About This Game
A retro-inspired 2D bullet hell roguelite where you pilot a customizable ship, scavenge enemy cores to upgrade your arsenal, and chase bounties across a high-stakes space rogue odyssey.
Detailed Description
You're Captain Cole Hunter - broke, hunted, and heavily armed.
In this retro-fueled space roguelite, blast through bullet hell gauntlets, collect enemy cores to upgrade your ship, and repay a galaxy-sized debt to a syndicate that wants your hide more than your money.
The longer you fly, the hotter the chase gets. Make every shot count... or default in flames.
Cole Hunter: Payback is a 2D side-scrolling shoot-’em-up with roguelite structure, high-stakes upgrade loops, and space-opera swagger. You’ll pilot customizable ships across hostile star systems, dodging waves of enemy fire, scrapping for core drops, and cashing in bounties to chip away at your crushing debt to the galaxy’s nastiest creditors.
Featuring tight moment-to-moment gameplay, risk-reward magnetic pickups, and a snarky drone sidekick, Cole Hunter delivers a modern twist on the classics — blending R-Type precision with Enter the Gungeon progression and Firefly-flavored grit.
Every run is a run for your life. And your wallet.
