\"\"<\/a>Fingun is a silly and quirky Japanese style horizontal shooter.\u00a0 You control a gloved hand pointed in the shape of a gun (think Master Hand from Smash Bros.) as you fire bullets at crazy bosses.\u00a0 It kind of reminds me of a mix of WarioWare and Sexy Parodius.\u00a0 It\u2019s available on Switch and PC, but reviewed on Switch here.<\/p>\n

Each stage is just a boss fight, but these are some of the craziest boss fights in a shooting game.\u00a0 You will battle against a giant lady shaking her stuff on a beach, a girl dressed as a tanuki, a huge mushroom with a human foot, a daruma doll, and many more!\u00a0 You just move around and hold the button to fire.\u00a0 Each boss has several phases and when you shoot off a piece of its \u2018armor,\u2019 you\u2019ll get a power up like more bullets at once, rotating \u2018option\u2019 shots, and more.\u00a0 When you defeat the boss you\u2019ll move onto the next.\u00a0 Lose three lives and it\u2019s Game Over.<\/p>\n

The game has several modes.\u00a0 \u201cPlay\u201d is the main one where you can choose a Training stage to show you how to play, Normal Mode where you start from the beginning, choose levels you\u2019ve beaten in Level Select, or customize how you want your gun, shields, and mini-guns to look like as you play.\u00a0 You can also toggle options in Settings, view unlocked artwork in the Gallery, view your Challenges (think Achievements), and watch the credits.<\/p>\n

The main problem I had with this game is that it\u2019s a bit too hard, but it does get a little easier as you progress and get more power-ups.\u00a0 You also seem to get more continues the farther you get, but it only goes so far paired with the difficulty.\u00a0 Also the game gets a bit too saucy for my tastes, but we\u2019ll get to that in a minute.\u00a0 If this game had a difficulty selection, I think I\u2019d like it better.<\/p>\n

Kid Factor:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fingun is rated M for Mature with ESRB descriptors of Language and Sexual Content.\u00a0 I didn\u2019t really notice any bad language, but there sure is a lot of sexual content.\u00a0 In the game, you shoot off armor from many cartoony anime ladies, but panties, bubbles, or bandages cover up the naughty bits.\u00a0 But some of the pictures you can unlock in the gallery certainly have nudity in them.\u00a0 I didn\u2019t think that kind of stuff was even allowed in a video game, but I don\u2019t really play too many M rated games so maybe that\u2019s why.\u00a0 At any rate, because of that this game is for grown-ups only.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
