About the Game
Gunpoint is a stealth puzzle game that lets you rewire its levels to trick people. You play a freelance spy who takes jobs from his clients to break into high security buildings and steal sensitive data.To get past security, you'll need to make creative use of your main gadget: the Crosslink. It lets you see how all the security devices in a level are wired up, and then you can just click and drag with the mouse to wire them differently. So you can connect a lightswitch to a trapdoor, then flick it when a guard walks across to make him fall through.

Real short but very sweet as the game that started the legendary defenestration trilogy its a fantastic game that is witty not just in dialogue but also in the game play its self.
100% worth your time like come on man its not that expensive just play it
Gunpoint combines 2D stealth and puzzle solving in an incredibly satisfying manner - filling a similar niche to "Mark of the Ninja". It is a brief but memorable experience that manages to fully explore its own mechanics without ever feeling repetitive.
The game is divided into a series of short missions that see you infiltrate a building filled with guards and various security systems. Each mission supports a variety of play styles - you can knockout every guard, or try to go completely unnoticed - and both approaches feel satisfying. Even within those paradigms, there are a number of different solutions to each level, thanks to the vast toolkit available to the player.
The first half of the player's toolkit consists of physical movement. This includes the ability to leap ridiculous distances, climb walls, smash through windows, and knockout guards.
The second half is the game's truly unique idea - the ability to rewire the level itself. For example you could disconnect a camera from an alarm, and connect it to a door instead. Now when the camera detects you, the door opens!
These two systems work together incredibly well - the level rewiring allows you to create your own infiltration plan, and the movement mechanics allow you to put that plan in motion.
The game awards you with "badges" for completing missions in certain ways (e.g. no violence, no witnesses, etc), but no story or game play are locked behind these - you're never punished for playing your own way.
There's also a humorous "private detective/corporate espionage" story that is told in little snippets during the briefing for each mission. It's a great companion to the game (and fits the tone well), but its definitely not the focus.
TIP: Some of the upgrades/abilities have a tutorial (via a button labelled "Try Out"). I recommend always doing these, as some of the abilities have subtle quirks that are explained in these tutorials, but not in the game itself.
I can confirm that you are in fact able to point a gun in this game.
good game
First Steam game where I unlocked every achievement and still can go back and have a ton of easy fun. Can't think of anyone who wouldn't like this.
The game is an absolute blast. Truly. I played it years and decided I wanted to throw some more time at it for a 100% run and its bringing back some good memories. So many more things to uncover in the game's story then it lets on. It's not ground breaking per say, but as a package its a 10/10 game. Its just fun. Get it! Yes even in 2024!
Good.
Really, really, really good little game. Funny. Engaging. Works on any computer. I'm just reinstalling it for my third playthrough.
Good game
Fantastically fun puzzle game. 12/10
Really fun. The pixel art style is simple but tasteful and well-animated. The pacing of the game and the difficulty curve feel just right. The story isn't terribly inspiring, but it really doesn't need to be for a game like this. It didn't overstay its welcome, and was really fun for a sitting or two. Would recommend.
It's a fantastic, fun little game that does what it intends to do well.
If you liked games like Mark of the Ninja you'll very likely enjoy this.
Solid
The game is completed. That would have felt good if I hadn't just taken a seven story body slam.
A short and brilliant game. I come mainly for the hacking gameplay but stay for the story and quirky writing.
I like. :)
Simple great puzzles, slowly ramps up the difficultly and rewards actual thinking (outside of the gun you can buy) where a lot of the games mechanics and systems want you to think encounters through. You can't just brute force them like many "stealth" games.
Because you're so fragile to damage you have to actually stealth around.
I look at Gunpoint and I say to myself, "yes."
An absolute gem
Gunpoint is a short and sweet stealth game that's around 80% puzzle, 20% action. You're a private investigator who infiltrates various restricted areas by remotely hacking security systems. For example, instead of a motion detector triggering an alarm when activated, you can rewire it to open a locked door instead. The puzzle lies in the variety of security devices that can be creatively rewired to work in your favor -- mostly to manipulate or incapacitate security personnel -- and the order of which you execute these hacks.
There are numerous ways for a player to accomplish his/her goal on each level. Sneaking past security is as viable as neutralizing all threats on the map. One can even unlock a gun and the ability to literally kick down doors if they wanted to go loud. With the more aggressive play styles, the game rewards the player's fast reflexes, hence the "20% action" classification above.
The story is convoluted to an almost absurd degree given the context of short puzzle game. It involves selecting dialogue options and branching story arcs. The was a time when one of the main character's dialogue options was to break the fourth wall and reply "I lost track of this story several levels back..." I personally wasn't invested in the plot, but given the gameplay driven nature of this game, it didn't have a significant impact on my enjoyment of this title.
Overall, Gunpoint is fun 4-7 hour puzzle game with interesting gameplay mechanics. I recommend picking it up on sale, forgetting about it, then loading it up as a palate cleanser after finishing a more complicated game with a much longer play time.
Fun game, reminds me of Mark of the Ninja, although far from being as polished. Screen resolution is kind of a lack luster to me. Since the game does not take modern resolution into account, this kinda forces the windowed mode, which, in turn, make the character very very small. Although the game was nice, this ruins it a little bit for me.
Cool game
It is like a good vanilla ice cream, it's delicious it's good and it's over quickly
it's easy to speedrun too, and the achievements aren't that difficult
10/10
a very fun game, you won't get much playtime out of it but the core mechanics and puzzles are enough to keep you occupied for a while
Came for the hat, stayed for the game.
fun
hilarious game that requires some thinking
Pretty good
The story is neat, the gameplay is cool and fun. + you get a free hat in TF2 (Crosslinker's Coil)
its ok
The game does what it promises and implements it wonderfully. A neat and fun little puzzle game, though it can be brute forced and cheesed to a certain extent. (8.4/10)
short but fun
Really cool indie game with a fun story
Short but sweet
A fun little arcade style game, reminds me of Elevator which I used to play in the arcades. quite challenging but not frustrating.
Sometimes, bad luck hits you like a multi-story fall into a solid plate of glass - literally.
Sometimes, good intentions spiral into a web of murder, lies, corruption, and vengeance.
Sometimes, you have to choose between saving the innocent, or punishing the guilty.
But hey - I got to kick a door off it's hinges and into someone's face!
Fun mechanics, engaging puzzles, and hilarious writing! 10/10 little indie gem!
Loved this game!
A short and sweet game about a freelance spy getting caught in the war between major arms dealers. The game has unlocks that, if you spend your earnings extremely poorly, you cannot unlock them all (but thankfully, you can buy and refund most of the unlocks at any point in the game to your heart's content).
Gunpoint is the first of the Defenestration Trilogy and, while it doesn't aim for the great heights of the last entry, it's an excellent puzzle game, with great character and humour, and is more than worth your time and money.
One of the games on Steam that I come back to replay once or twice a year. I just really enjoy the idea of an action puzzle game.
Great game but i am badge hunting but even though i got more badges it doesn't show on steam for some reason
Short, fun and really interesting.
A masterpiece.
Achievement Hunting Rating 3/5
Fun platform puzzles with snarky story elements. You will need to play through a couple time to get all achievements but the good news is that it's a short game about 6 hours to get everything. Might need to use a guide unless you want to play through a lot to find all the achievement paths on your own.
This is like a flash game, albeit a good one. I could see this right at home on one of those free online games sites, thus one would obviously question why its on steam and costs money. It should be free! Well, it isn't. I bought my copy on sale for about 2 bucks and advise you, dear reader, to do the same. Not worth playing again.
Good little game, with interesting and fun mechanics.
Gunpoint is a fun and little toy of a puzzle game where your ideas are almost as bad as your execution.
Recommended. A unique and creative puzzle-shooter hybrid with a delightful noir aesthetic.
Quick, name another game that falls into the category of "retro sci-fi neo-noir puzzle/shooter/stealth hybrid emphasizing non-linear problem solving." Actually, take your time. I'll wait.
I may not know every game in the world, but Gunpoint manages to be something that a lot of titles claim to be: unique. It crams a lot of mileage into a simple concept and simple design, a combination that sounds like it should make a simple game but instead creates a beautifully complex puzzler with a combat side. Oh, with an outstanding soundtrack.
Is it really that good?
Actually, yes, it is. This is actually two games seamlessly wrapped into one. On the one hand, you have a relatively simple stealth title with a combat sublayer. You don't want to get into combat, mind - at least not a fair fight. Ambush your enemies and knock them out (or, if you're particularly bloodthirsty, kill) if you must, but the pinnacle of performance here is to be a ghost. Get in, do what you need to do, and get out with nobody ever knowing you were there. Are you going to do that completely harmlessly? Probably not. Fortunately, there's a bevy of less-than-lethal means to help you along. That's where the other half of the game comes in.
Alongside the stealth-combat side of the game is a parallel game that presents the same levels to you but as a puzzle. You have the ability to rewire the building you're in on the fly and make its systems work for you - but only if you can come up with a plan for how. Yes, light switches toggle lights... but you can also make them open doors, call elevators, and do any number of other things. Daisy-chain devices together to execute complex strategies, trick guards into trapping themselves or knocking themselves out, use an elevator to trip a sensor to unlock a door - the things you can do vary from the simple to the wildly complicated and it's all up to you. Do you want to craft a complex technical solution to let you ghost your way in and out of an area or would you rather just ambush the guard and punch him out? It's up to you, your reflexes, and your patience for puzzle solving.
The writing that pulls the story along is perfectly crafted, offering interesting characters, compelling storylines, and a lot of humor. Not too much, and it's up to you just how snarky you want to be, ranging from Sam Spade to PG Wade Wilson levels.
Gunpoint also has a fantastic soundtrack. It fits in perfectly with the retro neo-noir setting. Even better, like the game it's two soundtracks rolled into one - whenever you go into hacking mode, the jazz-inspired noir music shifts to a synth-styled version of the exact same music as befits a technical hacking minigame. It's brilliant.
Okay, but there has to be something wrong with it
Alright, alright, you want criticisms. Fine.
The story is fixed. You really can't affect the outcome very much in any given direction, so you don't replay it for the story, you replay it for the puzzle. (Oh, and you can replay earlier missions any time you want and see if you can best your scores. That should've been in the good things section.) but yes, you really don't have any meaningful control over how the plot progresses.
It's a fairly short game. I've played through it about three times now (most of that time offline and Steam didn't count it) and a complete playthrough won't take more than a handful of hours. But they're good hours.
And... okay, here's a genuine gripe. This game hands out money and upgrade points with an eyedropper. Affording the upgrades for your character is tedious and slow, but it's part of the design and keeps you from being too powerful too fast to maintain the challenge. So it's really good design.
At $10 it's a little overpriced, particularly since the developer has several newer games out on the market (Gunpoint is nine years old), but the game is so good that it still feels like you're getting your money's worth.
The Bottom Line
This is a very, very good fusion of a stealth combat title with a technical puzzle game. It rounds the experience out with excellent pixel graphics, an exquisite soundtrack (one of the few I've spent money to buy, in fact), and a story that, while fixed, contains characters, events, and enough comedy to hook you early on and keep you running with it to see where it's going. And let's be perfectly honest: no other game has made falling through windows this much fun.
Recommended for anyone who likes stealth combat and technical puzzles. And smooth jazzy soundtracks.
Ah, a new game from Tom Francis has dropped. After finishing it, I guess I have to replay the Gunpoint again!
Maybe that doesn't matter. Maybe all that matters is... that I now have the ability to kick down doors.
