Showgunners (2023) | Gameplay Review (PC)
The Good:
* Solid turn-based combat
* Combines combat and exploration elements
* Great voice acting, nice cutscenes
* Compelling story
The Bad:
Progression system is a bit shallow
Animations could be more varied
Conclusion:
Showgunners doesn’t try to be XCOM, but it has moments where it’s slightly better than the game that started a genre. The game smartly combines turn-based combat and exploration elements to offer players a fresh take on a traditional formular. I didn’t play Showgunners like XCOM and had a lot of fun.
Even if most of the mechanics are basic, including the progression system which isn’t very deep, Showgunners still has a lot to offer in terms of tactical combat. The fact that it also has a compelling story it’s just a bonus. Unfortunately, replay value is almost zero, but this is a 12–15-hour game, so you’ll get enough entertainment for the price you pay.
Although it doesn’t reinvent the wheel, Showgunners adds its own twist on the formula, and I think it works pretty well. If you’re an XCOM fan, this is a no-brainer.
