GUNTOUCHABLES

A ruined world becomes a loud, desperate playground for four heavily armed doomsday preppers who finally get to use every absurd contingency plan they have stockpiled. GUNTOUCHABLES is an indie co-op roguelike shooter built around surviving mutant-infested wasteland missions where the pressure rarely lets up. Its tone balances grim apocalypse imagery with the darkly comic idea of eccentric survivalists treating civilization’s collapse as their long-awaited big moment. The result is a fast, scrappy fight for survival that rewards nerves, communication, and a willingness to take dangerous chances for better loot.

Players choose from a group of distinct survivors, head out alone or with up to three allies, and complete objectives while hostile mutant forces steadily grow more dangerous. Successful runs revolve around blasting through crowds, securing valuable UpCrates, and bringing home cash and perks that strengthen the team for the escalating challenge ahead. Loot is never simply handed over: grabbing rewards can mean pushing deeper into danger, so squads must decide when to play safely and when to gamble on a stronger build. Between missions, the whole group votes on enemy mutations from a randomized selection, deliberately giving the horde new abilities in exchange for useful immediate bonuses or longer-term advantages.

That mutation-voting system is the game’s clearest hook, because players actively shape the nightmare they are trying to survive rather than merely reacting to fixed enemy upgrades. It creates tense arguments and interesting build planning in co-op, especially when one appealing reward could make the next encounter dramatically worse. The mission-based roguelike format also suits repeat sessions, with shifting choices encouraging experimentation instead of a single perfect strategy. Fans of the frantic teamwork of Risk of Rain 2, the escalating chaos of vampire-survival shooters, or co-op horde games will find plenty to like, while newcomers should be ready for a demanding pace where greedy decisions can end a run quickly.
