Fireshine Games :

LONDON, UK – June 9, 2024 – Become the ultimate fighting frigate in Gunboat God, a super-stylish ship-based shoot ‘em up from developer Janson RAD and publisher Fireshine Games, blasting onto Steam in early 2026.

Discover an entirely new take on the phrase ‘wave-based combat’ in this energetic arcade shooter, where players take to the seas in a fast-moving, quick-firing gunboat across hundreds of instantly gratifying micro-missions.

Upgrade and transform your gunboat with superpowered weapons, skills and abilities, riding the waves of a savage swampland and wild water worlds with dynamic, fluid movement. Fend off monsters above and below water in compulsive, pick-up-and-play gameplay, keeping your gunboat afloat with skilful sailing and powerful new abilities.

Sail the seas as you surf, jet, dive, and fight against supersized bosses and relentless enemy hordes. Evolve your gunboat and equip your ship with powerful new weaponry and abilities in ultra-fast combat across a huge variety of levels and objectives.

“Gunboat God is a fluid shoot ‘em-up – quite literally! – that combines strategic thinking with a compulsive ‘one-more-go’ gameplay loop and super stylish visuals,” said Rob Feather, Product Manager at Fireshine Games. “We can’t wait for the game to make a splash with shmup fans and players looking to dive into an all-new action-shooter when it shoots onto Steam in 2026.”
