Overview

GUNHEAD is a thrilling FPS roguelite developed and published by Alientrap. Players take on the role of privateers, tasked with boarding and neutralizing procedurally generated alien starships. The core objective is to earn income for your enterprise by destroying the ship's central System Core, overcoming a variety of cybernetic monstrosities, robotic defenses, and security systems that stand in your way.

This title expands upon the strategic, fast-paced 2D gameplay of Alientrap's previous work, Cryptark, by translating it into a dynamic first-person shooter experience. The alien arks are decaying, adding a sense of urgency to each mission.
