After giving away their game Guntouchables during the day of its release, developer Game Swing has confirmed an impressive number of post-apocalyptic survivors took up arms and joined the fight.
In fac, two million people grabbed the game on Steam in the previous 24 hours. That’s not too shabby for an unheralded indie! Here’s what the head Guntouchable at Game Swing, Martin Kai Sommer, had to say on the matter:
“Giving the game away for free was a huge gamble for us. As an indie studio, it is incredibly difficult to capture people’s attention, and we really believed in Guntouchables’ quality.
“We have been blown away by the positive response from players, and we have worked hard to deliver a game that both loyalists and new players can enjoy for years to come. This is the perfect game to bring a friend to, so we hope to see more people join the apocalypse from here on out!”
If you missed out on the co-op shooter while it was gratis, then fret not as the game can still be purchased for the price of a couple of beers over on Steam.
Original: I’m going to keep this briefer than I would normally, because although I’m currently working on some launch day impressions of Guntouchables, the new post-apocalyptic co-op shooter from Game Swing, there’s some breaking news that you should probably know!
The reason for my brevity is the time-limited nature of the news that Guntouchables is currently free-to-keep for anyone who grabs the game within the first 24 hours. Starting any minute now through until this time tomorrow (August 8, 10am CEST), you can grab it gratis over on the Steam (Windows).
Guntouchables is an isometric co-op shooter with plenty of Saturday night cartoon swagger, about a gang of unlikely survivors who are on the hunt for gear and beer in the post apocalypse.
Together or with up to three of your favourite most readily available friends, you can take on short extraction based missions and other co-op challenges, with plenty of build tweaking and levelling to do between levels.
I’ll be back later tomorrow with my impressions, but you don’t really have to wait for my thoughts on this one given the gracious nature of the launch day giveaway of Guntouchables over on Steam.
If you would like to read something while it downloads, however, I played Guntouchables earlier this year, and you can read my demo impressions right here.
