What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“As a small, 3-people indie team, we decided that the faster we involve players, the faster we’ll receive the correct feedback and make the best changes possible. A community is one of the things that will considerably boost the development process.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

““Hopefully, Gunswitch will launch in 2025. However, there’s not a certain release date as there are a lot of features we want in the end product, and our success will determine how much will be in the game. There are lots of small parts and variables that will add up and count towards a more polished game.””

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

  • More weapon types.
  • More weapon mods. We want modifications to allow players to make builds with different team synergies: Damage over time builds, lifesteal builds, critical builds, stun crowd control etc.
    Character skills: Turrets, heals, barricades and shields, dodge and dashes, melee attacks.
  • More enemies with different types of attacks, behavior and themes.
  • New, larger levels, so the horde will have the space for their new attack patterns.
    We want to experiment with objective based missions, which will have more progression than defending and surviving waves.
  • Balance and progression updates.
  • Story updates. Cyborgs will have much more to tell you about themselves and about Cerberus, your space prison.

    We will release a roadmap with more details soon.

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The essential systems required for the core gameplay are ready. Now it’s time to fill them up with more content and polish them.
There are 30+ weapons with 10+ types of modifiers which can stack and change how a gun works.
There will be 4 levels available at first, but the number will quickly rise to 10+ during early access and you will be able to play multiple scenarios in them.
"Monster type" enemies are ready, and the horde will chase you like hell.
There is a squad system, where you will have NPC's that will help you.
There is local co-op, where your friends can drop-in or out to take control of your squadmates immediately.

However, content-wise we are not halfway done to achieve our vision. Sadly, lack of time and funding plays a large part in this. we hope you will support us along the way.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“Early access version will be cheaper. We would like to thank our early supporters for helping us during the development. The price will stay constant during early access and rise after launch.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Steam forums, Discord and any other way you can reach us, like our website. Not only will we listen to your feedback, we are also excited to see how players play our game.”

About This Game

Gunswitch is a game that yearns for more! Thousands of monsters, ten thousands of bullets on-screen! Action packed with blood and explosions, mixed with the weight of realistic movement to capture the thrill of a fluidly approaching horde, skittering and slumbering in to get you. Steel yourselves for carnage! Steel won’t bleed, but cut through flesh.

Fight through massive armies, not only strong in numbers but in variety. You’ll come across enemies of all types and kinds, tough and muscular, fast and nimble, multitudes of bugs, giant lava monsters, or smarter humanoid species.

Monsters might decide to stick around with others like packs of wolves, make formations to increase their chances and as waves pass like tides of oceanic hell, they will get stronger.

Do anything to avoid your destruction. Run and herd them or push and knock them around with sheer force of firepower and explosions. This will be a case of natural selection. Hopefully it will be on your side.

Grab guns and upgrade them into sci-fi weapons of total mayhem. With modifications even a regular rifle can fire more projectiles, explosive bullets and have increased fire rate or higher stats all around. When one isn’t enough, get a new one!

Operate pawns, a squad of androids, equip each of them with these weapons, and there’s no limit to synergies and pure damage you might come across. Don’t worry, they will cover you automatically and you can switch between characters at will. They act like extra lives!

A future society of humans-turned-androids are locked in a facility called Cerberus. A space station designed to keep and research galactic level threats. Explore its each level filled with horrible dangers and help them get out.

  • A fluid, dangerous horde of monsters.

  • Guns with wild modifications that can shoot thousands of bullets!

  • Control a squad of androids that can cover you automatically. Or just use them as spare bodies.

  • Switch guns and characters on the spot to adapt, experiment and create new builds.

  • Escape Cerberus, a space prison with many levels and facilities.

  • Easy Local Co-Op, just plug in a controller and play as a squad member, drop in and out.

We are excited to announce our debut game, Gunswitch. We can’t wait to hear the player feedback, and see what kind of new ideas will come out of it. Please add Gunswitch to your Wishlist and Follow us to stay in tune with the development. Thank you!
