Sleepless nights, frustrating lag and the sweet taste of victory. You’ve probably experienced all this while playing Softnyx’s online turn-based shooting game Gunbound.

The popular ballistics-based MMO (Massive Multiplayer Online), which shut down its servers in 2009, has made a comeback on Philippines shores after a nearly seven-year hiatus.

According to a write-up on unbox.ph, not much has changed with the GunBound’s original gameplay since its first launch in 2006.

Players are still assigned to two opposing teams, which take turns firing at each other with vehicles called mobiles in GunBound parlance.

Users can still customize their personal avatars with numerous weaponry, which provides additional statistical bonuses for its bearers.

Though the game’s objective varies with different modes, it typically ends when a squad eliminates all its opponents either by diminishing their health points or  making their vehicle fall off the arena.

At first glance, there’s also no graphical upgrade done to the game, as it retains the same sprite-like graphics of the original.

The new Gunbound, however, is still in beta mode and is subject to more updates in due time.

Additional information about the game is available in their website, gunbound-ph.com. Khristian Ibarrola/rga
