About the game
You enter a fortress in search of a gun that can change the past. Each attempt sends you through a new arrangement of rooms, shops and bosses. You shoot living ammunition, roll through incoming bullets and flip tables for cover. New weapons change how you fight, while hidden rooms and rescued characters give you reasons to keep looking around.
Two players can tackle the dungeon together locally on PC and consoles. You share the view and have to keep track of each other as the room fills with shots. The mobile edition adds native online co-op. Steam Remote Play Together streams the local mode instead. Expect repeated failed attempts, careful dodging and decisions about which guns to keep.
