Sofia, Bulgaria – November 5, 2025 – Kipi Interactive is thrilled to announce the launch of the public playtest for SunderBound, a co-op top-down shooter with roguelite progression, coming to PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store in 2026. Starting today, players can join the playtest by requesting access directly on Steam.
Players participating in the playtest are encouraged to share their feedback with the development team on the official SunderBound Discord server, helping shape the game’s final experience ahead of launch. The development team plans to update the playtest over the coming months, adding new content and improvements based on player feedback.
SunderBound throws players into a desperate climb through a decaying, dystopian spire. Built from the ground up as a two-player cooperative experience, the game challenges duos to navigate procedurally generated combat missions and tactical encounters. Whether playing couch co-op, online, or braving the ascent with a responsive AI companion, players will need to work together to overcome overwhelming odds.
SunderBound key features:
- Built for Two: SunderBound is a 2-player co-op top-down shooter with roguelite progression and tactical elements. It supports local couch co-op, online multiplayer, and solo play with a responsive AI companion.
- Tactical Mayhem: Success requires more than just a quick trigger finger. Cover matters, and timing saves lives. Players must split flanks, sync class abilities, and think on their feet to avoid being overwhelmed by the enemy.
- Procedural Combat Missions: No two missions are the same. Floor layouts, enemy spawns, ambushes, and modifiers evolve with each ascent, ensuring every run is a unique and unpredictable challenge.
- Different Loadout, Different Playstyle: Between missions, players can earn, buy, or craft new gear. Every weapon, perk, and augment sharpens a specific build, allowing for a wide variety of playstyles.
- A Dystopian Tower That Wants You Dead: Battle through flickering factories, hostile medbays, and decayed corporate relics. The world is gritty, hostile, and alive with tension, creating an immersive and dangerous environment.
