Gun Jam Evaluation - 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 totally wasted alternative. What initially appeared like a enjoyable rhythm-based recreation with a number of linear ranges chock stuffed with enemies, turned out to be a lacklustre area shooter as a substitute.

Gun Jam places gamers within the footwear of one among 3 completely different characters. You’ll be able to’t choose your character sadly and should play because the one assigned to the world you select and that’s that.

Diving proper into the sport, there’s barely any type of tutorial or directions. You simply should determine issues out for your self and sadly, this isn’t good in any respect for gamers. Some notes that scroll up are stuffed 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 completely different colored notes which are stuffed in will trigger my playable character to swap weapons and shoot in another 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 an alternative, there’s only a music monitor enjoying within the background whereas beats circulation upward and also you’ll simply should make do with urgent your left mouse button on the proper time primarily based on that. It’s extremely disappointing, to say the least and the builders actually need to do some work on their beat map era right here.

Graphically, Gun Jam appears high-quality and has a vibrant color palette and artwork fashion. 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 primarily based 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 have to 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. Taking pictures enemies feels extraordinarily sluggish and even dodging seems like a painful train in simply ready round for the beats to point out up so you may really deal some harm.

Mechanically, all the things is already there and it simply wants some fine-tuning to make it work. Builders, in case you’re studying this proper now, please take the group’s and my suggestions severely and provides this recreation a hefty rework. We wish 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 supposed. Gun Jam in its present state doesn’t get a advice from me.
