GunZ: The Duel (Korean: 건즈 온라인), or simply GunZ, was an online third-person shooting game,[1] originally created by South Korean-based MAIET Entertainment and currently owned by MasangSoft.[2] [3]

It was free-to-play, with a microtransaction business model for purchasing premium in-game items. The game allowed players to perform exaggerated, gravity-defying action moves, including wall running, stunning, tumbling, and blocking bullets with swords, in the style of action films and anime.
