Gunman Clive for Nintendo 3DS

About Gunman Clive for Nintendo 3DS

Gunman Clive is a short action platformer set in a hand drawn Wild West. Clive sets out to rescue the mayor and his daughter from bandits, crossing deserts, mines and moving trains. The whole game is drawn in sepia tones like an old sketchbook, which gives it a look unlike anything else on the system. Beneath the quiet art sits tight and honest platform action that respects the player.

You run, jump and shoot through stages filled with bandits, animals and tricky gaps. New ideas appear in almost every level, from gravity tricks to boss fights against giant machines. Power ups change your gun for a short while, and careful players can finish stages without taking a hit for an extra challenge. After the main quest, a second character and a very different bonus mode add reasons to return. Small, sharp and full of craft, it earns its strong reputation.

Today the second hand market is the main road to this game. The Nintendo eShop for Nintendo 3DS closed in March 2023, so new digital purchases are no longer possible at all. The honest way to play Gunman Clive now is to find a physical cartridge from a retailer you trust. Those who bought the game digitally before the closure can still access their purchased games whenever they like. Many collectors enjoy hunting for these games now, since shop stock grows smaller with each passing year.

It remains a fine reminder of the Nintendo 3DS era.
