Gungrave G.O.R.E

A 2022 third-person shooter sequel with mixed reviews.

Last updated

The game is a sequel to earlier titles in the series including Gungrave (2002) and Gungrave: Overdose (2004).[1] Studio IGGYMOB developed and Prime Matter published the 2022 third-person shooter Gungrave G.O.R.E (Gunslinger of REsurrection).[1] At its initial launch, the game garnered a mixed critical reception.[1]

Key facts and history

Beyond the Grave is the character players control, tasked with fighting the Raven Clan because they are distributing Seed, a drug that turns people into monsters.[2] Remaining stationary boosts damage output, and performing kills without any breaks in combat unlocks further attacks.[2] The South Korean studio IGGYMOB admired the original Japanese game but had difficulty securing funding due to the dominance of mobile games in their country.[3] An open-world concept was initially considered but later dropped because the developers felt it didn't suit their intended design.[3]

What the cited sources add
