Gunborg: Dark Matters is a slick, retro arcade-style, action-packed platformer where you a take on an army of alien soldiers and killer robots while making your way through a giant spaceship.

Set in space and accompanied by a slick 80’s-style synthwave soundtrack, you'll use a fierce blade and a powerful shield to fight your way through a mad alien spaceship filled with a variety of traps, hazards, aliens and robots that you must surpass in your mission to capture your deadly targets that await your arrival.

Armed with a fierce energy blade, a powerful shield and jetpack, you will have to traverse the many traps and hazards scattered throughout the ship and destroy any foe that stands between you and your targets. Run, jump, and wall slide your way through a variety of levels each with their own challenges and dangers.

Level the playing field by equipping the weapons of your fallen enemies and using them against the alien army while using your shield to deflect and block enemy attacks and spike hazards.

Show your skills and create a combat chain by killing enemies in quick succession and become infused with dark energy causing weapons to become more powerful and shoot differently. Find and collect the many info-bots scattered throughout the ship to unlock additional content including levels and an additional difficulty setting.

Do you have what it takes to keep on your feet in the heat of combat against constant threats? Can you keep your cool when chaos is descending upon you?


A playable PC demo is available on Steam.
