In the era of modern, high-definition video games, it’s easy to overlook the charming simplicity and challenge of old-school platformer games. However, one game that has managed to capture the hearts of players young and old is Gunman Clive, developed by Swedish game developer Hörberg Productions.
Gunman Clive was originally released as a mobile game in 2012, followed by a release on Nintendo 3DS in 2013. Its success led to a sequel, Gunman Clive 2, released in 2015, and both games were later ported to various platforms such as Xbox, PlayStation, and PC.
A Classic Western Adventure
The game follows the story of the titular character, Gunman Clive, as he sets out to save the mayor’s daughter from the hands of a notorious group of bandits. The game is set in a classic Western-inspired world, with hand-drawn graphics that pay homage to the golden age of animation.
The gameplay of Gunman Clive is simple yet challenging. Players must traverse through various stages, jumping over obstacles and shooting enemies with their trusty revolver. As the game progresses, players will encounter different types of enemies, such as bandits, dynamite-throwing cowboys, and even giant robots.
One of the unique features of Gunman Clive is the use of different colored hats that grant different abilities to Clive. For example, the white hat gives Clive an extra heart, while the black hat allows him to shoot beams instead of bullets.
A Beloved Classic Among Players
Despite its simple graphics and gameplay, Gunman Clive has garnered a cult following among players for its nostalgic charm and challenging levels. The game has an average rating of 4.5 stars on both the App Store and Google Play Store, with players praising its replay value and intuitive controls.
“Gunman Clive is a fantastic game, seeking inspiration from Mega Man and Super Mario games, but spinning them on [their] heads with delightful art direction, a charming aesthetic, and challenging difficulty,” wrote one reviewer on the App Store.
The Legacy Continues
The success of Gunman Clive has paved the way for its sequel, Gunman Clive 2, which was released to critical acclaim for its improved 3D graphics, challenging boss fights, and new playable characters. Both games have since been bundled together and released on modern platforms, making it accessible to a wider audience.
With its simple yet addictive gameplay, charming graphics, and challenging levels, Gunman Clive has secured its place as a classic platformer game in the hearts of players. And with the recent announcement of a third installment, fans can’t wait to see what adventures Gunman Clive will get on next.
“In a time of 3D and high-end games, Gunman Clive offers some decorum, reminding us that classics never get out of style,” said one reviewer on Steam.
