    at the moment of writing i wont recommend it. the game looks nice, plays okay, music good, the guns feels lack luster no idea if i hit or not gluck gluck thats about it. just collecting keys till you have all of them and move on. i have no clue what i am doing so maybe that is my fault. bullet hell not really everything so far is on the easier side. well it is relaxing. arrows or something so u can see where the enemies are outside of your vision. had already enemies stuck behind a wall and…

    Severely declawed A wildcat cartridge, often shortened to wildcat, is a custom cartridge for which ammunition and/or firearms are not mass-produced. These cartridges are often created in order to optimize a certain performance characteristic (such as the power, size, or efficiency) of an existing commercial cartridge. —Wikipedia Usually, I’d start a review by waxing lyrical about the weird things on offer and how they made me feel. I won't this time because, as much as it is a nonstop frenzy…

    omg, instant buyer's remorse. twinstick shooters should have tight responsive controls, period. this game's controls are loose & floaty & the dungeon design is uninspired (think original Doom but all the rooms are rectangles). the only good thing here are the brief gunmachine moments and the character art is quality stuff. but everything else sucks. this game sucks. avoid.

    You can take my low playtime as a sign to not trust my opinion if you like.. or you can trust that it doesn't take long to tell that the basics of some games just don't FEEL good.. and if the basics are bad, it's gonna permeate through the whole thing. Kudos to the art department for making enemies and environments that look pretty cool.. but the gameplay just feels so lackluster, I can't honestly think of a reason a steam user should spend money and time on this when this genre is chock…

    Weapons are very bland and never really feel powerful. Environments have very little detail which doesn't help back-tracking to past areas. The enemies are all quite similar too, having a broad variety of these would help the game feel less repetitive.

    Super clunky controls, boring repetitive environments, flash game era graphics. Save yourself some money and get a good twin stick shooter like binding of Isaac.

    Really enjoyed this game! The areas where this game really shines is in the art style and the boss fights. The difficulty curve gets pretty steep in the later levels, but the feeling of clearing a room and being able to progress, or, killing a boss is pretty great. If you're a fan of twin stick shooters and bullet hell games, i'd say give it a go (Act 2 is where things start getting a little tricky).

    I had a hard time enjoying this game, though i do think it is well made and beautiful. The issue I found is that the game is made for a specific type of person, the type that chooses the rogue character in RPG's. The type of character that enjoys waiting for critical hits rather than being overall powerful. specifically the only time you feel powerful in the game is when using the rare gun machine ability, which is charged every 3 minutes or so. that is also the only real power progression, as…

    I don't like bullet hell games, and I don't usually play them. Wildcat Gun Machine is an exception. I saw the badass female character and wanted to try it. It is safe to say that this is one of the most forgiving bullet hell games I've ever played. I'm not expert at this genre. If I can beat this game under 5 hours, I'm sure everyone can. First of all, the art style is fantastic. Just look at the screenshots on the store page, and you'll know what I mean. Every enemy is unique and different…

    This is a decent twin stick shooter. It's fun while it lasts but it is short. For 3-5 hours of gameplay it's worth a look. It kinda has a Hades aesthetic without the deep gameplay, lore and replayability.

    A small, fine twin-stick shooter. The game has a good progression system, but more importantly, buttery smooth controls. Very nice with a game controller.

    Its boring with no real goals or progression in the game. the enemies types doesnt fit the game and their super repetitive. Th enviroment is boring with no real landmarks. It feels like a cash grab game!

    Heya folks, I've just completed Wildcat Gun Machine by Chunkybox Games and Daedalic Entertainment. So, this game would have been close to impossible to beat if I weren't using cheats. Act 5 in particular is extremely brutal. #wildcatgunmachine #videogames #indiegames #bullethell

    I am really sorry, but i can not recomend this game. I played enter the gungeon a lot and compared to this game it is bad. The music is awful. The variety of the enemys and the movement are sad. There is no real variety in the guns and the level design. The 3-4 times i died, it was because i got stuck at something and couldnt move anymore. There is no explanation, no dialog, no story behind wildcat gun mashine. you just run through tube levels kill the same enemys with the same guns over and…

    Simplistic and kinda repetitive, but quite fun and visually pleasing. If you into this genre and good at it, the game will also be quite short without any reason to play again after full completion.

    An very enjoyable bullet hell with a good variety of weapons and enemies. The gameplay is fast, satisfying and never overstays its welcome. The game keeps things relatively focused and avoids unnecessary padding, making it a very pleasant experience despite its simplicity. 100% steam achievements Time : 18.8H Completion Difficulty : 3/10 Playthroughs : 1 Missables : None Notable requirements : complete the game.

    Pretty fun twin stick shooter. Art and animation are top notch and worthy of praise. Seriously. Gunplay is satisfying with a good variety of guns. Good enemy variety and were fun. Music is sick and goes hard especially towards the end of the game. While it is sort of true what some reviewers say about the level design being largely square; it didn't bother me personally. Some rooms are sparse so you have to kite enemies, others have obstacles that you can hide behind like a cover-shooter, and…

    Wildcat Gun Machine is a lively twin-stick shooter that throws players into a bizarre world of demonic creatures, enormous machines, dangerous dungeons, and an almost comical amount of firepower. Developed by Chunkybox Games and published by Daedalic Entertainment, the game focuses heavily on fast movement, precise shooting, enemy pattern recognition, and surviving increasingly crowded encounters. Rather than building its identity around an elaborate narrative, it concentrates on immediate…

    Oh god this game is bad. They tried to rip off gungeon but just copy and pasted content over 3 acts. Most of the enemies and bosses are samey. A roguelite amateur can probably beat this in a single run. And god help you if you need to do a re-run because this game is boooring for a twin stick, fast paced game. There are lots of quirks that will lead to unnecessary damage ticks, like getting stuck on doorways. Oh yeah, and no invincibility window on hit, yet you can easily get multi hit to…

    Tried Wildcat Gun Machine afterwards cuz I got it on sale and after 90 minutes I deleted it. I love roguelikes so much but they've definitely pushed a style of game where it advertises so much variety in weapons and it's just 'how fast gun shoot' was bored to tears.

    Figure Bug Butcher but top down 3D instead of side scroll. Good game, great graphics, and no lag what so ever. Especially with the final fight of swapping between light and dark setting (will find out once you get there, not spoiling anything). Love the free choice of unlocking what weapons suits us best. Personally I always went for larger shots and piercing bullets. Just sucks once you reach final boss, I can't find any means of going back to unlock all guns. Simply stuck with a checkpoint…
