Developed by ANB_Seth · Published by 2080 Games
You play the Gunman, an operative taking contracts against the Collectors, a criminal operation involved in killing and kidnapping. The connected story missions follow his investigation from a safehouse to locations including a warehouse district and a mob-run restaurant.
Fight through enemy-filled areas using pistols, rifles, shotguns, knives, a bow and other weapons. The game supports VR and non-VR play, with features such as slow-motion combat, weapon attachments and selectable weapon sounds.
Between contracts, use the Hive base for target practice, shooting courses and combat training. Earn money through missions to unlock weapons and attachments, then replay contracts or enter Takedown and Last Stand challenges, which offer configurable enemy encounters and bomb-disarming survival waves.
Players who enjoy the game often praise its punchy shooting and action-movie combat, especially the sense of immersion in VR. Reviews also appreciate the weapon selection and customization, visual presentation, and replay options. Criticism frequently focuses on uneven performance and finicky VR interactions, while enemy behavior and the short current campaign are recurring concerns.
"Gunman Contracts – Stand Alone" is an intense, action-movie-inspired single player shooter created from the ground up for VR and Non-VR. Take on the role of “the gunman”, a professional operative feared in the criminal underworld, working for an illusive order vowed to deliver justice in a world beyond the reach of the law - one contract at a time.
From solo developer ANB_Seth, creator of the popular Half-Life: Alyx mods "Gunman Contracts – Chapter 1 & Chapter 2", this game takes the action to the next level with a completely new, from-the-ground-up developed single-player experience.
The Gunman sets his sights on a new target: The Collectors - a ruthless crime operation killing and kidnapping innocent people for reasons yet unknown. Pick out your gear, take aim and get ready to kill your way to the dark truth behind the collectors operation. From an old Safehouse outside the city, to a warehouse district and a mob run restaurant with a dark truth kept below.
The gunman's base features a speed-shooting obstacle course, pop up target practice, a classic gun range, and holographic combat training. Your gun wall has 18+ weapons to unlock and a gun bench to make them your own.
In the Takedown-Mode you can select Enemy types, Enemy count and then clear the area. In Last Stand, survive an endless wave of hostiles and disarm bombs as long as you can. Feeling competitive, or just out for a personal best? Every contract, challenge and skill game features steam leaderboards (divided up between VR and Non-VR).
The game launches in Early Access with a set of 3 full story missions and challenge maps, with 3 additional story missions to be added with free future updates. However, the price of the game is set to increase as more contracts and content are added up to version 1.0. So feel free to join the party early!
