“Very fun and addicting gameplay loop. I would recommend this if you like low-stakes and laidback games where you get to take things apart and put them back together. My dad is impressed that I know things about guns now.”

“Gunsmith Simulator absolutely nails the part where you take guns apart and put them back together. It scratches that very specific “I want to meticulously disassemble something and pretend I know what I’m doing” itch perfectly. Unfortunately, everything around that is… kind of…”
— a player, Steam review · 26 hrs played“its a very laid back and practical gun simulator, its got a few slightly annoying features (the bidding system being the most annoying thing in the game) but its fun and good to learn some of the basics. If you're looking for an extremely realistic gun disassembly game this…”
