    [News] 'Guns N' Boxe - The Singleplayer Update is Live!

    The singleplayer campaign mode is now live!

    Update 20 is live for Windows and Mac. This is probably the biggest one we've done so far. We couldn't be more proud, and we'll love to tell you all about it. To commemorate, we will be running a sale for 2 weeks starting now! It's now the perfect time to pick up the game.

    The campaign mode is a whole new game, inspired by our love for fast action games and roguelikes. In it, you break free from the arenas you were forced to fight in, and must make your way through everchanging levels to defeat the mastermind behind the deadly game show 'Guns N' Boxes'.




    It's a challenging but rewarding experience. After clearing the singleplayer, compete for best time in online leaderboards with global and friend rankings. (This is also an invitation to beat our best times. Good luck)

    If you're a Twitch Streamer, enable Twitch integration and have Twitch Chat join your runs, changing elements as you play. Help or harm? You decide!

    All stages have received a graphic quality upgrade and they're looking better then ever. This is true for multiplayer as well.

    Please check the patch notes below for the full list of changes.

    So, what's next?
    This update marks an important milestone but there's still much to do. The second half of the campaign is in development and will launch later on. Feedback from the first half will help us balance it.

    Our focus now shifts back to the online multiplayer. We will be switching to a dedicated server approach and improve our overall net code in hopes of a much smoother online experience. We will have more info on this as we start working on it.

    Thank you
    LightArrow games is a team of 3 people, but many more have contributed and made this game possible. We would like to thank everyone who has in any way given us a hand. Please head over to the new credits menu ingame for a full list. Thank you <3

    We hope you enjoy Guns N' Boxes.

    Wow, it looks Gorgeous! I've been waiting for a PC version of the game, like the mobile game Soul Knight. Similar games include Enter the gungeon or Nuclear Throne, but they did not support online multiplayer. If this game is well supported in single-player & multi-player as described, it's definitely a good game and I'm sure I'll catch it!

    This game is Early Access yet. But it will continue to evolve in the future. If you are interested in such a process, trying this game could be of great value. Of course, the game itself at this stage would be interesting enough. ;)
