Overall I'm really impressed with Gunheart. It's easy to get caught up in the importance of the cross-play aspect, but the game itself is great fun. It's a solid shooter, which some great mechanics and customization that should keep players engaged for quite some time, at the very least long enough to get their money's worth.

Gunheart is an over-the-top arcade shooter that plays excellently in both 2D and VR modes, thanks to the inclusion of some tight and fluid controls.

Gunheart has a lot of heart, and a lot to offer. The accommodation for players like myself in desktop mode is wonderfully done. Drifter Entertainment sets a standard that a game designed for VR shouldn’t stay exclusively there, and with the right game, can make it so those without can find a place in the game to still play with friends. Gunheart is fun from start to finish, except you won’t be putting it down anytime soon.

We’re in an era of good shooters right now. There’s no reason to buy a mediocre one.
