From The HipMen are on a roll when it comes to covering new indie titles for the Xbox One. They have provided us with hours of entertainment through previews of the most exciting indie games. Today, Greg and Lee play the Minecraft-like shooter Gunscape.
What makes Gunscape different from typical first-person games is that the players create the gameplay. Inspired by the first-person shooters of the past that we loved, we’re taking all the most memorable elements and putting them in a toolkit to be used and combined however you want. At its heart, Gunscape is an FPS construction kit. It’s a game that lets you go wild with your creativity in a pumping action sandbox! Gunscape does this by providing easy-to-use tools based on a block-placement interface everybody’s already familiar with to create single-player campaigns, co-op maps and multiplayer arenas and the functionality to share your creations with your friends. Don’t like building stuff and just want to blast your way through hordes of monsters or duel with other players? Maps can also be shared, played and voted on by the whole world, so you’ll always have new levels at your fingertips!
