    Good and funny arcade shooter. If you like Metal Slug or Shoot Many Robots,this game is for you.    … Expand

    Great game with a cool storyline and graphics! Funny quotes and the different levels make it a no brainer for me. Price is in my eyes even too low for what you get! 10/10

    Metal Slug but 10x better, fun gameplay, high entertainment factor. Local Co-Op: great! Recommended for everyone! 9,99$ for a great game with lots of suprises, easter eggs and achievements make it winner success formula!

    Guns, Gore & Cannoli involves all three of those things- and a lot of them. It's a run-and-gun game about a zombie outbreak in the prohibition era.

    It's 1925. Mafia hitman Vinnie Cannoli has come to Thugtown for a job: find Frankie the Fly and bring him to Mr Bellucio. The only problem is, as soon as the ship he booked passage on makes harbor, he finds himself knee deep in a plague of    Guns, Gore & Cannoli involves all three of those things- and a lot of them.

    It's 1925. Mafia hitman Vinnie Cannoli has come to Thugtown for a job: find Frankie the Fly and bring him to Mr Bellucio. The only problem is, as soon as the ship he booked passage on makes harbor, he finds himself knee deep in a plague of the undead! Good thing he's got his trusty .45 on hand.

    The game is fairly simple to play, even by run-and-gun standards. There's no mouse controls at all: You shoot in the direction you're facing, and the only way to adjust your aim is to duck or jump. Thankfully, you have a wide variety of weapons as well as a large stack of grenades and molotovs, which always seem to land precisely where you need them to. Handy, that. You also have a kick, which is useful for when you're getting swarmed by zombies. Most engagements can be approached strategically and without taking uneccessary damage, putting this game a cut above say, Mercenary Kings. Checkpoints are mercifully frequent as are health items, in the form of boxes of fresh cannoli.

    The campaign length is on the short side, at least on normal, but there is the option for up to four-player local coop. In addition, the game has excellent asthetics- hand-drawn graphics, extremely fluid animations and music to suit the setting. It's also extremely gory, if you couldn't tell from the name, enough that some might find it off-putting.

    If you can stomach it though, this is an excellent run-and-gun platformer and well worth the small asking price.    … Expand

    Apart form a couple of pop-culture references and few interesting locations I didn't find anything appalling about the game. it doesn't add anything to the arcade formula. I must say, that the art style doesn't suit me at all and corny phrases of protagonist after some kills are simply annoying. Even though the game poses a challenge, especially on higher difficulties it was hard for me toApart form a couple of pop-culture references and few interesting locations I didn't find anything appalling about the game. it doesn't add anything to the arcade formula.

All in all mediocre game.… Expand

    Mediocre at best. Bad controls, you can only shoot straight, very repetitive gameplay, flat colorless characters, uninteresting story, I gave 5/10 just to appreciate the effort.

    Old fashion shooter with good looks, good vibes and good controls.
    The gameplay is formulaic and the execution is pleasant.
    That's how you make traditional sweets.

    Good artistic section, wide arsenal of weapons, but it can be boring and repetitive when you play it alone. The game wins a lot of fun when you play it with friends locally.

    Guns, Gore and Cannoli might only last a couple of hours, bit it can be picked up for a low price of $9.99, and I’d highly recommend any fan of the genre to check this game out immediately. Godfather + Metal Slug + Zombies = Guns, Gore, and Cannoli.

    If the one-liners and violence spilled by Vinnie showed a bit more innovation, there would be a reason to cheer. It did not happen so all we have is a good game recycling things you can find elsewhere.

    You are looking at a few hours of pure fun. Despite being short, this game is worthy of every minute of your time.
