History

Boons & Burdens is the spiritual successor to the shmup, Gunlocked. Taking all of the lessons learned, and requested features that couldn't make it into that game, Boons & Burdens was shaped into a refined action roguelike that anyone can pick up and play with 20-30 minutes to spare.

Features

  • bullet heaven survival
  • twin-stick shooter
  • roguelite
  • retro arcade style
  • phenomenal cosmic power
  • juicy pixel art
  • casual auto-aim mode
