Release Date: January 20, 2015
A platform game that continues the story of the gunslinger named Clive. After saving the daughter of Mayor Johnson, the protagonist returns to his hometown, which in the meantime was attacked by bandits. Without thinking too much, Clive begins chasing the leader of the villains, as capturing him is the only way to save his home.
Gunman Clive 2 is a sequel to the original arcade and platform game, which appeared in 2012 on Nintendo 3DS consoles, PC/Mac computers and mobile devices. The production is the work of a one-man, independent studio Hörberg Productions from Sweden.
After rescuing the mayor's daughter Johnson, the sympathetic revolver Clive returns to his home town, discovering that his city is terrorised by dangerous bandits. In order to stop criminals once and for all, our protoplasta chases the leader of the band. However, he does not suppose that this chase will turn into a murderous escapade around the world. During it, he will have to run around collapsing buildings, jump between ships on the rough ocean, or take a ride on the back of a panda teddy bear.
The second part of the game is maintained in a similar formula as its predecessor, although the author has introduced a number of improvements - both in terms of the game itself, as well as the binding of the title. What attracts attention is the much greater variety of levels in which we control not only Clive himself, but also three other characters with different skills. The gameplay is made difficult by slightly stronger bosses, on which we come across much more often than in the original.
In terms of binding, the graphics are clearly improved, much more colorful than in the first part of the game. During gameplay, in addition to the classic two-dimensional platform levels, there are also numerous 3D sequences that take advantage of the capabilities of the console's stereoscopic screen. In both 2D and 3D mode, the game runs smoothly at 60 frames per second.

Game Ratings for Gunman Clive 2 Video Game.
Game Informer: 8 / 10 by Kyle Hilliard
The gameplay will be familiar to fans of NES platformers, but there are plenty of surprises thanks to its shifting themes and levels
Cubed3: 9 / 10 by Lex Firth
Two years ago, Cubed3 described Gunman Clive as "a stunning masterpiece of a platform game". Gunman Clive 2 is no different. The scale may have expanded, but the gameplay remains pure and focused. New mechanics are all fantastic and the platforming itself is tight, solid and satisfying. It may be short, but it means that all the fat has been trimmed to produce an unmatched experience that can (and should) be enjoyed by every 3DS owner.
NintendoWorldReport: 9 / 10 by Neal Ronaghan
Gunman Clive 2 doesn't last long, as the initial playthrough takes less than two hours, but it's such a consistent, entertaining ride that length isn't a major issue. It feels like a full experience and the end only left me wanting more. Gunman Clive 2 is a fantastic 2D platformer that improves upon the original in just about every single way.
