Gunfire Games Documentary

Along with the Darksiders Documentary, Gameumentary created a piece focused on Gunfire Games!  Check it out here!

In the third and final part of our Vigil Games series we explore the beginnings of Gunfire Games and their journey to becoming an independent developer in control of their own future. We explore multiple Gunfire Games titles' including: Chronos, From Other Suns and how Darksiders III is building upon the foundation built by the first two entries in the series.

From Other Suns

We're back after an exciting week at GDC showing off our latest game; From Other Suns!  So far the impressions from the press have been glowing!  Here's some of the latest press about the game's reveal!

 

"The new VR title from Gunfire Games From Other Suns, was described to me as the 3D (and VR) version of Subet Games’ 2012 title FTL, which had you manage a spaceship as it endured events such as alien invasions and constant maintenance on its spacefaring trip. I didn’t get to see the many similarities (although I was told about them), but From Other Suns impressed me in another way--through its shooting experience." -  Tom's Hardware

"From Other Suns is a huge, open-universe space adventure game with countless procedurally generated environments to explore." - Engadget

"Once they got too close I switched to the shotgun and blasted their heads off. It felt extremely satisfying, especially with full locomotion." - UploadVR

"The pace of From Other Suns is a little slower and more deliberate than some VR FPS games out there, but that’s intentional. Not only because one mistake could cost you the irreversible death of a critical crew member, but because the game—though thematically sci-fi—plays much like a dungeon crawler." - Road to VR

Chronos: Game Informer's VR Game of the Year!

"Few VR launch titles rose above the rank of glorified tech demo, which is why we were so impressed with Chronos. Gunfire Games concocted a clever blend of Zelda and Dark Souls that would've been impressive in its own right, but the expert implementation of virtual reality transformed Chronos into a uniquely immersive dungeon crawl. Chronos is a great early blueprint for what VR games should be." - Game Informer

Dead and Buried Now Available!

We're excited to announce Dead and Buried is now available on the Oculus Rift.  We've been working hard with the Oculus Dev Studio to bring this game to life!  For more info check out our Dead and Buried page!

"You honestly feel like a skilled marksman when you’re able to bait your opponent into showing his face just to blast it into the after, after-life with a well timed shot. Being required to physically hide from opposing fire also makes defense feel more immersive in this game than in any traditional 2D shooter." - UploadVR

More Chronos Reviews!

Chronos reviews have been slowly trickling in over the last few weeks, and some of the heavy hitters have finally weighed in on it!  We're sitting at a solid 81 on Metacritic

Here's some new choice quotes with links to the full reviews!

"I still can't believe Gunfire Games completed Chronos in time for launch of Oculus. It's an engaging game that took me about 20 hours to finish. It travels to far lands, features challenging bosses, and does an impressive job of showing that, even from a third-person perspective, games in VR can transport you to another world. Chronos made a believer out of me, and I can't wait to see what this studio does next." - Game Informer

"Fighting my way through that labyrinth kept me enraptured for 15 hours, and by the end all I really wanted was more. Chronos keeps things intentionally tight, with only a few weapons to find and upgrade and very little in the way of NPCs to interact with, but it’s still the longest, meatiest game made for VR that I’ve played. By the end I still enjoyed its combat and exploration, but yearned for a bolder, more complex RPG in the exact same vein. It’s a rare thing for me to be halfway through a game and already excited to play a sequel." - PC Gamer

"It’d be worth playing regardless of the hardware it’s tied to, but the sense of presence the Oculus Rift allows you to have inside of Chronos’ varied dimensions is something I definitely recommend you feel for yourself." - IGN

"It's a highly-rewarding game that proves you can leverage VR to enhance traditional games, but Chronos doesn't use it as a crutch; it stands tall all on its own." - Gamespot
