Guns’n’Stories Bulletproof is western themed VR shooter set
in alternate realistic take on the Wild West.
The story is told from the perspective of a grandfather, recounting his pseudo
realistic memories of adventures from this past days. The central plot is spread out across 3 acts,
each with 3 sub-chapters and a final boss to defeat at the end. The story is a high point of the game, as it
doesn’t take itself seriously and weaves a tangled narrative of funny scenarios
along the way. Cutscenes are presented
in the cinematic perspective with the player in first person view, seated in a
theater, watching the video on a hovering movie screen in front of them.
The voices of both the grandfather and grandson are heard during gameplay, giving more context of the events of story. Often in comical ways, as you progress along the main campaign.

The game is played using 2 PS Move controllers in each hand simulating
the use of dual firearms. For the most
part each level begins with you taking on wave after wave of enemies using
revolvers in each hand, only be given a much more powerful gun near the middle
of chapter completion. The enhanced weapons
are extremely fun to use as they range from enjoyable overpowered to comically ridiculous
– but in a way. The game can be played
in a standing position or a sitting position.
There is no movement at all, as the player remains in a stationary
position, with enemies approaching either from the right, left or center from entry
points built into each set piece.
Guns’n’Stories features a wide range of enemies from the standard
mindless disposable minions, to the semi-bullet spongy heavy grunts, some “Mexicans”
as pointed out in game and even flying drones. Some enemies are easier than others to
dispatch, with head-shots as expected being incentives.
The graphics are sharp and with detailed textures,
everything is well defined and whilst having a bit of a cartoon-ish aesthetic – the
world also has a somewhat realistic feel to it as well. There are various levels of difficulty which
dramatically ramp up the intensity and challenge. The entire game story line can be completed
within 2 hours, but there is replay value for persons looking trophy hunt or
attempt the bonus objectives.
In conclusion Guns’n’Stories Bulletproof is an enjoyable
western style shooter – with an interesting narrative, scaleable difficulty and intrinsic
replay value. The game is currently
available on the PlayStation Store for $19.99 and at that price you more than
get what you pay for. It’s definite pickup
for persons who are into VR shooters.
