Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Gunlocked 2 is my largest game ever, with my longest development schedule. As a solo developer, player engagement and feedback is the perfect way to help me decide what to make next, and what still needs work without falling victim to personal bias over such a long period.

Gunlocked 2 is all about player choice, customization, and replayability, and I want your help with all of it. From upgrades, to bosses, achievements, and more, your feedback will help me create and test a wide variety of new content (and possibly even modes).”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“The plan is for 7-9 months of additional development in Early Access.”

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

“I plan to add a huge variety of new content including (but not limited to): weapons, pilots, ships, events, enemies, bosses, achievements, and music.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current version includes a full gameplay loop from start to finish with multiple bosses, playable characters, and dozens upon dozens of upgrades. There's more content than is possible to try in a single playthrough.

There is also a Simulator Mode that allows players to practice with all of the content they've previously unlocked to master boss fights, and create unimaginable builds.”

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

“I plan to increase the price of Gunlocked 2 when it's ready to exit Early Access.”

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

“The community will have the opportunity to communicate directly with me through the Steam forums or externally on Discord to offer suggestions for new content, new features, and balance changes.

I treat the development of each of my games like a dialog with my players, both literally and figuratively.”

About This Game

Movement is your weapon. A sci-fi action roguelike and shmup combined, in Gunlocked 2 you'll pilot and upgrade a state-of-the-art warship against endless waves of deadly aliens. Deep customization, branching paths, and tons of unlockables offer endless replayability set against the infinity of outer space.

What's New in the Sequel?

  • Expanded Customization: More unique pilots, unlockable warships with their own strengths and weaknesses, and a hugely expanded upgrade system offer new creative freedom.

    • Weapon Mastery: Each pilot has masterful command over their starting weapon, giving them a unique weapon variant no other pilot has access to.

    • Pilot Skills: Pilots start with a unique ability, not tied to any equipment slots or weapons, giving them a flair all their own.

    • Augments: Unlock and equip up to 6 ability modifiers before you start your run. Will you cover your weaknesses or lean into your strengths? Collect data discs to upgrade their power even further for higher difficulty runs.

    • Warships: No longer just cosmetic, unlockable ships allow you to further focus your play-style, bringing their own stats and strengths to the battle

    • Utilities: Discover common, uncommon, and rare upgrades that you can stack infinitely to create the perfect build. Make trades with special characters to refine your builds like never before.

  • Refined Control: Every ship comes equipped with an active dodge ability for getting out of the most dangerous situations. And 360-degree analog movement brings Gunlocked out of the retro era and firmly into the present.

  • Branching Paths: Periodically choose a warp gate and seamlessly jump to your chosen destination without ever pausing the gameplay. Different zones offer unique battles and rewards. Every run offers new choices!

  • Play How You Want: The games are longer in Gunlocked 2, but divided into smaller sections that you can save and resume from. Play for 2 minutes or 20, Gunlocked 2 fits perfectly into whatever free time you have. But beware! Death is still permanent.

  • Modular Difficulty: Difficulty modifiers now come in multiple levels, and can make the game as hard or as easy as you'd like. Modifiers can do everything from customizing enemy projectile speeds to adding brand new challenges to the battle.

  • Glorious Pixel Art Revolution: Huge, full color sprites with detailed animations make every bullet, bomb, and laser explode with style. Gunlocked 2 is a massive leap forward in pixel art  spectacle.
