Nongunz: Doppelganger Edition Announced, Launches Q3 2020, Demo Available for Steam Game Festival: Summer Edition

Nongunz: Doppelganger Edition

Digerati have announced Nongunz: Doppelganger Edition, a remastered version of Brainwash Gang’s bizarre action-platformer roguelite from 2017.

The original Nongunz has been removed from purchase for some time, as developer Brainwash Gang explains in the above announcement.


The game’s publisher at the time, Sindiecate, disappeared. This put Nongunz and its developer in an awkward position. The game has since been picked up by Digerati, who will be publishing this new remastered edition.

As with the original, Nongunz: Doppelganger Edition blends a challenging action-roguelite with a strange idle game-like meta-progression system. This metagame involves players building a death cult, and upgrades in this mode depend on your performance in the action-roguelite.

Some highlights of this remastered edition include an arena survival mode, and local co-op. You can find the announcement trailer below.

Nongunz: Doppelganger Edition will have a demo available during the upcoming Steam Game Festival: Summer Edition, and players can sign up for beta access as well.

You can find a rundown of the game (via Steam) below:


Rebuilt and Expanded
Completely rebuilt from the ground up, Nongunz: Doppelganger Edition is a remastered version of the original, featuring two all-new modes: Arena and Local Co-op!

Nongunz: Doppelganger Edition is a nihilistic action platformer combining hectic shootouts with the management of a mysterious idle game.

Each run will have you parting from a black and white graveyard into an ever-changing gothic dungeon full of nightmares fleshed out of human viscera. Surviving this distraught roguelike will not only require skill but style, since Nongunz rewards you for long-lasting combos and challenges… moreover, score will play a key role in the progress of the idle game: the formation of your very own band of lost souls and death cultists.

As the world of Nongunz evolves, meet special characters that will inhabit your graveyard: praying cultists, self-scourging martyrs, somber gravediggers… which will either help widen your killing skills or improve the performance of the insidious idle game built around the graveyard.
