About this gameFull description from Steam
Scraped together mid-escape, this motley crew consists of the Iron Bucket Knight, the Explosive Cutie, the One-Eyed Codger, the Money Whiz, and a mysterious nun picked up by the roadside... Every single one of them is deathly afraid of kicking the bucket, yet they have no choice but to grab their guns and face the fight head-on! Your mission is to flee the island within 12 hours. But as you reach the coastline,a despair-inducing Storm Wall blocks your path. As the monsters multiply, a dark conspiracy slowly begins to unravel... Fancy weapons, special Weapon Parts, Relic fusion, Tarot Cards, elemental effects, random events... Every pickup is another experiment in weapon customization. Stack up Projectiles and become a "Fireworks Master", or pour everything into a single shot and melt an entire health bar—your weapons, your rules. [Shatter], [Embarkation], [Growth], [Final Shot], [Disruption]... There is no single right answer—only increasingly outrageous combinations. Mix and match them to create Transmutation chains, endless Ultimates, looping triggers, exponential damage scaling, and more. Every time your build comes together, it turns into a wildly satisfying run you will not want to put down. As you venture deeper, [Character Talents] and [Team Talents] will help you grow ever stronger. Higher difficulties bring tougher enemies—and better drop rates. They also unlock the unique [Chaos Battle Scar] mode, where every Battle Scar comes with both a boon and a curse. High risk, high reward. Harness the boons, master the curses, and forge a one-of-a-kind ultimate build that pushes beyond the limits! Multiplayer has everything you would expect: clutch saves, item swapping, and fighting through tough encounters together... But the real fun is farming up quietly in the early game, then surging ahead to overtake everyone in damage later! Check the DPS rankings—who is the true damage king of your squad, and who is the poor soul stuck doing all the thankless work as the team's "support bot"? Join the Community / Discord! If you’ve found bugs, want to share suggestions, or just feel like showing off your insanely cool build—our Discord is the best place to do it!
