20 itemsAbout the Game
An action roguelike top-down shooter. Bullet heaven vs bullet hell, man against demon hordes. Loot countless powerful guns to annihilate your foes by the thousands, and use the power of runes to get even stronger. Trapped in an infinite spanning astral plane filled with innumerable hordes of murderous demons stalking your every move - things clearly aren't looking great. But, at least The Gun is Good. Traverse strange dimensions, battle increasingly powerful and numerous foes in ever changing environments to try to find a way back home.
The demons are many, but The Gun is Good. Use your arsenal of powerful (to extremely powerful) guns to obliterate anything that stands in your path. Be it demon or solid wall. The demons hold runes - the currency of the astral.
Traverse maps of strange dimensions with different layouts and properties every time you play. Choose a safer path with lesser rewards or test your skills for greater boons. Enter both dangerous and safe areas to finally reach and challenge mighty demon lords.
Loot or purchase dozens of different guns with wildly varying properties, strengths, and weaknesses. Further enhanced with dozens of modifications that changes their power and abilities. The combinations are astronomical.
Discover different items that can be used to further help you on your journeys.
Runes have many different uses, use them to power up your character with dozens of different rune powers. Purchase items, guns and ammo. Find ways to craft modifications onto your guns to increase their power even further.
