Gunborg: Dark Matters

Gunborg: Dark Matters is an arcade-style twin-stick shooter set aboard a giant spaceship filled with traps, hazards, aliens and robots. You run, jump and wall-slide through levels with their own challenges, using a fierce energy blade, a powerful shield and a jetpack to get through the ship and defeat its enemies.

Combat and movement

The controls let you platform while aiming in 360°. You can use a keyboard and mouse or a gamepad. Pick up weapons dropped by fallen enemies, and use your shield to block and deflect attacks back at them. The shield can also let you surf across an otherwise impassable runway of spikes.

Kill enemies in quick succession to build a combat chain and accumulate points. A high chain infuses you with dark energy, making weapons more powerful and changing how they shoot. The game uses a fast respawn cycle and fair, well-placed checkpoints to get you back into the action after a death.

Unlockable content

Collect info-bots scattered throughout the ship to unlock additional content, including levels and a Hardcore difficulty setting. Finishing the game also unlocks Survival Mode, where you fight hordes of enemies.
