This isn't news to anyone who's been paying attention for the past few decades, but the world is coming to an end and we're all gonna burn. Best be prepared for the inevitable apocalypse by stocking up on guns, food, and most of all, toilet paper—and it wouldn't hurt to have a few friends at your side, too.

That's the situation in Guntouchables, the new 4-player co–op roguelite from developer Game Swing and Ghost Ship Publishing. Grab your guns and pals and take on waves of mutants and monsters while scouring the post-apocalyptic landscape for important supplies like beer, beans, and TP, upgrading your gear and abilities along the way.

GUNTOUCHABLES - Narrated Trailer - FREE Until Aug 8, 10AM CEST - YouTube

Watch On

The world is full of gross monsters, and the kicker is that while you're picking out upgrades for yourself, you also have to choose upgrades for the mutants. Would you like it if monsters explode when they die, or if they start spitting poison at you, or maybe evolve the ability to heal themselves? None of those sound great to me, but you've gotta choose whichever sounds the least bad for you and your friends.

Guntouchables has a pretty flexible difficulty system, too, so if you're finding it too hard (or too easy) you can tweak settings for enemy damage, HP, speed, shop prices, how much medkits heal, and even how long each mission lasts.

And just to stress this again: it's completely free and yours forever if you download it before 1:00 am PDT. Head over to Steam and grab it like it's the last roll of TP on the shelf.

Chris started playing PC games in the 1980s, started writing about them in the early 2000s, and (finally) started getting paid to write about them in the late 2000s. Following a few years as a regular freelancer, PC Gamer hired him in 2014, probably so he'd stop emailing them asking for more work. Chris has a love-hate relationship with survival games and an unhealthy fascination with the inner lives of NPCs. He's also a fan of offbeat simulation games, mods, and ignoring storylines in RPGs so he can make up his own.
