Gunbuster is a first-person shooter, combining joysticks to move and light guns to shoot. The game has a dual monitor setup with 4 mounted light guns, allowing for single or two player coop games, as well as 2 player vs 2 player team battles. Players can select one of four cyborgs, each with a different special weapon; mine, laser, fire or spark. The game takes place in Agalia City, a fictional science fiction city where cyborg crime has become rampant. In the year 2169, the city offered rewards for cyborg criminals and introduced an organization of hunters. As time passed, humanity began to refer to these hunters as "Gunbusters".
