Eugene is pulled through a portal into a strange land overrun by aliens, with a truck rim that may be his way home. You guide him through a top-down pixel adventure as he searches for the rim.
Explore the world, fight enemies with a shotgun and other weapons, uncover hidden areas, and tackle dungeons filled with enemies, puzzles, and bosses. The game offers little hand-holding, leaving players to work out where to go and what to do.
Collect active and passive items, weapon upgrades, and pieces of the rim as you progress through 10 dungeons. A co-op item lets a second player join, but both players share one health pool; later upgrades can let Eugene wield two shotguns.
In this helpfulness-selected sample, players often enjoy the retro adventure structure, exploring for secrets, and using the shotgun and other weapons in combat. Some also praise the pixel-art style and challenging bosses. Other reviews point to awkward controls, unclear directions, and difficulty spikes.
Shotgun Legend is an action role-playing game that aims to recreate the charm of a classic console game. Yes, one look and it's clear which one we're talking about if you're old enough to remember. Let's get that out of the way now.
Story:
Eugene stumbles through a portal along with a truck rim. He finds himself in a strange land taken over by an alien race. Armed with his shotgun and an arsenal of alien technology, he must find the rim, as it seems to be his ticket home.
Features:
10 dungeons to explore
8 active items and 8 passive items to collect. 16 in total.
A unique take on multiplayer where an item allows a second player to join in that share their health with yours. Potentially increasing damage dealt, but damage taken as well.
Minimal hand-holding. Relive that old school feeling of having to figure out where to go and what to do on your own.
Eventually dual wield shotguns!
