Gun Bros was a hit Top-Down Twin-Stick shooter released by Glu Mobile.

What is Gun Bros?[]

Gun Bros is a game created by Glu Mobile for the Apple iPod Touch, iPhone & iPad as well as Android, Windows Phone and HP TouchPad. It is a "Freemium game" - it can be downloaded for free, but currency in-game can be bought for money. The player can control either Percy Gun or Francis Gun, who are commonly referred to as the "Bros." Gun Bros uses the Apple Game Center, which can save a player's guns, level, and armor.

The goal of this Top-Down Twin-Stick shooter is to exterminate endless waves of enemies, and the weapons that the player uses can range from pistols to rocket propelled bombs. The Story, whilst rather simplistic, has just about enough reasons to blast T.O.O.L. into smitherines and the RPG elements give enough depth to the game as to not get bored while doing it!

HTML5 versions of the game were also released, including Google Chrome as well as Facebook, Wild Tangent and Hi5, which received a promotional Flash Player release titled Gun Bros Lite.

Gun Bros clones[]

With the game making an estimated revenue of $610.000 in its first month, it's not hard to believe what Chris Handloser said : Gun Bros more or less saved Glu Mobile from bankruptcy.

The success of the game, however, resulted in Glu milking it for all its worth, be that all the ports and exclusive versions of the game or just blatantly disgusting Micro-Transactions. But this is nothing compared to Glu's most insane move : using the engine and overall formula of Gun Bros to create clones, hoping to find monetary success.

This move had us end up with a total of 3 Gun Bros Clones


Sequels and Spin-offs[]

The game received a single, rushed out sequel, Gun Bros 2 and a spin-off plane fighter game titled Bombshells Hell's Belles concepted by Chris Handloser himself, but it was outsourced, albeit to talented people, it was changed beyond recognition (still a great game, though).


Online shutdown[]

June 2021 : Facebook features have been removed for Gun Bros 3.1.4, this means no Bro-Ops thus you can't gain any Glu Coins/Warbucks, and no Cloud Saves.

October 5th 2021 : Facebook embbed login support has been completely deprecated. This means there is no more Facebook connectivity to any old Glu title, including Gun Bros. All the cloud saves are gone, no Bro-Ops, no Brotherhood, and going online is not possible via Facebook anymore

March 23rd 2022 : Glu noticed that me and my community was playing online. They shut down all Game Center access for Gun Bros, this means Cloud Saves, Bro-Ops, Brotherhood and even Live Multiplayer. This was the last server to be up for Gun Bros. May the game's online compartment rest in peace...

Update 3.3.0 (April 5th 2012)[]

Nicknamed "The cleansing" due to the fact it marked the removal of several Armor sets and Guns from the store as to commemorate the introduction of the "Starter Pack".

Removed Armor sets include


Removed Guns
