About This Game

You’re a dwarf with a bagful of explosions, ready to blow up everything in your way.
Drop a keg. Light the fuse. Get out of the way.

Kick kegs down lanes, launch them into enemies, smash through obstacles, and set off massive chain reactions.

Everything in the arena can be blown up.

Including you.
Including your friends.

CUSTOMIZE YOUR DWARF

Choose from different body types, skin tones, eyes, beards, tattoos, armor, outfits, and keg skins.
Make your dwarf your own before heading back to the fight.

PLAY WITH FRIENDS

BLASTARD! supports up to 4 players, either online through Steam or locally on one screen.
Play a run together, compete in DEATHMATCH, or test your luck in MINESWEEPER with many more game modes to come!

BECOME UNSTOPPABLE

Kill enemies, grab XP, and choose from random upgrades every time you level up.
Each level-up gives you two passive choices and one keg upgrade, with refreshes available if you want another hand.

Pump your keg full of damage, crits, blast radius, extra charges, and shorter fuses.
Your keg build carries through the whole run across six upgrade lines: damage, crit chance, crit damage, quantity, blast radius, and fuse, with five rarity tiers.

Stack passives, hoard items, and equip active abilities to go from a normal dwarf to the most dangerous Blastard!

PROCEDURALLY GENERATED RUNS

Fight through procedurally generated arenas across different themes, from deep mines and goblin junkyards to open space.
Break crates, collect loot, fight elites and bosses, find the key, and reach the exit to continue your run.
You get one life. Elites have triple health and a special effect, while bosses bring their own explosives & abilities.
Each run gives you new opportunities to build around different kegs, upgrades, items, and abilities.
