Gunship X is inspired by arguably one of the most memorable parts of Call of Duty Modern Warfare (the AC-130 mission) with a sprinkle of Starship Troopers.

Push back the intruders and give the humans a chance to be airlifted to safety with the awesome arsenal at your disposal. Quickly switch between weapons as they reload or cool off to ensure maximal alien carnage. Upgrade your airplanes and their weapons with your earnings and then go out on another bombing and rescue run.

As a player you’re immediately confronted with enemies that demand attention, but that do not put you in immediate peril. This gives you a moment to look around, spot friendlies, and gather yourself before unleashing your weapons.

The intensity quickly ramps up from there as you see friendlies abducted and taken off the edge of the game board. Over time, you have to balance your focus between saving humans to maximise earnings, keeping the landing zone clear of hostiles, and dispatching the bomber aliens that can shoot you down.

Gunship X will ship with at least two airplanes (AC-130, AC-17, and maybe a secret third plane) and over 30 levels spread across at least four unique battle fields. In addition to the missions you can play a survival mode where you’ll put your skills to the test to see how long you can last before getting shot down or overrun by aliens.

In addition to various visual enhancements, the “infinite runner” style missions have given way to a proper, progressive mission system. The infinite play mode is still available as an alternate mode.

Gunship X will support 1080p, 60fps and Cross Buy.
