Gun Master is a game so obscure it's not even listed on KLOV, which is a shame as it's a fun and unique mashup of Gunstar Heroes and the Mega Man arcade games. Playing as either a male or female gunslinger, you must defeat a whole host of weird bosses in order to defeat the fascist empire which has burned your hometown to the ground. Or, uh, something like that. The bosses all live in small, enclosed stages, and not only have a host of special moves, but also whole armies of henchmen. The controls only use two action buttons, but allow you to guard, punch, throw, shoot, and do all sorts of special moves. It's a bit tricky and awkward at time, but not overly unfair. The graphics are charmingly Treasure-esque, especially considering they come from such a small developer. Nothing to push the technical envelope, but they do the job. Overall, Gunmaster is a shamefully overlooked gem, and makes me curious to expore developer Metro's output in future updates.
