Players will take on the role of daring survivors known as “Nimrods” in a post-apocalyptic world teeming with deadly enemies, wild environments, and scarce resources.
As a Gun Manufacturer's testing force, your mission is simple: test the latest gun tech and scavenge alien planets. Collect insane weapon parts to invent crazy guns that slay thousands.
What sets NIMRODS apart is its deep weapon-crafting mechanics, allowing players to customize and build firearms from the ground up, with endless combinations to suit different playstyles.
You may not survive, but your guns will!
NIMRODS: GunCraft Survivor is available through Steam Early Access, with regular content updates, new maps, and weaponry planned for post-launch.
“Honestly, the game is pretty loaded, I’m sure many people wouldn’t scoff if we actually called this a 1.0 release! The game already has more content than many in this genre:
- 14 gun chassis, most of which sport their own unique mechanics.
- 174 augments in 29 different lines. That’s 286,720 final combinations, or 80 over billion combinations in total!
- 10 unique rank-and-file enemies with 10 variations each.
- 7 unique minibosses.
- Two unique bosses.
- Four different stores spanning eight different kinds of currency, each found from a different source.
- A handcrafted map (no procedural or AI generation!) that’s larger than any other in the genre.
- Many types of things for you to find as you explore ranging from ancient defense systems to plants that need to be protected to scavenged technological marvels for you to rebuild and claim as your own.
- A “drone” system that lets you play alongside one of your old runs, reborn into a mechanical body!
- A customization system for the drone that lets you adjust its AI an abilities to better support you in your runs.
- Two characters with a choice of abilities.
- A genetic upgrade system that lets you power yourself up in permanent ways between runs.
- A drop pod system whereby your upgrades are delivered to you via heavy, upgradable ordinance!
- An extensive library of quests to complete and earn rewards for.
- Plenty of polish, such as music, sound effects, and visual effects.
- Ten hours of content if you rush the main missions. Over a hundred if you want to fully upgrade yourself. Near-infinite if you want to try out all the possible combinations of guns you’ve got access to…
- And MORE! (We’re not kidding. There’s some stuff we don’t want to mention here because it will be more fun if you discover it for yourself in game!)
Given all the content we’ve packed into this Early Access, we’re confident that even if we never lift another finger to work on this game (as though anything could keep us from pursuing our dreams!) you will still get your money’s worth from what is in the game right now, at this very moment.”
“The core loop is fully implemented and engaging, but there's still room for so many interesting systems! We want to make sure that our priorities are informed by the needs and interests of the players, meaning that we hesitate to make concrete plans until we’ve gathered information on how you all are receiving the game. Even then, there are a few things we are sure we want to put in:
- More guns
- More augments
- Another augment slot
- A bigger map with more areas
- More enemies
- More minibosses
- More genes
- More characters
- A higher implicit level cap
Besides new content, we’re hoping to add several new systems to the game. Ideally, these systems will rise up to meet the needs of the players. Do players love planning routes from point-of-interest to point-of-interest? Maybe we’ll make an expanded map and waypoint system. Do players love collecting guns more than selling them? Maybe we need a better inventory management system for the homeship. But either of those systems would be a waste of time if nobody asks for them. We’ll have plenty of time before release to make the game awesome, and we look forward to seeing where your feedback and data will take us!”
