MOTHERGUNSHIP Gun Customization Demo – Early Impressions

MOTHERGUNSHIP is absolutely shaping up to be one bad ass game. On May 24th fans will have the opportunity to test out their gun crafting abilities with a shiny new demo available on PC, PS4 and Xbox One.

In the demo you are simply tasked with crafting a weapon and going through various rooms on one of the resistance ships, taking out waves of baddies with your prized creations. Though the premise is simple, enough the possibilities are endless. Players earn coins during each extermination and use those to purchase the parts. Each time you clear a room anything you’ve purchased previously will be available again to help them create infinitely different weapons each time you play.

The key to crafting the perfect weapon seems to lie in the connectors. You need connectors to continue building out your weapon. You can put any piece anywhere as long as you can fit it in the physical space and there is an available connector for you to pop the piece onto. The connectors enable you to extend your weapon in basically any direction.

You’ll want to play through the demo multiple times to explore different combos that work for you. And since death means nothing here, you can find the perfect fit for your style of game play with little to no risk. The one other thing to keep in mind is how much energy each part will use up when attached to your gun. The more energy it uses, the shorter your firing bursts can be and the longer you’ll have to wait between rounds.

One of my personal favorite combos involved 2 pulse boxes, one vertical and one horizontal. This caused a cross like pulse to shoot out extended fire power in both directions, plus it just looks cool.

We had a chance to preview MOTHERGUNSHIP at PSX 2017, you can check out the full preview here. Keep checking back here at Handsome Phantom for more news and the eventual final review of the game.
