A solid run-and-gun with an original setting, more enjoyable in a group than solo. Short and a bit repetitive, it wins you over with its mob atmosphere and humor, without leaving a lasting mark.

Description
A mob run-and-gun by Crazy Monkey Studios, ported to Switch in 2018. In Prohibition-era America, a hitman guns down gangsters and zombies with a machine gun in snappy, bloody 2D action. The 1920s cartoon aesthetic, dark humor and four-player co-op make it a tasty retro blowout.

Guns, Gore & Cannoli (Nintendo Switch) price, value & rarity
The mobster and monstrous bosses provide this short adventure's peaks of intensity. Their cartoon excess fits the game's parodic tone, and facing them in four-player co-op turns these duels into chaotic, gleeful shootouts.
Better with friends
Four-player co-op turns this run-and-gun into a festive blowout: four gangsters spraying the screen with lead in gleeful chaos. Covering each other and sharing the enemy waves makes the adventure far tastier than solo.
Is Guns, Gore & Cannoli still worth playing in 2026?
Still one of the tastiest co-op run-and-guns in the catalog, Guns, Gore & Cannoli appeals with its Prohibition-era mob setting, dark humor and snappy action. Years on, its four-player co-op remains an excellent way to liven up an evening with friends. As retro 2D action rides high, it's an immediate, no-fuss pleasure. On Switch, its short, intense shootouts suit local play perfectly, wherever you are.
