Sabertooth Posted January 21, 2022 Report Share Posted January 21, 2022 (edited) Release Date: 12/11/20 Retail: $19.99 Developer(s): Utopos Games Publisher: Utopos Games Official Site: https://www.utoposgames.com/guntech2 Synopsis : "Utopos Space Station was the new hope for humans. It failed. Never underestimate human greed. Your job is to clean up the mess. Fight alien life forms, rescue scientists, deliver vaccines to combat a deadly pandemic. Guntech 2 is a retro-style shoot'em up that takes you on an adventure in the asteroid belt. Some would even call it a cave-flyer. Whatever you call it, one thing is for sure - the game is packed full of non-stop action, loads of weapons, and big explosions!"

Obviously, the theme is inspired by our current global pandemic. However, art-imitating-life turned to life-imitating-art when Guntech developer and creator Jani Penttinen was hospitalized due to COVID. Read the story at WIRED.
