Diehard GameFAN: Gunman Clive Review

DHGF: Gunman Clive is an interesting platformer that justifies its lack of plot and significant depth with an amazing presentation, some strong level design, a lot of charm and a very low asking price, making it easy to recommend. The game, in all fairness, lacks any sort of plot to speak of, can be completed in an hour or so, and isn’t terribly deep in the options it offers, but for two dollars this is generally forgivable. What the game does do is present itself in an artistically interesting fashion visually and aurally, play quite well, borrow elements from various eighties and nineties platformers in a way that makes them feel fresh and new again, and offer enough gameplay options to more than justify the asking price. Gunman Clive is a game that anyone who enjoys platformers should be downloading as soon as they get the chance, as it’s fun, pleasant to the eyes and ears, and incredibly inexpensive, all of which make it easy to recommend unless you hate platformers or something. -
