Evaluation

Rise of Gun launched on March 25, 2024 and has received a sustained stream of content from its solo developer. Two major updates have shipped: the v6: Story Mode update on April 14, 2025 (adding a full story campaign, quests, characters, new locations, workers, and over 10 hours of additional gameplay) and a New Autumn Update on September 22, 2025 (introducing Custom Mode, a Research Machine, and a Halloween seasonal event). While the v6 post initially described that update as "the last big update," subsequent developer communications made clear that smaller and medium-sized updates would continue — and the developer has followed through on that. On May 16, 2026, the developer released a test branch migrating the game to Unreal Engine 5.4, explicitly stating this move will make implementing new content and updates much easier going forward. Most recently, on August 4, 2026, the developer posted Devblog #18 confirming that a new update is actively in development. The post details specific features already implemented and available on the Experimental Branch — including a Parts Order Board, a coffee machine, shelf locking, and a new shelf markup system — while explaining that unexpected bugs have delayed the release slightly. The developer also previewed upcoming mechanics (a redesigned customer system with individual budgets and weapon preferences) and stated there is "still a lot of exciting content ahead." The game is actively being updated by its developer, with the next update in progress and partially available on the test branch as of August 4, 2026.

About this game


Rise of Gun A simulator of a weapons store in a world overrun by zombies after a global epidemic. The entire world is enveloped in darkness, but humans have not given up and are fighting to the end. After losing his family, the main character sets out in search of survivors in despair. The journey was difficult, but he was able to find a wonderful settlement with few people but all of them determined to rebuild the world. As the only master who can create weapons, the main character is very valuable in this town. The mayor of the town has allocated a shop with a workshop so that we can create and sell the weapons that we make.

Features
Weapon CraftingYou will be able to create weapons without any restrictions, even from incompatible parts. Unleash your imagination and create the most creative weapons.
The weapon crafting system is as convenient and enjoyable as possible, so you can enjoy the result rather than get tired of the countless actions.


Many componentsThere are over 200 different weapon parts that allow players to create over a million different weapon combinations. The parts are divided into several types and differ in rarity. The main part to which all subsequent parts are attached includes the barrel, scope, stock, grip, magazine, silencer, and bayonet. With these parts, players can create an incredibly unique weapon.


Weapon SalesIn the store, players can display and sell their weapons. There are many different shelves for displaying weapons. Once a resident of the town finds a suitable weapon, they will buy it.


Shop UpgradesPlayers can upgrade their shop with various buildings, from decorative elements to workbenches and generators. Each building adds something new to the gameplay, such as attracting more customers, making the store more cozy, opening up more space for selling weapons, speeding up the creation of weapons, adding new functions, such as disassembling parts for materials, and more.


AtmosphereThis small town is very cozy. The mayor of the town makes an effort to ensure the safety of all residents and create a pleasant atmosphere. You will also experience day and night cycles, weather changes, and cheerful residents.
