Gatling Gears does what many video games today fail to do, it squarely hits the mark on all fronts ... GAME PLAY, GRAPHICS, SOUND, & REPLAY VALUE. From the moment you open this DUAL STICK shooter, you will be hooked.

You will navigate lush environments with the left stick and shoot in any direction with the right stick.

But unlike many shooters, it is not impossible, there is a good balance here, not too easy, not too hard. As you journey through each stage in the 3/4 overhead perspective, your walking mech can pick up between one and three bars of gold. This gold is then used in the shop located at the beginning of each level to upgrade your lasers, rockets, grenades, and shields. You are not locked into your choices of upgrades once you buy them because at the start of each level you can change things up.
