Gunheart

Gunheart is an online co-op RPG shooter in which you and your friends play customizable robotic bounty hunters trying to make money at the edge of the galaxy. You travel across Planet Fortune, fighting the Anthromite menace and taking on other bounty hunters. You can play solo or with others, and the game supports cross-play across desktop (non-VR), Oculus Rift, HTC Vive and Windows MR.

Combat and weapons

You can strafe, teleport and boost-jump across kilometer-long battlefields, using quick movement to reach high ground and attack invaders. The game has 10 weapons to unlock and master. Leveling each weapon unlocks its own perks and additional modification slots; you can combine and dual-wield side arms, or use combo weapons such as the chaingun and bow against larger enemies.

More than 40 weapon modifications let you alter how weapons work. For example, you can add guided rockets and a rapid-reloader to a rocket launcher, then make it fully automatic. The multi-tool can grab physical objects and turn them into improvised weapons: throw explosive barrels like grenades, or pick up nearby creatures and hurl them off cliffs.

Missions and modes

The campaign has 9 missions, alongside 11 challenge missions. They take you through several distinct environments against a variety of enemies and multiple bosses. Elite mode and weekly missions provide further challenges after you have mastered the campaign.

Co-op supports drop-in and drop-out play, with dynamic difficulty. You can start a mission solo or limit it to people on your friends list. Local Play Mode lets you play alone, using the same shared profile as your online game. PvP offers free-for-all and team-based skirmishes against other bounty hunters; kills earn rewards and prestige titles.

Character customization

You can find more than 80 cosmetics, including hats, rig vests and facial expressions, to customize your character and show your achievements. Four social gear items offer other ways to interact: the pixel gun for making pixel art, the balloon gun for celebrations and Mr. Fish for hitting other players.
