Footgun: Underground

A mecanica principal desse jogo é bem inovadora e super divertida! Fechar ele 100% teve um equilibrio perfeito de desafio e diversão, só fiquei com vontade de mais.

unplayable with kbm because your mouse disapears in shop and the only way to get your mouse back is to restart the game. happend twice in my game time, im done with this scam product

A good entry level game to the "FIGHT, DIE, REPEAT" style games. Not so easy that it becomes a slog to 100%, but not so hard that I have to check my budget to see if I can afford a new controller. 8/10 easy. Really hope they add more content in the future.

[i]Dies ist eine subjektive Meinungsäußerung[/i] [h1]Hat mir keinen Spaß gemacht[/h1] Ein neutraler Daumen wäre ok gewesen, da aber das Tutorial unnötig öde war und dann auch noch einen kleinen Bug hatte, gibt es den negativen Daumen. Das Spiel ist schon ok - nur nicht für mich.

👍

fun little roguelike that's noticeably rough around the edges. lacks depth beyond the football mechanic, but still good for a few hours of entertainment. devs seem to have moved on so it's likely never gonna get more polish. if i'd paid full price i'd feel ripped off but if it looks good to you then i'd recommend to buy on sale.

I'd really like to recommend the game, but it doesn't feel right in the current state, the movement feels wanky when you jump, like it resets the momentum, it seems like it has 3 enemy types and 3 special rooms, so not getting to the last stage in one level and starting a new run is like continuing what you just played but you are weaker. What I am trying to say is that it is way too repetitive and monotonous, even for a roguelike/lite

Footgun: Underground, developed by Turtle Knight Games and published by CobraTekku Games, is a roguelike action title that thrives on its central absurd idea: your only weapon is a high-tech ball that you kick, juggle, and ricochet through procedurally generated underground arenas. What sounds like a goofy gimmick quickly reveals itself as a surprisingly intricate combat system built on physics, timing, and improvisation. Rather than leaning on familiar guns-or-swords conventions, the game forces players to think in angles, rebounds, and controlled chaos, creating a playstyle that feels distinctly different from most modern action roguelikes. Its premise is strange, but its execution shows a clear understanding of how novelty can be turned into engaging mechanical depth. The core loop unfolds in a subterranean world divided into interconnected biomes, each designed as a short combat gauntlet filled with hazards, enemies, and occasional rewards. You navigate these levels while controlling both your movement and the flight path of your ball, which must be managed with precise kicks, charge shots, and rebounds. At first, the controls can feel clumsy — the physics demand a rhythm that takes time to internalize — but as the system clicks, the game becomes exhilarating. Landing a perfect ricochet that wipes out a cluster of enemies, or juggling the ball mid-air to line up a finishing strike, produces a sense of mastery that feels earned rather than granted. Footgun’s best moments are those in which chaos and skill intertwine, creating emergent combat scenarios shaped by split-second decision-making. Progression is built around the traditional roguelike structure: each run offers new upgrades, stat boosts, and ball variants that dramatically change combat potential. Some builds turn your ball into a rapid-fire projectile engine, others transform it into a heavy, explosive threat that requires careful positioning. The variety encourages experimentation, and the game rewards players who learn to adapt their strategy whenever a run offers an unexpected combination of enhancements. Boss fights further reinforce this experimentation, presenting patterns that force players to rethink how they use space and trajectory. While the structure remains familiar to genre veterans, the ball-based combat ensures that each run carries its own flavor of unpredictability. Visually, Footgun: Underground opts for gritty, expressive pixel art that reflects its dystopian, subterranean setting. Rooms are dim but readable, enemies are animated with personality, and the screen fills with energetic effects whenever the ball collides with targets or ricochets off metallic surfaces. The overall look strikes a balance between retro charm and clarity, ensuring the fast-paced action remains visually intelligible even when multiple elements are competing for attention. Audio design supports this clarity as well, with impactful thuds, clanks, and crash sounds that emphasize the physicality of each kick and collision — small touches that make the controls feel more tactile and satisfying. That said, the game is not free of friction. The control scheme, while creative, can initially feel unwieldy, particularly for players who rely on keyboard and mouse rather than a controller. Some rooms contain environmental hazards that are easy to overlook in the heat of battle, leading to abrupt deaths that may feel frustrating. Over time, procedural elements begin to show repetition: enemy types, room layouts, and visual patterns can blend together, reducing the sense of discovery on extended play sessions. The game also leans far more toward mechanical experimentation than narrative depth; its world is more backdrop than story, and players looking for lore or character development will not find much here. Despite these limitations, Footgun: Underground succeeds because it commits so fully to its odd concept and builds a compelling gameplay loop around it. Once the player adapts to the rhythm of juggling and directing the ball, the combat becomes a flow state of reflex, strategy, and improvisation. The upgrades enhance this flow in exciting ways, offering enough variety to keep the experience fresh across multiple runs. For players who appreciate unconventional design, kinetic action, and the discovery of mastery through practice, the game offers a distinctive and rewarding challenge. In the end, Footgun: Underground stands out among roguelikes not because it has deep storylines or sprawling worlds, but because it reimagines a single mechanic and extracts surprising richness from it. It is playful, chaotic, demanding, and inventive — the kind of indie game that takes a risk and manages to turn that risk into strength. While it may frustrate those who prefer immediate precision or narrative focus, it delivers a fresh, memorable experience for anyone willing to embrace its unconventional style of combat. Rating: 8/10

過了很久後才評論，這款第一眼我看到時候覺得非常有創意 我一開始以為可以靠運氣反彈且視覺上享受特效的爽快遊戲，但實際上那些反彈雖然照著正確物理計算，卻很難擊中怪物，讓我體驗到反彈物理實際上的殘酷，而且控球是需要練習的，這其實並不簡單，如果想要爽快遊玩小小痛苦一陣子其實還能接受，因為有個紙袋頭角色能夠快樂遊玩全部關卡 解鎖很多能力和角色後如果你是控球高手，玩任何角色都能上手，但像我這樣只想爽快玩家實際上只有紙袋頭這個角色能夠打贏所有關卡，這個角色太強以致於後面的幾個角色被解鎖出來後會讓人失望，因為那幾個角色都需要高度的控球能力和時機掌控，而且他們的強化用晶片格數比紙袋頭還要少，我只能說還好作者把紙袋頭放在前中解鎖的位置，不然我可能會放棄這遊戲，以一個普通視覺上想爽快遊玩的玩家來說，需要連續好幾百次同時掌握時機和高度控球能力去贏得關卡是非常困難的，如果能開啟"時間緩速"模式我想可以解決控球這個問題，但可惜沒有 整體上來說我還是覺得不錯，只是我到現在都有種奇妙心裡有種很癢的感覺，就是為什麼我亂踢的反彈都不會靠運氣擊中我想要的地方，那個感覺還是會在，正確的物理反射讓我又愛又恨 如果這改成是一款踢球打磚塊的遊戲我想會很爽，但是如何真的視覺和體驗上都能享受快感需要再思考了

Excellent rougelike. Keepy-up but every time you kick the ball, you do damage to enemies. Pretty short learning curve but very satisfying once you have it locked down. At 8 hours in with one full run complete under my belt, I just hit a new boss I hadn't seen, which is already more than I expected from an $11 game. Highly recommend
