Ready for some nihilistic action-platforming? How about if it’s remastered? Well, Nongunz: Doppelganger Edition will be sorting you out on both fronts, and it’s coming soon to Xbox One, PS4, Nintendo Switch and PC.
Created by the development team at Brainwash Gang, and published by Digerati, Nongunz: Doppelganger Edition is a fully remastered version of the original Nongunz, with it now featuring a new Arena and local cooperative capabilities.
Rebuilt from the ground-up, Nongunz: Doppelganger Edition will be coming to Xbox One, PS4, Nintendo Switch and PC in Q3 2020, giving players the opportunity to embark on a totally unforgiving action platformer in which the entire experience comes across as a bit of a riddle. First having launched on PC back in 2017 – before seeing the then publisher disappear without trace – the new Doppelganger Edition will also feature as part of the upcoming Steam Game Festival, running between 16th-22nd June, with a closed beta planned for shortly after that event.
Brainwash Gang’s Edu Verzinsky, founder and developer at the Madrid-based developer, explains more about the remastered Nongunz: “The Doppelganger Edition adds a co-op mode and a new arena mode. We have also tweaked some enemies in order to greatly lower the player’s suffering. We hope console players will welcome it as a challenge, as we know it is one of the hardest games to beat in the market. “That being said, our goal has always been to make a 100% fair game, so it is in the players’ hands and ability to complete it and share their knowledge about the game.”
In Nongunz: Doppelganger Edition you will find that each run will have you emerging from a black and white graveyard into an ever-changing gothic dungeon, one that is chock full of nightmares fleshed out of human viscera. It’ll be up to you to survive, yet working through this distraught roguelike will not only require skill but style, since Nongunz rewards you for long-lasting combos and challenges. Yep, your score will play a key role in the progress of the idle game: the formation of your very own band of lost souls and death cultists.
And than, as the world of Nongunz evolves you will get the opportunity to meet special characters that will inhabit your graveyard. Expect to stumble upon the likes of praying cultists, self-scourging martyrs, and somber gravediggers, all of whom will either help you widen your killing skills or improve the performance of the insidious idle game built around the graveyard.
Key features include:
- Unforgiving gameplay that will challenge both your skill and your wits
- The whole game is a riddle. Unveil the mystery behind the nihilistic universe of Nongunz
- Beautifully crafted black and white pixel environments and characters
- Hundreds of levels plagued with dozens of different enemies
- Many weapons, items and equipment to unlock and master
- The potential to change your perception about existence, violence, and mankind
- New for the Doppelganger Edition! Join forces with your double in Local Co-op mode
- New for the Doppelganger Edition! Survive an eternity of enemies in Arena mode
