Showgunners is a strategy game featuring turn-based combat. The player participates in a gruesome futuristic reality show, fighting psychopathic hunters on arenas filled with traps and dangers.
Showgunners is a strategy game revolving around tactical turn-based combat. It was developed by the Polish studio Artificer, founded by Kacper Szymczak, the main designer of Phantom Doctrine and Hard West.
The game is set in a grim imagining of the future, one of its most popular pastimes being a brutal reality show, the participants of which must survive a hunt by hired mercenaries.
The game's main character is Scarlett Martillo. She joins the competition to exact revenge on those associated with the show.
Showgunners is a tactical game revolving around battles taking place in closed arenas. The gameplay is turn-based, with use of cover and the environment being crucial.
Over time, Scarlett manages to recruit some allies to her team. All characters have unique abilities we can develop. Equipping them with progressively better weaponry and gear is also very important. Each map features optional bonus objective, completing which unlocks additional equipment and characters.
The arenas are filled with dangers, traps but also possible advantages to exploit. The game is made more diverse thanks to the AI director, who can make our lives easier or more difficult depending on how the battle's going.
Winning encounters grants us fame, which results in more money and more generous sponsors providing unique benefits.
The game only supports singleplayer.
Showgunners features appealing 3D visuals viewed from isometric camera angles, their main strengths being the imaginative character and location designs.

Game Ratings for Showgunners Video Game.
Metro GameCentral: 6 / 10
A pared back turn-based strategy that successfully replicates the action of XCOM but is so lacking in originality and variety it feels like half the game it could have been.
RageQuit.GR: 77 / 100 by Alexandros Gekas
An interesting turn-based tactical game that doesn't innovate but is an honest proposition for fans of the genre.
GamesCreed: 5 / 5 by Rexifirus Nightshade
Showgunners is showing massive potential to shake things up in the turn-based strategy genre while maintaining a great story to keep you coming back. You’ll be made to think on your toes and sometimes outside the box, though this is also what makes it such a great game. The voice acting, visuals and general challenges in Showgunners pull it all together for a game that can appeal to everybody, making it well worth the time.
