Can I expense this?
Devolver Digital has begun rolling out their bespoke arcade title, House of the Gundead, and you can order yours today (for $5500).
Drawing from Enter the Gungeon and inspired by House of the Dead, House of the Gundead is a light gun shooter; the type youād find in bowling alleys. While LCD displays have largely led to a major decline in light gun games, House of the Gundead uses 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 43ā screen.
Not only that, but the game itself looks fun. Drawing from the cute, cartoony style of Enter the Gungeon, itās a far cry from your usual Time Crisis. Iām honestly having difficulty saying more about it because Iām taken in by its visuals.
I really want to play it. Itās too bad arcades are a myth.
Iām hoping House of the Gundead gets ported eventually. I recently put money down on a Sinden light gun because if it does what it says on the box ā and I have no reason to believe it doesnāt ā then itās an exciting prospect. Iām not a gun person by any means, but I love the physicality of the experience. At least I can afford one of those. Iām not sure where Iād 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 Gundead is available for order right now in arcade cabinet format only.
