Guntech 2 is a return of the good old “cave flyer” shoot ’em ups genre. It’s a retro-style game with state of the art graphics and visual effects via classic gameplay. It’s influenced by such classics as Thrust, Oids, Geometry Wars, and Asteroids. Offering up single-player and couch co-op mode for up to 4 players.
Cave flyers were popular in the 80s and 90s, but this classic genre has been mostly forgotten in the recent past. Guntech 2 is a proud return of the genre. It has quickly become popular among gamers, along with receiving excellent reviews on Xbox. Offering up smooth intuitive controls with full controller support.
