Guns, Gore and Cannoli 2 (2018)

Guns, Gore & Cannoli 2 thrusts players back into the gritty, mob-infested 1940s, this time with Vinnie Cannoli facing the ultimate war. Fifteen years after the Thugtown Massacre, Vinnie finds himself dragged into the heart of World War 2 as past mistakes resurface, turning friends into foes and forcing him to confront a conspiracy that reaches across the globe. This sequel amplifies the chaotic fun with significantly upgraded mobility, allowing for fluid 360-degree aiming, double jumps, dodges, and dual-wielding weapons. The rich, hand-drawn environments burst with period authenticity, from wartime Europe battlefields to classic speakeasy clubs, all brought to life with stunning animations and explosive set pieces. This action-packed arcade shooter stands out as a prime example of Rogueside's commitment to delivering engaging, humorous, and visually impressive 2D experiences. The single-player and co-op campaign modes are packed with relentless action against a diverse array of enemies including Nazis, zombies, and more, all while Vinnie delivers his signature wisecracks. The emphasis on environmental destruction, ragdoll physics, and the sheer over-the-top violence, combined with sharp writing and comical dialogue, creates a uniquely enjoyable and replayable experience that solidifies its place among Rogueside's best.
