Megabonk gets a Spooky update with a new map, a new character, and much more

Mike Holmes

Megabonk has proven to be one of my most-played games of the year, and I reckon it’s time to play some more after a new Spooky update just dropped. A little early for Halloween, maybe, but who cares!?

The new update includes a whole bunch of freshly-pressed content for players to enjoy. The highlights are undoubtedly the new character (pictured below) and the new map; however, there are also new items, enemies, bosses, and there’s a new weapon to unlock.

There have also been a bunch of technical tweaks and performance enhancements, particularly in terms of late-game frame rates. There’s a detailed breakdown, including a few interesting bits about balancing over on Steam, if you care for the extra detail.

Finally, if you’re a Megabonk fan looking for something that will scratch a similar itch, you’ll find some suggestions in my guide to bullet heaves, auto shooters, and survivors-likes.

Still with me? Of course you are! If you want to keep reading about great hand-picked roguelikes, this website is absolutely chock-full of them. Head over to the Guides Page for a concentrated hit of roguish games, organised via sub-genre and platform.

What’s more, there are always going to be new lists for emerging trends as well as fresh titles to highlight. This is because my backlog is embarrassingly long, and so I’m always trying to balance the new games that arrive in my inbox with playing the stuff I already have.
