If you like anime, John Wick-like gunplay and have a certain tolerance for jagged edges, Gungrave G.O.R.E. is a fantastic use of your gaming time. If you’ve been around since Gungrave on the PS2 and Madhouse’s weirdly brilliant anime adaptation, I’m surprised you’re even reading this. You bought this shit already.

Gungrave lives by the simple principle of “kick their ass.” If that premise fails to hook you, nothing G.O.R.E. does will change your mind. If anything, its minor missteps may dissuade you from sticking with it at all. For those who love Gungrave for the kind of game it is, however, G.O.R.E. offers plenty more of it while intelligently expanding the core mechanics. This is one for all the true Gungravers out there howling at the night for more things to shoot.

The story is delivered in an interesting way, with little snippets to read in between missions that help to explain what your next objective is, leaving the missions themselves feeling like you already know the outcome rather than helping to progress. Despite the series having been around since 2002, Gungrave G.O.R.E does have a great feature in the main menu, which allows you to watch a recap of all the major events and introduces all the characters so that new players will know the story leading up to these events, and returning fans can have a refresher before jumping into the new installment. The gameplay focuses heavily on the dual pistols Grave wields and gives players a snappy auto-aim feature, so you can quickly snap between targets like your favourite FPS streamer that claims they just had some coffee and that is why they are so fast… Unfortunately, the auto-aim feature snaps to enemy targets, which isn’t a bad thing if that’s what you’re trying for, but if you wanted to take out a group of enemies by shooting an explosive barrel, I found that you’re better off shooting from the hip, which seems a bit counter-productive. There are special skills Grave can unlock in between levels as you gain experience, from summoning a giant rocket to using the coffin on his back to fire a small barrage of missiles, and it was nice to have some skills to add more damage to the mix of chaos. It isn’t just about the guns though, with a melee system that will see Grave swinging the coffin on his back as a sweeping attack.

Gungrave G.O.R.E. is the kind of game that is going to appeal to two different groups of people: Fans of the original two games, or people nostalgic for this particular style of bullet hell third-person shooter. Returnal in 2021 is an example of this kind of game done in a modernized format with some Roguelike elements, while Gungrave G.O.R.E. deliberately eschews any modernization in an effort of being an authentic, era-appropriate experience. If you’re in the mood for some over-the-top action and can stomach some repetitive shooting, Gungrave G.O.R.E. will satisfy that itch.
