The Gunstringer is a gesture-controlled shooter and adventure game developed by Twisted Pixel Games, released in 2011 for the Xbox 360. Players control a marionette protagonist — the Gunstringer himself — as his story unfolds across multiple acts, each set within a hand-crafted environment presented in the style of a theatrical performance. Combat draws on a range of weapons, with attacks triggered through player gestures. The game's presentation is notably elaborate, featuring a cast of over thirty characters supported by a large number of animations. The narrative follows the classic archetype of the solitary gunman seeking vengeance, framed as an unfolding stage production that gives the game a distinctive visual and tonal identity distinct from conventional shooters in the genre.
