Defeat all enemies in your path and fight bosses in a unique puzzle style. A call back to classic games like Puzz loop and Zuma but thrown into a first-person world. Target recognition, movement and speed are the keys to becoming an excellent Gun Chainer.
Review: At its heart ‘Gun Chain’ is little more than a classic marble popper/match 3 style game, very much like Zuma. But it does have to be said this is probably the best looking marble popper I have seen so far with some of the craziest environments used as arenas. The guns are OK as well, making the game a kind of puzzle/shooter, but there are also times when I hate the guns, especially the sniper rifle which kept sticking in the zoomed mode which was very annoying. Sure, the core gameplay of this game feels OK and it is fun most of the time, but then again it is just a marble shooter and it will get repetitive rather quickly. I got this in a sale for just £2.39 and I was pretty happy, but I might not have felt so satisfied if I had paid the full £4.79 price.
