Uragun

Parents need to know that Uragun is an upcoming downloadable single-player third-person shooter available for Windows PC. Booting up with little to no memory of its past -- and its weapons and other functions disabled -- a lone mech (robot) awakens and only knows that its human pilot is gone, as is the rest of humanity. Corrupted AI robots have seemingly taken control of the world, and the mech must go on a journey spanning entire continents in order to discover the cause and effects of the Pulse, the event that put the robots into power. Alongside a friendly AI, known as Ola, the mech will slowly regain its full arsenal of weapons, blasting through any rogue robots that dare stand in the way. Uragun is a top-down shooter and welcome throwback to the arcade games of the past. The mech has a primary weapon, secondary weapon, a boost that can quickly get it out of trouble, and Heat Attacks -- special attacks that deal massive amounts of damage. What initially seems like a simple, yet fun game reveals itself to be a challenging, heart-racing trial by fire. As the player's options open up with plasma discs, shotguns, railguns, and grenades, the number of enemies grows, as does their power. Players will need to use their boost to cross over gaps and avoid environmental hazards such as fire, as well as zip away from enemies' attacks before blowing them away with their incredible host of powers and abilities. The game also allows players to customize their loadout before entering a mission, offering total freedom to switch weapons, Heat Attacks, and various modifications to their armaments. Before entering a mission, players are explicitly told what rewards they'll receive upon completing it. Within a mission, the game throws a few variants at players as they travel along many varied locations, be it the deserted roads of Barcelona or a futuristic Hong Kong. Some areas require players to simply destroy everything they see until there are no more enemies, while other areas may require players to find fuses to open new areas -- or protect a hacking robot while it works to unlock nearby doors. The game keeps things interesting by constantly giving players new objectives, such as overloading a generator to destroying massive control towers to beating bosses and taking one of their abilities to add to your arsenal. While the main mech players control during the game will destroy legions of robots, there's no blood, gore, or inappropriate language or imagery.
