Survival Mode is out now!

Harness the power of dark energy as you, jump, slash, shoot and bombard your way through an army of alien soldiers and killer robots in an arcade style, action platformer with a slick 80's synthwave soundtrack.

　　Did you finish Gunborg wishing for even more action? In Survival Mode your objective is to stay alive for as long as possible in three new arenas fighting hordes of enemies. *This new mode is unlocked by finishing the main campaign.

　　

Gameplay

Move with the keyboard and aim with the mouse, or play Gunborg: Dark Matters as a twin-stick shooter using your gamepad.

　　Armed with a fierce energy blade, a powerful shield and a jetpack, you will have to traverse the many traps and hazards scattered throughout the ship and destroy any foe that stands in your way. Run, jump, and wall slide your way through a variety of levels, each with their own challenges.

　　Level the playing field by using the weapons of your fallen enemies while deflecting and blocking enemy attacks with your shield.

　　Create a combat chain by killing enemies in quick succession and become infused with dark energy that causes weapons to become more powerful and shoot differently. Collect the many info-bots scattered throughout the ship to unlock additional content, including levels and a hardcore difficulty setting.
