Gunslayer: Roguelite Shooter

Introduction

Gunslayer: Roguelite Shooter, made by developer owndev, is a top-down dungeon action game where firearms and blade work sit side by side. You move from room to room cutting down enemies, picking up whatever weapons and relics turn up, and eventually squaring off against the bosses guarding the deeper floors. Hero abilities round out your kit, so combat is not just about shooting — you have melee options and a character skill to weave in as well. The structure rewards repeated attempts. Coins you collect during a run can be put toward permanent upgrades afterward, and fresh heroes become available over time, which means a rough attempt still moves you forward. You can play with keyboard and mouse, or on a phone or tablet using two on-screen sticks and action buttons. There are no ads and no account to set up. Your progress, including a run you have not finished, is kept locally in the browser. Come back in the same browser and you can carry on. Clearing site data or browsing privately can erase that save, and since there is no cloud synchronization, your progress stays tied to that one browser.
