About this game

Is this game for me?

If you are looking for a pocket sized but highly replayable turn-based tactics game with a unique core mechanic, Guncho is for you.

A full run of Guncho can be played in about 30 minutes, featuring the “Burning Desert” biome, with various enemy types and a fierce end-boss.

We're three self-funded independent game creators—Arnold, Terri, and Sam—and we have many ideas on how to expand Guncho further post launch, with your support.

About the Game

Guncho's core mechanic is based on a unique shooting mechanic. By moving, shooting, and unloading bullets, you influence Guncho's revolver cylinder rotation. To outwit your enemies, align your bullets with the hex-grid through clever tactical moves.



You can also use the environment to overcome the challenges of each level by targeting explosive barrels or pushing your foes into fire or deadly cacti.



After each level, choose from a variety of bullet upgrades and skills to further improve your tactical abilities. In each run, you face a final boss that will test your skills and tactical finesse.

• Unique positional shooting mechanic.
  
• Turn-based Wild West roguelike shootouts.
  
• Hex-based tactics gameplay.
  
• Randomly generated levels.
  
• A variety of enemy types, with different movement and skill sets.
  
• Easy and Expert game modes.
  
• Daily game challenge.
  
• Unlocks and Achievements.
  
• Steam Cloud saves.
