Gunfire Games

Gunfire Games at a Glance

Gunfire Games is an independent developer based in Austin, Texas that has released 12 titles since its founding in 2014. The company consists of team members who previously worked at Vigil Games on the Darksiders franchise and developed Chronos for the Oculus Rift. Their catalog shows a heavy focus on Adventure games with 11 releases, followed by Role-playing titles at 9 and Shooters at 7. They have published one game as a publisher while developing all 12 titles listed on PlayPile. The studio operates across many platforms but focuses primarily on PC. Eleven of their games are available on Microsoft Windows, while six titles appear on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. Smaller numbers show up on Nintendo Switch with three games and single releases for Google Stadia and Oculus VR hardware. Their output spans from 2016 to 2023 with six games released in the 2010s and five in the 2020s. Quality varies but leans toward positive reception based on their average IGDB rating of 75.3 across five rated titles. Two titles achieved great scores above 80, while three others landed in the good range between 60 and 79. None of their games fall into the mixed or poor categories according to available data. Chronos from 2016 holds an 80 score, and Remnant II released in July 2023 reached 80.1. The original Remnant: From the Ashes came out in 2019 with a 76.5 rating. Darksiders III launched in 2018 with a lower score of 68.3, showing that not every project hits the same high notes as their later work. Recent releases include multiple editions of Remnant II and an updated version of Remnant: From the Ashes in August 2020. The studio seems to have refined its approach over time as the 2020s saw a consistent output of remakes and new entries in their main series. While they started with an adventure RPG for virtual reality, their later work leans heavily into shooter role-playing hybrids on standard consoles and PC. Their portfolio remains relatively small compared to larger publishers, but their consistency in avoiding low-rated releases suggests a stable development process.
