still had quite a few memorable moments in the moves our Gunslinger of Resurrection can pull off. In fact, if there is a complaint to be had, it’s that the action was so relentless that my time with the gave almost feels like a blur, to the point where it could run the risk of being repetitive. What we have here is a straight-up pulse-pounding action game with a focus on quick gameplay and a ton of targets to shoot. And twenty years later, I’m happy to see that it’s still just as beautifully bonkers, if not more. I actually remember seeing the original Gungrave for the first time, and how its slick characters and concept of a man wielding a coffin that acts as a massive gun sounded delightfully bonkers. There was one obvious exception there, though, and that would be Gungrave G.O.R.E., a new entry in the action game series that began two decades ago, here resurrected by South Korean developers Iggymob. First impressions can indeed be important, even moreso when it comes to the first hands-on time with a game, and a couple of Prime Matter’s titles shown could have used a better showcase. The Last Oricru was good, but the demo didn’t make the greatest use of its sci-fi/medieval hybrid setting, mainly focusing on the latter part and thus coming off as a little generic for an action-RPG, and Mato Anomalies was visually striking and had an interesting setting, but as it only showed off the very beginning of things, didn’t feel like the greatest taste of the game’s potential. And recently I was able to check out three of their upcoming titles, which while still showing promise, feel like a continuation of the theme from my recent previews about the importance of a well-crafted demo and the impact it could have on anyone playing them. When Plaion (back when they were still known as Koch Media) announced a new publishing label last year, dubbed Prime Matter, it did so with more than a few promising upcoming games as part of its initial offerings.
