Gunslinger Studios spun out of Industrial Toys to focus on short-session, mid-core mobile games. Its first title, Exiles of Embermark, is a one-handed, one-thumb mobile battle RPG built in Unreal Engine that stages quick turn-based duels. The company has eight employees, all of whom came from Industrial Toys, and is positioning a broader platform for multiplayer games, esports, and live narratives driven by player actions. Exiles of Embermark features deep gear loadouts, 13 customization slots per character, PvP duels, PvE missions across a dynamic fantasy map, and an endless loot/crafting loop. The game was approaching beta testing and expected availability in summer 2017. Gunslinger raised capital to support development and competitive/esports ambitions in the crowded mobile market.
