Jets'n'Guns is a Shoot Em Up, also called a 2D sidescrolling space shooter. I have spent at least 200 hours playing this game by myself/ when I was younger and I instantly bought this game on steam.

There's an insane number of weapons to buy, you can level them up, you can purchase upgrades for your ship, pick a combination of weapons you like depending on your playstyle. There's also a good selection of bombs and missiles.

The music is amazing ( 30+ soundtracks from Machinae Supremacy, an amazing Sid Metal band, ) the replayability is good, they added achievements, trading cards, some tweaks and it works on 1920x1080 resolution. I recommend buying this game in a heartbeat if you liked any kind of space shooters because it's always been my favorite one and you will definately like it.

After playing for an hour or so, I can tell it's just as good as I remember it, but, I also used to play on easy and I just tried hard, way too hard for me, normal offers me a fair challenge and the game is very enjoyable. :)

Ahh, the best damn side-scroller shump I've ever played.

Tons of levels, tons of weapons, awesome soundtrack and just plain fun! Almost every level you beat will unlock another gun, missile or bomb to try out! All the weapons can be upgraded to do more damage, have a larger spread and just look more awesome! There are space missions, missions where bombs are a must to clear out land enemies, missions where you fly in a jetpack with 2 giant guns strapped to it... lol

There are secret ships, levels and weapons to find too!

A lot of the ships have different powerups they can get and weapon slots... for example one ship might have 3 forward weapon slots and a bomb slot whereas another ship might have 2 forward slots, one rear slot and missile AND bomb slot. All ships have different hull integrity, heat sink and agility so that further sets them a part! Gotta choose the right ship for the mission!

Man, its freakin awesome so don't let the older graphics turn you away! Its a glorious high-action explosive game!

I originally played Jets'n'Guns years ago, and had an absolute blast. However I never actually paid for the game.

Finally, years later it is released on Steam and it's just as awesome as when it originally came out.

Jets 'n' Guns is a fantastic space side scrolling shooter, with heaps of equipment to buy and loads of upgrades. The soundtrack is absolutely fantastic and very fitting.

My favorite part about J'n'G is being able to try countless configurations on the ships to see which combination will help me finally finish my current level. When you buy an item you can always sell it back for the buying value, so you are never restricted to what combinations you want to attempt.

This is an intense retro shooter with a crazy amount of replayability, don't miss this one out!

One my favourite highly customizable shmups from several years ago on Steam? YES PLEASE! Time has not aged this beast too badly at all. It still looks good, throws out the challenge, and the soundtrack is as kicking as ever thanks to Machinae Supremacy bringing some hard-ass rock-metal into the mix.

still an absolute classic. it's not the most balanced shmup in the world, but dangit, it has heart. ridiculous amounts of customization to be had picking from its arsenal of ships, guns, and upgrades and thousands upon thousands of enemies to murder across some of the weirdest, goofiest levels you'd never expect to blast through.

This is the hidden gem of arcade shooting games.

- Good level design
- Many ships upgrade
- Great soundtrack
- Massive destruction

This game ....

I remember e-mailing the creators way back in 2005 because I wanted to buy this game so bad but didn't have a credit card (could only buy it online at the time), they were nice enough to let me buy it directly from them and sent me a disk with the game ! they even let me choose another one of their games for free ! Talk about customer service...

The game itself is pure awesome, it clearly takes inpiration from older great scroller shooting games like Tyrian 2000, which is a good thing and it certainly has its own uniqueness as well.

Pro's:
+ great OST (you can copy the music files from the game folder)
+ tons of upgradeable weapons, ships, gadgets, ...
+ many levels
+ graphics have aged decently
+ funny story
+ awesome carnage
+ endless game: when you finnish the game you just restart on a higher difficulty with all your upgrades intact, after a few times of 'restarting' you can choose from new different ships, including some ships from bosses you fought earlier

con's
- I had to use xpadder to get the game working nicely with an xbox controller,
it does work out of the box but it felt weird to me.
- low resolution may bother some (not me)
- some weapons are utterly useless
- The game can be inconsistent in its difficulty, the beginning can be really though ... only to be overpowered in the endgame, I always play the game on hard because it felt the most rewarding, but I definitely don't recommend playing on hard when you try it for the first time
- my original disc doesn't work anymore :( luckily there's steam !
- that ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ rage inducing race level still pisses me off


Now, bring on jets'n'guns 2 already !

THis is one of my favorite shoters of all time. The bent sense of humor, custom options for your ships, attention to detail, and absurd levels and hardness keep me coming back. I played this *years** ago, and picked it *again* up on Steam and can't stop playing. Jet and Guns is a must-have masterpiece for anyone who loves SCHMUPS

There is so much to dig into in this game. So many sevcrets and weapons to try out. It's lovely.

So much fun, a challenging game with a huge arsenal to choose from at your own will, amusing humour and an amazing soundtrack by Machinae Supremacy (that's included as separate files for free!) for just a few bucks? This is a robbery. For the developers.

It's not just a good sidescrolling shooter. This game does its job, with a blast.
Don't get fooled by the cheesy looking graphics, as the game was released for quite some time before it even reached Steam. They get the job done and JnG looks pleasant enough for an old 2d shooter.
