Gungrave

Gungrave is a third-person shooter video game developed and published by Red Entertainment for the Playstation 2. While the game play received moderate reviews, Gungrave's acclaim comes from the character designs provided by series creator Yasuhiro Nightow and mechanical designs provided by Kōsuke Fujishima (Oh My Goddess. As a third-person shooter, Gungrave focuses entirely on combat and forgoes the puzzle solving aspects of some of its forebears. When the shield is fully depleted, the player is highly vulnerable and further damage reduces the character's health level rapidly. Can be used by charging the beat meter which is represented by a skull on the top left corner of the game's heads-up display. This is where the game's story takes place.
