Publisher Devolver Digital together with the development team at Doinksoft, the team behind the likes of Gato Roboto, Demon Throttle, have confirmed their noir-punk action adventure game Gunbrella will be available on the PC and Nintendo Switch starting 13 September 2023. The game’s digital purchase price will be $21.95 AUD, however as an added bonus for those who pre-order, you will receive Doinksoft’s Gato Roboto for free – to tide you over a couple more weeks.
Gunbrella is pitched as a “gritty side-scrolling adventure set in a world dependent on a rapidly diminishing natural resource”. You fill the shoes of a woodsman hell-bent on revenge, entering an unfamiliar town armed only with the titular Gunbrella, a high-caliber firearm that doubles as an umbrella. As you proceed through your quest, the investigation quickly becomes entangled with the inner workings of a creepy cabal of ghouls and gangsters, cops and cultists, and the fallout of corporate exploitation.
Promoted features of Gunbrella include:
