God’s Trigger

They die in one hit. So do I.
Now that's what I call equality.
Not exactly peaceful, but whatever.

An very enjoyable top-down shooter that is particularly well suited for co-op. The gameplay is fast, satisfying with two characters offering different abilitie. The story is fairly secondary, but the gameplay more than makes up for it.

Extremely addicting game, it's like hotline miami meets Ghostrunner and they have a child.
Even though the game is ''old'' by some standards, the graphics hold up extremely well and it's a visual joy.
Tried this out on a laptop and it runs great, i imagine you can run it even on a potato.
If you have a chance to buy this on sale do it, you won't regret it.

Super solid twin stick shooter, some boss design is a little off, notably I find War and Gabriel aren't all too fun to fight but other than that it's pretty good.

Can't speak for the people having issues on steamdeck or who had control issues years ago, but as of 2026 I had fun with god's trigger for what it was.
God's Trigger scratched that hotline itch I've been having without overstaying its welcome at ~5-7 hours of playtime. I played solo on keyboard & mouse, and it was alright, but I could tell some of the sections had co-op in mind. Some pretty good segments; switching between characters to use their abilities/special dashes felt fluid. There were also some segements that need improvement; walking around corners with enemies instantly spotting you rewarded corner-peak-spamming with judy's ranged chains (her primary weapon) or one of the guns, which isn't a very fun playstyle for me. Some of the boss fights were also undercooked, with a lot of 'dodge until the boss gets tired and you have an opening to hit them'.
There are skill upgrades, I didn't find the minor upgrades for each skill that impactful (takes less energy to charge, more range, more duration), but the perks and the unique upgrades for each skill should be enough to let anyone interested craft a mini-build.
There are a few systems I didn't feel were too well integrated, like the 'marking' system. I tried using it a few times in the first chapter and eventually gave up since it didn't feel like it was paying off. Energy was a bit too hard to come by for that and the unique character skills. But using the skills felt pretty fun, and the combo meter was forgiving enough to let you rack up a pretty high combo each level.
Definitely not a perfect game, but I think it's worth the 80% discount price (about 4$ CAD) for twinstick shooter fans. I can't vouch for co-op (bugs or balancing) since I didn't try it, but could be good for a couple of sessions with a friend.

As a cooperative romp, it’s solid, as a long term grind, it wears out its welcome a bit early, great if you ever wanted to play a hotline miami style game coop but a bit thin and repetitive on your own.
