Our mission is clear, our determination strong, and our guns are very, very big. MOTHERGUNSHIP is a bullet-hell FPS hybrid facing you, Earth’s last hope, against the fleets of data-hoarding robotic alien invaders. Take the fight to the enemy, craft gun monstrosities that no reasonable person could ever lift, and experience randomized mayhem as you battle your way to the heart of the fleet to destroy the MOTHERGUNSHIP!

What you need to run it
The minimum specification calls for Intel Core i5-4430 / AMD FX-6300, 4 GB RAM and Nvidia GTX 750 Ti 2GB / AMD Radeon R7 265. At 4GB of RAM, it will run on essentially any working PC — that is below what a budget laptop ships with today. Install size is roughly 5GB. Both tiers are compared side by side on the requirements page, and you can check your own parts against them without installing anything.
What it launched against
Mothergunship launched on 17 July 2018, within three weeks of Dead Cells, Octopath Traveler, Overcooked! 2 and Sonic Mania Plus. All of them reviewed better. It arrived 5 years into the PlayStation 4's life, so it was built for hardware developers already knew well.
Released around the same time: Dead Cells, Octopath Traveler, Overcooked! 2, Sonic Mania Plus.
