About

From the creators of the SteamWorld franchise—the action series that tells the tales of steam-driven robot adventures and that has garnered more than 100 awards and nominations—comes a completely new game, The Gunk. Embark on an all-new adventure in a vast and exotic world where you’ll encounter terrifying enemies and challenging puzzles on your quest to unravel the mystery of a forgotten planet, while saving it in the process.

Key Features:

• Save a dying planet from a slimy parasite, and restore it to its exuberant past.
  • Take it upon yourself to rid the planet of gunk, salvage what lies beneath… and save its inhabitants.
• Master your power glove.
  • Absorb the tainting gunk and use it.
  • Manipulate the environment and then craft what you find to your advantage.
• Fight corrupt monsters…
  • Do they have access to gunk? Are they alone or in a pack? Can I use nearby objects—or can they be used against me?
  • As nature heals you get access to larger areas of the planet, and can unearth the story behind its demise.
• …and take a stand.
  • Why did you come here? To save this dying planet… or to strip it of its resources, and then leave?
