About Gunmetal Gothic
Gunmetal Gothic is a co-op shooter-RPG with a retro-3D visual style developed by ynoham and released on December 31, 2026. Set in the dystopian city of Vestige, it pits players against demonic machines in a campaign to reclaim the metropolis. The game blends action shooting with character progression systems, letting you tweak skills and gear for varied playstyles. Available on PC, it supports single-player and co-op modes, with an emphasis on team-based combat. The indie title leans into 90s-era aesthetics while offering modern RPG depth. It’s a pick-up-and-play title for groups or solo adventures seeking grind-focused action.
Gameplay
Gunmetal Gothic tasks you with completing mission-based objectives in a grid-like city map. Combat mixes real-time shooting with turn-based skill allocation, requiring you to balance ammo, health, and cooldowns. Each session involves recruiting allies, choosing starting gear, and tackling waves of mechanical enemies. Multiplayer co-op is central, with party members sharing XP and resources. Missions range from base clearing to stealthy sabotage, often ending in boss fights with unique mechanics. The retro-3D look gives the game a pixelated, low-poly feel, while controls prioritize responsiveness over realism. Customization is key, players can specialize in melee, long-range, or support roles.
What Players Think
PlayPile’s data shows Gunmetal Gothic holds a 4.2/5 rating with 85% critic score. Community moods are split: 45% "excited," 30% "nostalgic," and 15% "frustrated." Average playtime is 22 hours, with 68% of players completing the main story. Achievement completion sits at 78% (120 total), though some note repetitive side quests slow progress. Reviews praise the "colorful cast of allies" and "tight gunplay" but critique the "grind can feel monotonous." Multiplayer lobbies are active, with 60% of players logging sessions over 3+ hours. The retro aesthetic draws comparisons to mid-2000s indie hits, though 25% of critics call it "derivative."
PlayPile's Take
Gunmetal Gothic is a solid pick for $39.99 if you enjoy co-op shooters with RPG progression. The 120 achievements offer replay value, but expect a grind-heavy experience. It’s best suited for groups or solo players who don’t mind repetitive side tasks. While the retro vibe and combat feel nostalgic, the lack of innovation in world-building holds it back. Don’t play it if you prefer story-driven experiences or open-world exploration. Worth buying for its multiplayer synergy and retro charm, but not a must-play for most RPG fans.
