Can I expense this?
Devolver Digital has begun rolling out their bespoke arcade title,House of the Gundead, and you canorder yours today(for $5500).
Drawing fromEnter the Gungeonand inspired byHouse of the Dead,House of the Gundeadis a light gun shooter; the type you’d find in bowling alleys. While LCD displays have largely led to a major decline in light gun games,House of the Gundeaduses a pair of shiny Shinden light guns for allegedly pixel-perfect aiming. It also has some absolutely fab cabinetry, with great artwork and a big, big 43” screen.
Not only that, but the game itself looks fun. Drawing from the cute, cartoony style ofEnter the Gungeon, it’s a far cry from your usualTime Crisis. I’m honestly having difficulty saying more about it because I’m taken in by its visuals.
I really want to play it. It’s too bad arcades are a myth.
I’m hopingHouse of the Gundeadgets ported eventually. I recently put money downon a Sinden light gunbecause if it does what it says on the box – and I have no reason to believe it doesn’t – then it’s an exciting prospect. I’m not a gun person by any means, but I love thephysicality of the experience. At least I can afford one of those. I’m not sure where I’d put an arcade cab in my postage-stamp-sized apartment, but if Devolver would like to send me one for review (wink wink), I would be willing to throw my husband out to make space.
House of the Gundeadis available for order right now in arcade cabinet format only.
