Devolver Digital, the company known for publishing some pretty cool indie games, has gone and acquired doinksoft, a game studio from Oregon.

You might have heard of doinksoft from their previous games, like Gato Robot and Demon Throttle. And get this, they’re also working on a new game called Gunbrella, which is coming out in 2023 for the Nintendo Switch and PC through Steam.

So what’s Gunbrella all about, you ask? Well, it’s a wild ride of a game that takes place in a world that’s super dependent on a natural resource that’s quickly running out. You play as a tough-as-nails woodsman who’s out for revenge, armed with a special weapon that’s both a gun and an umbrella (yes, you read that right).

Along the way, you’ll come across all sorts of characters, from ghouls and gangsters to cops and cultists, and you’ll have to navigate through the aftermath of corporate greed and exploitation. Sounds pretty intense, right? We can’t wait to get our hands on this one.

Key Features

• Engage in side-scrolling action combat with a focus on manoeuvrability and close-quarters gunplay. Your gun is also a movement tool. Use the umbrella to glide, swing, dash, and dive.
• Interrogate and speak to a cast of bizarre characters. What you learn is recorded in your investigative notebook.
• Manage your resources. Find scrap and spare parts to trade for different munitions and upgrades.
• Explore various locations from a small town menaced by cult kidnappings, to a junkyard-turned-fortress ruled by a trash gang, and maybe even the mythical city of Avalon, where it’s rumoured that you can still see the sky.
• Uncover the mysteries of the supernatural as wraiths and monstrosities materialize in places where blood has been shed…
