Gunfire Reborn News

Hello, everyone~

In this update, we have added several spiritual blessings and enhanced occult scrolls, and tweaked the difficulty of the boss [Abyssal Serpent]. Meanwhile, we’ve also improved the game experience when using controllers. The optimization of controllers is a long-term mission for us and we will spare no effort to further polish the controller way to play the game. Thank you for your support and feedback!
