Go Ahead, Make My Doomsday! Guntouchables is out now - and it’s free to own for 24hrs
Today, Ghost Ship Publishing, the publisher behind Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor, alongside the developers at Game Swing have launched Guntouchables, the doomsday cooperative action-roguelike, on Steam. Playing alone or in groups of up to four preppers, take on the end of the world and gun down throngs of mutants on a murderous rampage.
After an experiment gone awry, Guntouchables finds players in a post-apocalyptic wasteland that has been overrun with a multitude of bloodthirsty mutants. This would be a bad thing…had a group of ragtag survivors not been preparing for the disaster of their dreams. Guns blazing, they’ll need to mangle these monstrosities in the hopes of reclaiming the planet, collecting supplies and upcrates along the way to amp-up their arsenal of weapons. Bringing the classic roguelike gameplay loop to a new level, the heavily-armed preppers of Guntouchables will earn meta progression for these heroes and their enemies.
Preppers ready to start putting their stockpile of courage to use for the launch of Guntouchables can look forward to a variety of features:
Bring a friend to the end - Tackle this undertaking alone or assemble a motley crew of misfits, with cooperative play enabled for up to four preppers in a bid to survive an apocalypse overrun with 19 different kinds of mutants.
Four unconventional heroes - Play as “Big Bang” Barry Backhausen the Commando, Linda the Scout, Dr Marcus to Doctor, or Alfred the Sharpshooter, each with their own special skills to get the upper hand against hostile adversaries.
Supercharged survivors and evolving enemies - Collect upcrates, packed with Cash and an array of 65 different Perks, in the wastelands to improve the odds against an onslaught of carnage. But players won’t only upgrade themselves, between stages, they’ll have to vote on what advantages their mutant antagonists will bring to the next level.
Quintessential apocalyptic quests - Surviving the apocalypse is never linear, so preppers will need to complete missions in order to move forward. Amongst these, they can expect to revive radio towers, loot warehouses for toilet paper and assemble sentry guns.
Scavenge, shop, and scramble to survive - Scattered in the wasteland for preppers to find are an array of supplies including med kits, minigun turrets, and energy drinks. When the floors are looking a little bare for necessities, however, preppers can shop for hard-earned abilities, upgrades and a range of 19 different firearms.
“We’re excited to be launching Guntouchables, and we can’t wait for the community to experience the mayhem that awaits them in the wastelands,” said Martin Kai Sommer, CEO of Game Swing. “Creating entertaining multiplayer experiences has been a core goal for our studio, and we’re grateful to have worked with the amazing team at Ghost Ship Publishing who share our aim of delivering games that bring people together.”
Guntouchables is available right now on Steam, free to own for the first 24 hours at launch, before being priced at $4.99 / €4.99 / £4.49.
