It's all in the fist.

<span class="bold">A Fistful of Gun</span>, an action shoot'em'up with twisted controls, is available now, DRM-free on GOG.com with a 25% discount.

Fistful. Of. Gun. Wild. West. Explosive. Control motley. Can you keep up? I reckon you might. A Fistful of Gun is all about finding order in chaos, keepin on your toes, and making the best of a bullet-hell situation. A Fistful of Gun is a couch/online co-op shoot'em'up for up to nine players, featuring eleven gun-slingers - and eleven different control schemes, each catered to that particular gentleman's playstyle. Some of the guys are controlled with the finesse of a gamepad, some may need the speed and precision of a mouse, while others are perfectly okay with the clickety-clack of your keyboard. Or any mix thereof.

Ever wonder what a pixely wild-wild-west sounds like? Well, you can also pick up a fist full of Fistful of Gun OST and resolve that one of many life's mysteries.

Grab yerself a fistful of controls and <span class="bold">A Fistful of Gun</span>, available now, DRM-free on GOG.com. The launch discount will last for one week, until Thursday, October 1st, 9:59 AM GMT.

Hmm, nice trailer, indeed. What makes me hesitate is the thing with different contoller types bound to specific characters. I`m used to play pc games with mouse and keyboard.
Never heard of a game that forces me to use different control methods for different characters.

It was more painful when there was only one control method for each type character. Especially after my xbox controller broke. Each one has two different control schemes now so that is less of an issue.

Nice trailer.
How does the singleplayer work in this game?

My flavor-of-the-month game is in ASCII so I hope I have a way with words :P

AFAIK, mouse+keyboard are much better here. I found the gamepad controls a bit janky.

It's a good game overall. Zeke is my bro.

I see a game like this and somehow I miss the old "sharing a keyboard with friends" days.
I mean, buttcheeks close to one another, sweaty fat dudes banging the keys and... I'll stop here! :P

Praise the lord for wireless controllers! :D

inc09nito: Anyway, game looks definitely like my deal. :)
All of their games are my deal.
You know what's crazy? Every damn time you get dem feels that "phew, my wallet's safe now" Devolver comes around with a tasty game. I barely even finished the almighty Dropsy and now they're here once again! Crap!

JudasIscariot: It's because the soundtracks themselves are more than likely done by an independent artist just for that game and probably licensed a lot differently than soundtracks for games back in the day :)
How dare you give a reasonable reason when all we want is complain about how better it was before (that's the problem when a significant part of your customer base is 35+).

nightcraw1er.488: I agree. Each release seems to be pushing the price up. £7.50 for a game I never heard of, from an Indie I never heard, is way too much. Not to mention that the soundtrack is another £1.50, whatever happened to the goodies being part of the purchase, now it seems we have to pay for each component of each release as well. Disappointed.
For the price tag issue, shouldn't it be based on, first, the expected value for money (not only in terms of game length but also depth and fun), and second, on the development costs. The fame of the game or of the developer being the important criteria for you means that EA should really sell its FIFA games close to 250,- € ore more.

That you consider it too expensive to be an insta-buy, fair enough. If the genre interests you but you're not sure, why would you not search the web to find more details and make your own mind.

I know, right? I should resort to demagoguery instead, no? :P

I don't meant that value is tied to publisher, I mean that being a lesser know dev/publisher is more risky. EA we know are likely to push out 50% crap per year, however we have no data on these. The game has some vague interest, and certain other smaller titles - UnEpic and Rogue Legacy, have turned out to be really good and was glad I brought them. I am just more cautious and will wait and see. As for cost, I personally find it too much, with the separate content pack. Have brought most of the stuff released this month, so on this one its too much cost per risk factor at the moment.

Just a reminder for those who might not like surprises - 80 days is slated for the 29th. It's only a few days away which contradicts the name of the game further every day, but hey... time for bed.

Come on devs. Proof-read your marketing stuff.

Hmm, reminds me of Robotron.

Is the Twitch release stream today for this game? I'd like to see it in action a little more than the short clips of gameplay featured in the video on the game card.


Edit: In response to my own question, yes, there was a Twitch stream scheduled for this game; however, Megapieman had some technical difficulties with the game and the stream was changed to the old standby, Blood. They are hoping that another streamer will be able to play the game in the near future...
