Gunster: Rain of Bullets (Gunstrike R: Reloaded Bullets in Japanese) is a 2D side-scrolling online shooter (more specifically a run & gun) created by Korean based company NHN USA Inc. who in turn hosted the game using the North American portal named ijji. It was under closed beta from September 13th to October 9th. The Live Service started on October 18th, 2006. Since then several events have occurred including a Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas event. On February 14, 2007 Ijji stopped hosting the game for the sake of development challenges (perhaps even hacking problems).

Hangame, the original creator, once hosted the game for Korean speaking gamers but has since died off as well. The Japanese version, however, lives on.

Note that the game uses anti-hack software (nProtect).

[edit] Story

Players assume the role of futuristic mercenaries sent on various missions that make up the Challenge and Mission licenses. All missions may be played single-player, but many can also be played in groups of up to three. Most missions consist of traversing a level from left to right while destroying enemies. Over the course of gameplay, players obtain "medals" which allow them to progress from the beginner challenges to the multiplayer Battle modes, including Survival and Deathmatch.

[edit] Alternate Versions

The Japanese (and probably Korean as well) version of the game already has features implemented into it that the one available on ijji.com doesn't. It also has minor changes like character stats and names. The following is a list of such differences (please note that these are not guaranteed or officially planned updates). See the Japanese game website for more information (external links, Gunstrike R).
