There aren’t many situations in media in which we see a sensical marriage between a gun and anti-rain tool. The Penguin from Batman fame comes to mind. He would waddle about with an umbrella, occasionally aiming the pointy end and pulling a trigger in the handle. Because the umbrella was also a gun. It was clever. Devolver Digital and developer doinksoft (makers of Gato Raboto) seem to have taken that as a proof of concept. Today during the Nintendo Indie World showcase, the duo revealed Gunbrella, a game where you use a gun that’s also an umbrella.
It was a fun concept for The Penguin, and it looks equally great in the 2D shooter Gunbrella. The game takes on a Wild West motif, where your bearded, grizzled woodsman on a “quest for revenge.” As is the norm. He’s armed with a Gunbrella, a umbrella/gun hybrid that can fire and be used as a shield. You can also float through the air like Mary Poppins, and use it with zip lines.
But the Gunbrella is more…
