This is Niche Spotlight. In this column, we regularly introduce new games to our fans, so please leave feedback and let us know if there’s a game you want us to cover!
Today’s Spotlight is Shotgun Farmers, a colorful and quirky multiplayer shooter by Megastorm Games.
Shotgun Farmers‘ big gimmick is that there are no reloads, but missed shots grow into guns. Players can pick up the gun plants immediately, or let them mature to get a gun with more ammo in it. The game supports up to 10 players in a match, and also features bots. You can watch a trailer for the game above.
Shotgun Farmers is available on Windows PC, Mac, and Linux via Steam for $9.99.
Here’s a rundown of the game:
Shotgun Farmers is the first-person multiplayer shooter where missed shots grow guns. Reloading isn’t an option, so grab one of the deadly crops planted by earlier missed shots. Shot at by a sniper? Well they just planted you your very own sniper gun to fire back with! Harvest weapon plants quickly for more ammo or let them grow for a larger clip.
Key Features:
- ONLINE & OFFLINE – Play online with up to 10 players per match, in public lobbies and private password protected rooms. Looking to practice?
