GunBound is a free-to-play, turn-based, room-to-room, multiplayer online game with many similar features to the popular Worms game series.
GunBound was developed and is maintained by South Korean developer Softnyx. It is currently in its third major release, subtitled Season 2 internationally and called GunBound Revolution in North America with ijji as its host. The first major beta release was Thor's Hammer.
GunBound has a turn-based artillery gameplay, bearing properties of two-dimensional games and ballistics-simulation games. In GunBound, players are assigned to two opposing teams which take turns firing at each other with vehicles called "Mobiles" in GunBound parlance. Each "Mobile" has three unique weapons, labeled "1", "2", and "SS" (Special Shot).
Factors like terrain condition, wind currents and elemental phenomena force players to continuously change their aim and trajectory power setting while rethinking their strategy at the same time. GunBound also implements a 'delay' turn system which is influenced by the Mobile, the weapon and/or item a player uses - using items or taking time with actions results in a longer wait before the player's next turn.
Very fun game that is sure to deprive you of sleep and sunshine for the next million years. Graphics are all 2D, but very stylized. Simple, colorful, and for the most part pleasing visuals add some frosting to a very tasty cake. Controls are wonderful. Granted they take getting used to, but precise controlling is the key to winning matches. Download this now. Without hesitation.
