About This Game
Story Driven Cinematic Campaigns
Smoke & Thunder
A notorious gunslinger re-emerges to roam the Old West in search of her missing sister, unwinding a deep conspiracy on the cusp of the industrial revolution. It’s time to don your best cowboy hat and go guns-blazing to the wild West, where trains run amok, Tesla tech buzzes at every turn, and dynamite blasts dance across the sky.
2089
The cybernetic future is here, and it needs the perfect hero. It needs you. The 2089 campaign features a gritty sci-fi story and five linked scenes. Step into the cyber-augmented body of John Asimov, wielding a brutal new arsenal to battle an off-world plague of killer machines — all set to a sweet synthwave soundtrack.

Great fun, shooting in time to the music. It's kind of gun violenceto a pounding soundtrack, but the targets are matt black polygon's so it's not exactly graphic. Lots of leaning and squatting, can end up being quite a workout!
Beat saber + Super hot = Love it!
3 games on Medium or 2 games on Hard is enough to acquire 0.5L of sweat.
