Gunstoppable is the new adrenaline-fueled roguelike with Ultrakill's Gabriel voice actor

Gunstoppable, a new action roguelike, delivers the same head-empty, unbridled joy as Ultrakill, according to early impressions. The game features the voice actor known for playing Gabriel in Ultrakill, adding to its appeal for fans of the genre.

The core gameplay revolves around high-speed movement across various maps using grappling hooks, sliding, and wall running. Players dual-wield weapons, ranging from automatic rifles and knives to rocket launchers, as they tear through waves of robotic enemies. The narrative, while not Pulitzer-worthy, sets a clear goal: save your family and take down the evil billionaire ruling class, including the CEO who turned the protagonist into a killing machine.

As players progress through levels, they earn random weapon upgrades from a pool of bonuses. Basic upgrades include Adrenaline Shot, which doubles attack speed after taking damage, and Rocket Recoil, which adds knockback to any attack and launches the player back when firing. More niche upgrades allow for specialized builds, encouraging experimentation and replayability.

The game is designed for those who want to switch off their brain and enjoy pure, reflex-based action. It emphasizes muscle memory and bloodlust over strategic thinking, positioning itself as a worthy addition to the rotation alongside Ultrakill for players seeking adrenaline-pumping combat. Gunstoppable promises to scratch that itch for mindless, fast-paced destruction.
