without a hassle.
The only real limit I've found so far as far as gun building are the energy requirements. If you put all the guns on a single trigger pull, you run out of energy until you recharge. But other than that, you are heartily encouraged to go crazy. You have a triple jump, a hefty left hook punch, and a hilarious cast of characters.
The graphics are very well done, the speed at which you do things is more than acceptable, there is keyboard and controller support, and the music is awesome as well.
After playing this little portion of the game, I am more excited than ever. Mothergunship is currently in development and will be released in 2018. Until then, you can check out the free demo here.
