Imagine Contra, only less cool.
No, less cool.
Still too cool.
No, even less cool than that.

Yep, now you have Gunforce. A really shitty SNES run-and-gun that scrolls like a snail, where enemies are braindead and might not even face you and were you arsenal is about 3 weapons with one unique weapon per level.

There is one saving grace to Gunforce that makes it, if not better, then at least kind of original and it's vehicles. How are they? Let's do the excercise again: imagine Metal Slug, only so uncool that it physically hurts. There.

​Most of the bosses feel like the first boss from Contra on NES, and the last one even rips off the whole alien theme.

I think it has like 6 levels that all give you a 100 second time limit, so not only is the game quite easy but it's also like 15 minutes long. The enemies can only shoot into one of 8 directions, so as long as you're not on their bullet trajectory nothing can hurt you.

Just play Metal Slug or something.
