Dee Dee Creations LLC and Maximum Entertainment bring us Squirrel with a Gun. This crazy open world game in which we are a squirrel who will be responsible for creating chaos with different weapons.
In Squirrel with a Gun, we have a fun video game that allows us to wreak havoc with a squirrel capable of using different game weapons (pistol, shotgun, flamethrower…) all for a few acorns which will be necessary to unlock areas, obtaining new weapons and outfits to show off. For fans of the physical format, we have the opportunity to purchase the disc version thanks to Meridiem Games.
Run, jump and shoot
Have you ever thought about what a squirrel can do with a gun? Well, it’s time to find out in this 3rd person shooter platform game in which we will have to save our own lives to survive blow by blow against whoever stands in front of us, all with a very humorous tone. To do this we will have to achieve a series of objectives, which will allow us to access new areas and obtain new items by reaching a specific number of acorns, so we will have to walk the streets and look at every corner of the houses of others. to achieve our goal.
Run, climb and hide This will be our main action as a squirrel in a neighborhood where we are not well received either by the neighbors and of course not by the men in suits who want to destroy us. Exploration will be an important point to obtain these necessary acorns, so looking in each hedge will be important, although from time to time stealing from the neighbors in their garden is not bad at all since they will give us acorns.
The combat is mainly based on the use of firearms, although sometimes we can perform stealth eliminations by launching ourselves at our targets. We will also have the possibility of performing slow motion executions, which will be different depending on the firearm we use, so we will be able to experience interesting choreographies depending on whether we use a shotgun or a grenade launcher.
There aren’t enough acorns
As a Squirrel with a gun collect acorns This is the most important thing for us, since their accumulation will allow us to unlock new weapons to wreak havoc with, new clothing/accessories to dress our squirrel and be able to enter new areas. We will accumulate the acorns that the enemies give us and we will obtain them through exploration, and they will also allow us to recover life if we have received enough damage.
To access it we will have to access high areas, solve one puzzle or another and climb to different heights. Some suits will give us specific abilities, such as a suit that will protect us from explosions or a diving suit that will allow us to dive without problems, although the majority will be simple aesthetic accessories that we can combine as we wish.
Graphics and sound
The game relies on graphics that seek realism with maximum details on our squirrel as well as high quality animations and sound effects that reflect great care. The rest of the levels’ elements, like the environments and other characters, don’t have the same detail as the squirrel, but they do enough. I found it quite interesting how much of the “Main Menu” music is in the style of the James Bond films.
Regarding the music, it is true that in some fights the chosen song was not entirely suited to the situation in which we found ourselves, most of the time being a somewhat noisy type of music for what the situation offered.
Conclusions Squirrel with a gun
Squirrel with a Gun is a crazy third-person action platform game that puts us in the shoes of a squirrel capable of handling different firearms and stealing a few acorns from our neighbors in the neighborhood. It is true that the game does not have a great story and the truth is that a cooperative mode could make the title a more complete experience, but it is a different title that offers fun and different moments from what the can be found on the market.
