Gunfire Reborn: enjoy finding a build that makes your shooting click

Gunfire Reborn

The appeal is not just landing shots. Reviews describe the pleasure of turning a struggling run into a powerful build.

It suits players who want to experiment with weapons and playstyles around a hero’s abilities.

What makes it fun

  1. A new hero, a new approach

    Heroes have different skills and favor different weapons. Each weapon or Occult Scroll you find gives you a chance to consider how it fits your hero's abilities.

  2. Build around what drops

    Even if the Occult Scroll you wanted does not appear, the weapons and scrolls you find can lead you toward another build. An unplanned way to fight can take shape from those drops.

  3. When a build clicks

    When a weapon and Occult Scrolls work together, a build that struggled from room to room can suddenly take off. You can feel the difference in combat after finding the right effect.
