Gun Bros is a freemium Twin-Stick shooter published by Glu Mobile LLC on October 17, 2010, on iOS, then later on Android respectively. Influenced by the early Social Media uprising, the game utilized Facebook on most platforms and also Game Center on iOS for most of its Online features (later on it expanded to Open Feint on Android). It was one of Glu Mobile's biggest hits in their early 2010s freemium participation in the growing Mobile Market that was the App Store and Android Market (later Play Store).

Gameplay

File:Gun Bros Gameplay.png The game is a top-down twin-stick shooter, it uses the touchscreen's left joystick for 360 degree movement, and the right joystick for 360 degree shooting. The game plays with up to 2 players (in Single-Player your teammate is an AI) that go through the game's Campaign. The levels are divided into Planets and within that are 10 Revolutions with 50 Waves (levels) each that grow in difficulty with every Revolution. The simple yet fun base concept is complimented by various RPG elements, such as defeating enemies to gain money for stat changing equipment and XP for extra Health all the way to progressing through the game's incredibly lengthy and difficult New Game +-like campaign. Combine that with popular Social elements of the early 2010s mobile market, namely Passive Multiplayer, the game has a Brotherhood system that acts as a friend portal where you can use your friend's character to play as your AI teammate, gain passive stats for adding friends in-game and complete Daily Objectives known as Bro-Ops by yourself, or gaining more rewards by having friends complete them as well.
