Our take on Footgun: Underground
Rather than giving the player a gun, spell, or sword, the game makes a kicked ball the central weapon. Its combat depends on ricochets, room geometry, and enemy movement, turning ball control into the main skill within a roguelike run structure.
What is Footgun: Underground?
Footgun: Underground is a roguelike action game where a cybernetic leg and a futuristic ball replace conventional weapons.
Players move through randomly assembled rooms in an underground labyrinth, using angles, room layouts, and enemy behavior to strike creatures and bosses. Runs include equipment improvements through stackable chips, multiple characters, and different balls that support varied builds and playstyles. The setting combines pixel art, post-apocalyptic environments, distinct biotopes, and dangerous challenges. Death is part of the structure, with progress depending on learning ball control and combining upgrades. The game also includes unusual elements such as piñatas.
