Reviews

"Every aspect of its clever design, laugh-out-loud noir story, tiny but expressive art, and moody music work harmoniously with one another."

Steam Exclusive Offer

Purchase Gunpoint from Steam and receive an exclusive Team Fortress 2 item:
The Crosslinker's Coil
Did you know: before the mercenary fashion world discovered the obvious style and mental health benefits of wearing 22 feet of powered electrical cable around your head, people once wore hatbands made from 'silk' or other barely-lethal textiles! Strange but true.

Special Edition

The Special Edition of Gunpoint includes:

  • The Soundtrack: Includes all of the game's noir-inspired spy music in high quality MP3 format.
  • Developer Commentary: When enabled, you'll find little sprites of Gunpoint's developers on every mission. Talk to us to hear a little about our thinking behind the design (Tom), the art (John), and the music (Ryan).
Caution: shooting a developer while he's talking ends his current commentary track. This kills the developer.

Exclusive Edition

The Exclusive Edition includes all of the items in the Special Edition plus:

  • The Making Of Gunpoint: a 40-minute video feature taking you through how Gunpoint developed from a one-room test game to what you play today. Featuring Gunpoint's designer playing his earliest prototypes for the first time since they were made, to great personal embarrassment and shame.
  • The Prototype Pack (Windows only): Play snapshots of Gunpoint's development at 9 different stages, including cartoony programmer art, the first conception of the hacking system, many scrapped levels, and overpowered gadgets we later cut. For hopefully obvious reasons, we can't give technical support for these.
  • Exclusive Tracks: Bonus pieces produced specially by Gunpoint's composers for this edition, mixing the game's noir style with electronic influences. Since they're not used as background music in the game, our composers took the chance to be more adventurous with these tracks.
  • The Secret Beta Access List (betas may be Windows only): adds an option in the game menu to sign up to our Secret Beta Access List. If and when future Suspicious Developments games are developed, we'll sometimes give secret beta versions only to the members of this list.

About This Game

Gunpoint is a stealth puzzle game that lets you rewire its levels to trick people. You play a freelance spy who takes jobs from his clients to break into high security buildings and steal sensitive data.

To get past security, you'll need to make creative use of your main gadget: the Crosslink. It lets you see how all the security devices in a level are wired up, and then you can just click and drag with the mouse to wire them differently. So you can connect a lightswitch to a trapdoor, then flick it when a guard walks across to make him fall through.

Key Features

  • Rewire levels to work however you want
  • Trick guards into trapping themselves or shooting each other
  • Throw yourself - and others - through plate glass windows
  • Investigate a noir-inspired story of murder and espionage over 20 missions
  • Choose what to tell your clients, including lying to trick them
  • Choose your own playstyle: quick, quiet, non-violent, no living witnesses, or any combination
  • Discover new solutions to levels that no-one else has thought of
  • Buy specialist gadgets to suit how you want to play
  • All story stuff is skippable
  • Hardest puzzles are optional
  • No bosses - everyone dies in one shot, including you

There is a constant flow of humor into every corner of the game, from the best use of pixel art I ever seen, to the great detective/spy story where everyone fools everyone including the player. As a puzzle, the level is good enough to hook you clicking “next one” but on a hindsight the protagonist’s ability is a little overpowered and the level designs have not researched the game mechanism thoroughly to make the best use of them.

It's a really creative idea and a really functional game. Unfortunately for me it's one of those games that I pick up and then stop playing for a really long time. If this is your kind of thing, go for it.

This game is awesome. The mechanics are awesome and the humour is amazing. You can get through the story in just about 3 hours but theres a lot to do after that so I would definatly recomend it.

10/10 Would punch a man 100 times for an achievment.

8/10- Funny, challenging, and great soundtrack.

I really liked this game; Cool art, balanced difficulty, great music, comedy, and short enough for me to casually play and finish.
The only problem I have is with the Police Sniper. The description of this guy says you're only probably boned, but I can think of no way to kill or punch him without him shooting you.
Basically, I think this is a really good game.
Buy it.
Play it.

Great stealth game. Crosslink mechanic is fun and inventive. The story is short and the text is pretty funny and snarky, even in the achievements!

Gunpoint has come to be one of my favorite titles. Superb game with a perfect mix of stealth, strategy, action and puzzle, all seasoned with a dose of witty humor that is just as enjoyable as its clever, easy to learn gameplay. There are multiple ways to beat the levels, giving the (unfortunately) short game a good replay value; You can also play custom missions as well as create your own. And the soundtrack is just wonderful.

In short: Gunpoint is a great game created with a lot of heart that should appeal to a lot of gamers due to it touching several genres without getting stuck in any of them. I found the game on sale, but I would without a doubt have payed the original 7€ for it.

Install and get a TF2 Hat (Crosslinker's Coil)

Not worth buying for $10 but I got it free and it was worth installing and checking out.

Just 100% completed the game (obviously excluding the massive number of community-made maps) and I can wholeheartedly reccomend this game. If you are in any way fond of puzzle games (no, gran, matching games and Scrabble don't count) then you simply -must- get a copy of Gunpoint. Well done, Tom Francis, and thank you.

A Most Excellent Game:
I bought Gunpoint during the Summer Sale and I loved it. I had a hard time putting it down, I buzzed through it the story in 6 hours ( however the game is workshop compatiable so theres always new maps being made). I love the visuals, the music, the witty dialogue and the clever gameplay. After each level your given a rating on your level of violence, stealth, time, and completion of side objectives. It's incrediby rewarding to try and be as sneaky as possible.

I love the noir feel of the game. The developer really nailed it. I love the jazzy soundtrack and the trenchcoat toting protagonist.

10/10 Would knock-out guards with door again.
