Gunner 2 PC

Founded by Peter Sokolov, the independent Warlock studio specializes in the production of games addressed to fans of retro style shooting, as exemplified by Gunner 2. The developers' assumptions are to be a modern response to Beach Head and other cult productions from the era of 8 and 16-bit computers.

Gunner 2 allows the player to play the role of a shooter, serving various types of anti-aircraft weapons. The creators prepared a total of 35 missions, divided into three chapters covering the period of World War II, contemporary times and the future. Depending on the era, the types of attacking enemies (e.g. fighter planes, helicopters, jets, spacecraft) and the available weaponry change.

In most missions, the player's task is to defend the ground base against enemy raids. The only exception are the scenarios from the Xmas package in which the cannon service on board the bomber has to be taken care of.

The game is characterized by exceptional simplicity. The player must direct artillery fire at enemy units before they come close enough to damage or destroy their base. As the game progresses, the level of difficulty increases. There are also new types of opponents (there are 19 of them in total), requiring the use of different types of weapons (e.g. rockets or plasma cannons).

Gunner 2 graphic design stands out from modern gaming standards and clearly indicates the low-cost nature of production. However, this does not prevent you from enjoying the pleasure of eliminating further waves of enemies, which in this case is the essence of fun.
