Sky Gunner is a hidden gem of the PlayStation 2 library, offering a unique blend of high-flying action, colorful anime-inspired visuals, and inventive gameplay.

With its cel-shaded art style and whimsical storytelling, Sky Gunner delivers a refreshing twist on aerial combat.

Over time, Sky Gunner has earned recognition as a cult favorite among PS2 collectors thanks to its originality, artistic presentation, and relatively limited distribution.
