Devolver is releasing a new light gun shooter into arcades – but what we really need is a home port

[ad_1]

In the pantheon of strange choices, Devolver Digital’s decision to create an arcade spin-off from its Enter the Gungeon series is perhaps one of the most interesting ones. Arcades are in better health than perhaps a decade ago, but also arguably aren’t exactly the hottest or most fertile ground in gaming.

But credit to Devolver and developer Dodge Roll – it’s crafted House of the Gundead, an awesome-looking new light gun shooter game, despite the fact that it’s exclusive to a $6000 arcade cabinet. I’m super glad it exists. But you know what it really needs? A home port, guns and all.

Devolver knows it, too. House of the Gundead’s arcade cabinet uses Sinden Light Guns. Sinden is an old friend of VG247 – I’ve been using their guns on my home arcade cabinet to play emulated versions of classic arcade shooters like Point Blank and Time Crisis for an age. These guns work blissfully well on modern flat-screen displays – and in some instances are actually arguably more accurate than the old-school methods.
