Wildcat Gun Machine is a twin-stick shooter for the Nintendo Switch. It can also be filed neatly under the “bullet hell” category since this is a game that

Wildcat Gun Machine is an interesting take on roguelike and bullet hell games, but the roguelike aspects feel a bit lacking, especially the story. The game looks and sounds great, but a lot of the time I kind of felt like I was just going room to room, fighting enemies, and then going back to the checkpoint, which mitigates a bit of the challenge. Still, Wildcat Gun Machine is enjoyable, but if you're specifically looking for a roguelike game to keep you busy, you might find things a bit lacking here.

If you’re drawn in by the art style, chances are you’ll have some fun with Wildcat Gun Machine. Fans of the twin-stick shooter genre might want to check it out, too.

You can’t overlook the importance of escapism and the enjoyment th...

Wildcat Gun Machine is the valiant debut effort by Brisbane-based developer Chunkybox Games, bringing a visceral, demon-slaying bullet-hell experience. With its rad techno soundtrack and grotesque enemy designs, it has a lot going for it, however the lack of narrative context to motivate the player and shallow, limited gameplay holds it back from the excellent experience it might have been.

While Wildcat Gun Machine sounds like the name of a metal band you'd expect to be an opening act for Ozzfest, it's actually a chaotic bite-sized shooter that feels as if the developers of Cat Quest took their turn at creating the next Doom. With lasers, monsters, and a healthy stock of cat lives, Wi
