Devolver is releasing a new light gun shooter into arcades – but what we really need is a home port
In the pantheon of strange choices, Devolver Digital’s decision to create an arcade spin-off from its Enter the Gungeon series is perhaps one of the most interesting ones. Arcades are in better health than perhaps a decade ago, but also arguably aren’t exactly the hottest or most fertile ground in gaming.
But credit to Devolver and developer Dodge Roll – it’s crafted House of the Gundead, an awesome-looking new light gun shooter game, despite the fact that it’s exclusive to a $6000 arcade cabinet. I’m super glad it exists. But you know what it really needs? A home port, guns and all.
Devolver knows it, too. House of the Gundead’s arcade cabinet uses Sinden Light Guns. Sinden is an old friend of VG247 – I’ve been using their guns on my home arcade cabinet to play emulated versions of classic arcade shooters like Point Blank and Time Crisis for an age. These guns work blissfully well on modern flat-screen displays – and in some instances are actually arguably more accurate than the old-school methods.

Time-loop online shooter Lemnis Gate will become unplayable in July
Lemnis Gate is a multiplayer shooter trapped within a turn-based timeloop, in which players work across turns to support their past selves and stymy their opponents. If that were possible in reality, this would be the perfect moment for a new iteration to appear and throw a shield around Lemnis Gate, because its developers have announced that it will close down this summer.

Capcom’s dinosaur shooter is coming to Game Pass this summer
Exoprimal, the online multiplayer dinosaur destruction derby game that is, for some reason, not a remake of Dino Crisis, finally has a release date. Capcom announced a slew of other news for the game as a part of its March 2023 presentation. Check out the latest trailer here.
Though it’s a rough time to release a live-service game with Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League’s release date getting pushed back along with an unfortunate amount of game shut-downs, Exoprimal is slated for release on July 13th. If you can’t wait that long, Capcom also shared that an open beta would be taking place March 17th through 19th — curiously the same dates as the early access open beta of Diablo IV.
