Thanks to the Gear Fanatics in Madfinger Games and the result is the fantastic development of Shadowgun.
Without a doubt this is really an amazing clone and so far this is the closest game to Gear of War that you can find on the iPhone. It seems that Madfingers has managed to develop a Gameloft trick in recreating legal clones of the popular console titles for the iPhone platform and it really show for the get-go.
Shadowgun takes place on the 2350 where you’ll play a mercenary, Slade, given a task to capture a mad scientist, Dr. Edger Simon who has fortified himself in a small planet. The word “Shadowgun” refer to hired guns who work in the shadows for the highest bidder, as they act above and beyond the law as an all rounder baddies.
The mercenary has an android female assistant; you’ll be fighting mutants and robots in your hunt to capture the mad scientist.
The story is not much to shout about but in fact I find it a little unoriginal and that’s what Shadowgun is lacking out, bummer! But I got to give credit for its presentation; it makes up for its beautifully designed game to cater the iPhone! It does have a console-like quality and a lot production works gone to its character and set design. You really feel like you are playing Gear on your smartphone!
Anyhow who care about the story if the game looks and plays like Gears! Am I correct or am I not! But seriously, the sole purpose of Madfinger Games development is to give iPhone gamers the feel and experience of playing their very own Gears on iPhone!
You’ll be hiding behind covers and taking shots at enemies are the bulk of your job here, you have to solve simple puzzles but don’t worry, Madfinger Games has made the puzzles easy to solve to remind in the first place you are here to shoot and kill as many enemies as you can!
And really! There are many enemies to kill. They come in different sizes and shapes and are very well designed. The enemies are smart too, so even on an easy level you will encounter some challenges and that is what you need for this title. In conclusion, no complains on the lack of storyline. Being able to do some massive shooting and killing on an iPhone is more than enough. This is truly some good stuff!
