Gunball: Emperor's Revenge

Gunball: Emperor's Revenge is a game in the Gunball series. It's a fighting game that takes place in a land populated by spherical combat robots called Gunballs that are outfitted with various weapons.

Plot[]

The land of the Gunballs is ruled by a tyrannical Emperor who has issued a challenge: anyone who is able to defeat him in battle can take his place on the throne. With so many loyal followers among his ranks, the Emperor is not worried about losing his position of absolute power; unfortunately for him, though, one small Gunball has accepted the Emperor's challenge and is on his way to destroy the Emperor...

Controls[]

WASD or Arrow Keys: Move the Gunball
Mouse: Aim weapons, click to shoot (if ranged weapons are equipped)
Space Bar: Use Special Skill (if equipped)

Gameplay[]

The game consists of a map full of levels all spread out over a map. The level progression is fairly linear; when you beat a level, all the levels adjacent to that one become available to play in. Each level has you fighting different types of enemy Gunballs that continuously spawn over time until none are left, at which point the level is won. Defeating enemies in a level gives you money and XP, which you can use in the map screen to buy weapons, upgrades, and Special Skills. The shop in particular allows for a very wide variety of setups, as you can sell anything you bought (except for Hulls) for a full refund, and you can store items in inventory spaces in you don't want to equip them right away.

A few of the levels contain Boss Gunballs, which are extremely powerful but give you great rewards when you defeat them - namely special items that can't be found anywhere else in the game. Among these bosses is the Emperor himself, located all the way at the other side of the map. The game is won when you defeat the Emperor; you do NOT have to beat all the levels to win...unless you're the completionist type.
