Guntech 2 is a return of the good old cave flyer shoot 'em ups genre. What started as a simple idea to bring back the classic Utopos game from 1993 has evolved over 4 years into a full-blown twin-stick shooter with epic boss battles, incredible graphics and fast framerate. The game offers co-op multiplayer for up to 4 players and many hours worth of exciting levels to beat.
Controls
Guntech 2 supports twin-stick controls with a game controller, and WASD keyboard and mouse controls. The game is designed for both control schemes and feels great with either one.
Gameplay
Guntech 2 features 5 worlds: Tutorial, Virus, The Dark Worlds, Space Jungle, and Cargo Hauler. Each world has 8 levels plus a boss battle at the end.
The game offers two modes: arcade mode and adventure mode. In arcade mode, you play through levels in order, trying to get the best score. In adventure mode, you explore the worlds and complete missions.
Each level awards up to 3 stars based on your performance, giving you a reason to come back and improve your scores.
Weapons
Guntech 2 features 20 different weapons, ranging from rapid-fire machine guns to devastating lasers and explosive rockets. Each weapon has its own strengths and weaknesses, and finding the right combination for each level is part of the fun.
Length
The tutorial world takes about 30 minutes to complete. The full game takes approximately 6-7 hours to beat, with plenty of replayability thanks to the star system, different weapons and ships to try, and co-op multiplayer.
Achievements
Guntech 2 features a full set of achievements to unlock on all platforms. Complete challenges, find secrets, and master the game to earn them all.
Backstory
Utopos Space Station was the new hope for humans. It failed. Never underestimate human greed.
The Development Story
My name is Jani Penttinen, and I created this game. Guntech 2 is in fact a sequel to a remake of my very first published game from 1993. That game was called Utopos, and it was released on Atari ST. This resulted in an amazing career in game development, including working at the legendary studios Remedy Entertainment and Westwood Studios.
The story of Utopos was chronicled in an Atari Legend documentary: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L3xiIwOCU9k
Here's my full history as a game developer: https://www.janipenttinen.com/post/who-is-jani-penttinen-the-game-developer
Over the years I lost the passion and somehow drifted to doing something completely different. Then one day, I was talking to my young kids. I had given up game development several years earlier, so they had no idea I had ever made games. For them I was working the most boring business job, and they couldn't be less interested in my work. Somehow I mentioned that I used to be a game developer...
You should have seen their faces! It's almost as if I told them their dad used to be a rock star. Suddenly I was cool. I ended up downloading Unity (which I had never used before), and decided to re-learn how to make games by remaking my very first game, Utopos.
I figured it would take about 3 months, but it ended up taking 3 whole years to create Guntech (the remake of Utopos)! And then it took another year to create Guntech 2, the sequel.
Please enjoy Guntech 2! I have put a lot of love into creating it. If you have any questions or comments, the best way is to reach out through Discord: https://discord.gg/E6zAWxt
