Gunbrella for Nintendo Switch

A noir-punk adventure shooter video game

Gunbrella is a premium, stylish action game in which you assume the role of a gruff woodsman who is trying to get revenge on his enemies equipped with a strange gun-umbrella or gunbrella. This is a side-on 2D game that has some old-fashioned style gameplay. It will appeal to players who like the scrolling style of many console-era games.

In Gunbrella, you must move through a dystopian world that has become dependent on diminishing natural resources. Your character will encounter cops, ghouls, and other in-game characters on his quest. When he does, your combat skills will be needed to overcome foes.

A video game with an umbrella weapon

Gunbrella begins with its weathered protagonist embarking on a boat journey toward a dilapidated town. As he approaches his destination, he sees his home engulfed in flames. Rushing home, he found an unrecognizable horror—his wife, lifeless on the floor with blood. This sets the stage for the hero's quest, as he is left with only the mysterious weapon discovered at the crime scene to help him relentlessly pursue his wife's killer.

Within this game, your arsenal includes the mysterious Gunbrella, an extraordinary hybrid of a firearm and an umbrella. This remarkable weapon serves a multitude of purposes, allowing you to combat foes, tackle intricate puzzles, and navigate diverse landscapes. The Gunbrella boasts three core functions—it acts as both a shield for defense, a means to launch projectiles, and a tool for traversing zip lines and other challenging terrains. 

This game seamlessly melds the dynamics of a side-scrolling platformer with the precision of shooter mechanics. As you progress through a sequence of levels during your quest, you'll delve into the enigmatic history of the Gunbrella and cross paths with an eerie alliance of characters, including sinister gangsters, spectral ghouls, devoted cultists, relentless law enforcement officers, and a host of other intriguing personas. The game's graphics give it a moody, noir-style look, while the supernatural side of the game design beefs up its spookiness. However, the multifunctional Gunbrella might have a learning curve that could be initially challenging for some players to grasp fully.

A fusion of classic gameplay and an engaging narrative

Gunbrella is a captivating noir-punk adventure shooter that immerses players in a stylish, side-scrolling 2D world. Armed with the enigmatic Gunbrella, you embark on a vengeance-driven journey through a dystopian realm starved for resources. Encounter a diverse cast of characters, from cops to ghouls, as you employ combat skills and solve puzzles. With its moody, noir-style graphics and eerie supernatural elements, this game offers a unique blend of old-school gameplay and compelling storytelling.
