Full Gear

Full Gear is a steampunk-style roguelike about exploring a dangerous underground area with goggles, guns and gadgets. You learn how its systems and enemies work through repeated runs, with turn-based combat and permadeath in Traditional Mode, which has no progression. Modern Mode adds gradual unlocks for item sets, boosts and Toolboxes. You play as Devi, who is trying to find something below ground, though the goal is easy to forget.

Explore the depths

The game spans eight sprawling areas contained in one giant room. You encounter more than 50 animated pixel-art enemies, six main bosses and one final boss. Six NPCs have their own stories and make-shift shops, and may have information or useful things to offer. The game also includes 30 achievements.

Items and unlocks

More than 300 items have their own capabilities, combinations and strengths. You can equip, throw and shoot them, or use them to learn and build; crafting is not required. In Modern Mode, you track in-game Goals to unlock items, which interact with the game's mechanics. Traditional Mode makes all items available from the start, and Goals are purely cosmetic.

Six Toolboxes, a run tracker and a seeding system let you personalize runs. You can also choose from nine Boosts and nine Challenges to make the game easier or harder.

Build and deploy drones

Collect Parts and combine them at local Drone Stations to create Drones. They roam near you, distracting and attacking threats. You can assemble machines from different parts, such as a fast robot with three flamethrowers or a companion called Randy equipped with a taser.

Cogwheels and Tokens

Your cogwheel represents your essence. When a Token reaches the top of the wheel, it activates its effect: healing you, shielding you, granting a critical hit or Scrap, or allowing a Drone to fire. You can rearrange Wheel Tokens to change their order and effects.

Swap cogwheels to gain more slots, stacked slots, special tokens or increased regeneration, which raises your active capacity. Larger cogwheels provide more slots, but each slot activates less often.
