This and its sequel are just some nice little Mega Man-esque action platformers. The artstyle is appealing in the first place, but looks even better in action.
Beyond a unique, charming art-style, Gunman Clive offers a serviceable albeit remarkably shallow experience: the stages remain of consistently average quality for most of the extremely short campaign with only a few, extremely dull bosses. It offers a nice diversity of enemies, mechanics and platforming twists to keep the gameplay flow decently entertaining, but everything is too streamlined, simplistic and ultimately mediocre to be interesting or exciting in any meaningful way, aggravated by a forgettable soundtrack.
Great aesthetic, pretty reasonable everything else. Big fan of the unlocks you get for beating the game. An interesting example of what the early 3DS eShop was like.
Great little game with fun gameplay and a nice art style. Very playable and worth checking out if you enjoy 2D platformers.
Decent 2D platformer, with a couple wonky hitboxes. Great time killer
Single-handedly sustaining Horberg Productions as one of the like 3 games worth downloading from the 3DS eshop. May it continue to be a bank error in his favor well into the future.
Chill cheap little game.
Joguinho curto e desafiador, ótimo para passar o tempo
Frustrating. But I like the artstyle.
Insipid
Cheap and short action platformer that plays like Megaman but with a different power up system. The visual style is easily the most striking thing about it and gives it a great vibe. Levels and bosses strike a good balance of being challenging enough to not be push overs but not so hard that you'll get frustrated. Also enjoyed the unlockable duck mode in which you have to flap your way through the run and gun levels with no offensive capabilities. Nothing amazing but easy to recommend as a good time for 2 bucks.
Very short and sweet, does what it wants to and not much more. It very clearly took a lot of inspiration from mega man and one mechanic I wish they brought over was the slide. But it’s a cute game with a great post-game bonus
i somehow never beat this when i owned it as a kid but it's a decently fun and short classic megaman inspired platformer with a neat style. not very hard, there are a couple moments that'll trip you up but it shouldnt be too difficult to breeze through in like 30 minutes. theres also other playable characters with different abilities which is nice if you ever want to come back to this and boot it up for a quick replay. iirc this game was also like really cheap on the eshop prior to it getting shut down, like 2 or 3 dollars so there was no reason not to pick it up if you had a couple dollars to spare
Got it on a whim because it was so cheap. And man, this game felt so amazing!
eyyyyyyup pardner it's fuckin decent meg of man
i spent $2 on this its a worth a taco
An action platformer with a a great art style and tight gameplay. Pick this up if you can and give it a shot, pun intended. It’s get 4 stars due to its short length, but still worth the price of admission to be honest.
Meteor level is complete horseshit. Everything else is very good.
Played HD version. Decent short Mega Man homage. Fun theming.
Loved the visual art style it went with, still very short and average 2d side scroller.
i used to speedrun this
gunman clive has a unique art style that ends up being its only differential. mechanics are pretty simple, weapons don't add much variation and the level design is rarely interesting (the train level and the gravity stage are highlights). the game is quite short, the difficulty is well tuned and the boss fights are pretty much old school. in conclusion it doesn't present anything groundbreaking but ends up being a solid short game.
beaten on 3ds; a gorgeous 3ds platformer that’s overall a decent game. not much inherently wrong with it. it’s pretty short and easy but there’s some extra character that i didn’t really care for.
Ta bien
A solid mini-platformer. Outside of the artstyle it's not particularly neat, and it can get frustrating at a few points. For what it is, a decent game.
1. You just don't hear the name Clive enough these days
2. This is a highly enjoyable and well balanced side scroller. I was delighted throughout. Just don't expect reinvention of the wheel.

El apartado grafico es muy bueno, un plataformero divertido.
(Switch version)
Very short and simple, but it's still quite a fun time. Later stages got a little annoying, and the lack of any checkpoints is weird, but again the stages are so short it doesn't matter too much.
Also the graphics look amazing, like d a m n.

Gunman Clive is like a Lidl chocolate bar: not something you've heard of, but recognizable. It's a western run-and-gun game in the style of Mega Man, although not quite as challenging. There are multiple weapons, bosses, and different environments. The jumping mechanics feel similar to Mega Man, where you gain a little upward momentum before the character's weight quickly brings you down. You can play as different characters, two of which play similarly, and one who is completely different. To get back to my analogy from earlier Gunman Clive is short, sweet and cheap even as part of the HD collection on Switch, highly recommended.
Fun game inspired by mega man franchise
