Necromunda: Hired Gun, the John Wick in Warhammer… or maybe not
- Genre: First-person shooter/Adventure
- Players: Solo
- Platform: Steam, PS5, Xbox, Luna, GeForce Now
Necromunda: Hired Gun is basically the best alternative to Space Marine 2 without Space Marines. You play a mercenary in the worst area of one of the absurdly large macropolises of the Imperium and fight – for payment – against all sorts of opponents.
Whether criminals wreaking havoc in the city or mutants hiding somewhere in the underhive: you complete missions for the different factions fighting for control in the hive to earn rewards.
With your cyber-mastiff, a grappling hook, and your gun, you blast your way through various levels, collect bounties, and improve your skills and weapons. At the same time, you learn something about the story of Warhammer and Necromunda itself – and that can be quite exciting.
Because Necromunda is the world where the notorious Corpse Guild operates, a trading society that oversees the manufacturing of corpse starch from deceased people. Yes: in Warhammer 40,000, humans feed on humans, albeit in a processed form.
