Summary

Gun Monkeys is a Procedurally–Generated, Physics-based, Online Deathmatch platform game from multi award-winning indie dev Size Five Games.

In Gun Monkeys, you'll take charge of a modern-day power company. In the distant future, a catastrophic experiment into Perpetual Energy obliterates all human life, leaving the world choc-full of free-for-the-taking energy, but unpleasantly lacking in people to take advantage of it. Your job as CEO is to send a legion of pleasingly-expendable monkeys forwards in time to collect Power Cubes and return them to present-day, all from the comfort of your PC.

Gun Monkeys, isn't yourWhen i picked up this game during a weekend deal on steam for 3 dollars, little did i know what a treat i was in for. Gun Monkeys, isn't your usual combat arena" kill em' all! type of game. It's that, and much more. Although you, do initially try to kill your fellow opponents, there is also a keen sense of strategy involved. With each shot, bomb, or new life you take, energy from your supply starts running out, forcing you to have to be careful about your sots while gathering energy, while at the same time keeping your opponent from getting theirs. Don't run to buy this game expecting a typical, arena experience. If you're looking for a zany, strategic twist on the genre, or even curious about the game, i would highly recommend Gun Monkeys.

If you can find a steady stream of people to play against, you'll discover Gun Monkeys to be tremendous, if rather basic, fun.

Gun Monkeys was a very pleasant surprise for me as i wasn't sure if i would like it or not having watched several videos on it on youtube, andGun Monkeys was a very pleasant surprise for me as i wasn't sure if i would like it or not having watched several videos on it on youtube, and all of the videos said that the game was great and that the one problem with it is that it's online was very buggy, so i posted a discussion on steam asking about the game and for pretty much all of the responses were positive and saying that the online was fixed then i got a coupon and bought it, honestly, i wish i had spent full price on this game as it fully deserves it!And the gameplay? well, it's fast, intense and incredibly fun with different stages every time and the tide of the battle can turn very easily as different weapon drops and power ups appear randomly around the map and you also have an extremely powerful bomb at your disposal which is extremely satisfying to blow up your enemy with but is equally lethal to you!The goal is to try and defeat your opponent by collecting energy cubes and bringing them back to your base and you win if the other players energy cube counter ticks down to zero and to the victor go the spoils as you get rewarded with tons of money that you can spend on cool perks such as upgrades to weapons or getting faster, more health etc.Now for the problems I've had and well, they're few and far between, i have had one bug were my character vanished and the dev was incredibly helpful on that one but even then it only happened once the other 2 problems are no fault of the game, which are there are an awful lot of people idling in the lobby and a lot of people who think the goal is to try and blow each others brains out and are no fun to fight at all.My Verdict: 10/10+ fast, tense and overall very fun+ some pretty cool power up and weapon drops+ unique gameplay not done before (to my knowledge)+ never really gets repetitive with the randomly generated maps.+ cool perks to buy+ not to mention the devs are awesome and always willing to help- some bugs- at times the community is a bit frustrating

Matches are brisk, varied and tense, but you might face a long wait to get one. An idle mode allows you to browse the internet or check emails until a challenge arrives, but alerts are sadly infrequent. Local play is a fine substitute if you have a willing partner, but Gun Monkeys is a two-player game too often lacking a player two.
