If you enjoy Android games with gorgeous graphics, console-like presentation, and action oriented gameplay, you are in for a treat. That is because the creators of the visually impressive Samurai II: Vengeance,  has released the long anticipated  games, third person shooter, Shadowgun. It’s a fast and furious shooter with some of the most drop dead gorgeous graphics I’ve seen on the Android , powered by the Unity Engine.

Shadow Gun is a third-person shooter with a focus on “tactical action.” You’ll play as the grizzled bounty hunter John Slade in the bombed-out, future world of 2350. The task is to find and “hunt down” a geneticist who must have done something vile to warrant having such a large man on his tail.

The gameplay is simple but engaging. You automatically move into cover by running into it. The cover system is easy to use and avoids any hassle, but it’s also very limited, and only very specific objects will work as cover. It should also be noted that lots of cover is destructible, and will leave you vulnerable after a few seconds of fire. Most enemies are idiots who either make extremely predictable movements or just stand out in the open, waiting politely for your bullets to rip them apart. Missions are all very linear, taking you from firefight to firefight, but they’re broken up by some very interesting boss encounters. Some of the checkpoints are very badly placed, causing you to fight through several minutes of game play to get back to whatever killed you in the first place. Each level is littered with hidden secret items, which translate to unlockable extras. As far as I can tell, almost every extra just explains various people, places, and things having to do with this universe.
