MOTHERGUNSHIP Stream Recap and Impressions

Jason Love

I'll be honest, the game doesn't leave one with the best first impression. The tutorial mission and its mandatory boss fight may serve as a functional introduction to the underlying mechanics and action, but they definitely don't highlight the best parts of the game or just how crazy things can get after you sink your teeth into it for a bit. Once you get over the initial power trip of "I'M GOING TO MAKE A GUN THAT SHOOTS GUNS AND ALSO ROCKETS," there are a lot of interesting things you can do with the tools at your disposal. For instance, is gravity being a real drag and pulling down the shots of your heavy guns? Slap an anti-grav mod on that puppy and show Isaac Newton what you think of his laws.

Co-Op Has Been Patched Into MOTHERGUNSHIP For All Versions

The biggest part of the update was adding the promised two player online co-op mode to the game. Now you and a friend can team up to play through the campaign together using your custom-crafted weaponry. Should one player fall in combat, they'll turn into a turret on the other player's back, so the co-op goodness can continue. The update also added a few new enemies, some new room layouts (the levels are all randomly generated each time you do a "run"), and a handful of other balances/tweaks.

Co-Op Delayed For PC Version of MOTHERGUNSHIP

Developer Terrible Posture Games announced via their development blog that implementing co-op into MOTHERGUNSHIP was one of their big goals as it was a highly requested feature for their previous title, Tower of Guns. Ultimately, though, they were faced with a choice: delay the launch to get the co-op right, or pull it and release it later? Considering they were already planning on patching it into consoles after launch, doing the same for the PC just made sense. The good news here is that the online co-op mode will be added to PC and consoles at (roughly) the same time, and it will also be a free update.

Craft Your Own Guns in MOTHERGUNSHIP Next Month

Rather than provide you with the old reliables of a shotgun, rocket launcher, and something that shoots green balls of plasma, MOTHERGUNSHIP says "why not make your own weapon to take down the alien menace?" Want a lightning shotgun welded onto a chain gun? Go ahead! How about a gun that's just 12 rocket launchers? Go nuts! The game let's players design and use weapons of their making as they battle through the aliens and try to make their way to the titular MOTHERGUNSHIP that's at the heart of the invasion.
