Over 2 million individuals claimed the free 24-hour offering of the cooperative roguelike game, Guntouchables.
Guntouchables Achieves Notable Peak Player Count for Indie Roguelike
The slapstick co-op roguelike game, Guntouchables, developed by Game Swing, saw a peak of over 16,000 concurrent players on Steam[1][3][5]. This impressive figure was reached despite over 2 million users claiming the game for free during a 24-hour giveaway, with only about 0.8% of those players actually logging in[1].
When compared to other co-op roguelikes from unknown or small studios, Guntouchables' peak is relatively strong. Typically, such games would attract fewer than 16,000 concurrent players on Steam[3]. However, it falls short of major multiplayer games that can reach hundreds of thousands or even millions of concurrent players.
For instance, the psychological horror game Invokyr, another co-op game from a smaller studio, reportedly hit over 400,000 concurrent players during early betas on Steam, though it is a different subgenre and might have different reach or hype levels[4]. There appears to be no direct comparison data for other co-op roguelikes from unknown studios with similarly large giveaways, but Guntouchables' 16k peak is a notable achievement for an indie roguelike given its free distribution strategy[1][3].
Guntouchables, which received a lot of attention on the platform it was parodying, is currently available for purchase at £4.49/$4.99. One Steam review reads, "Great game, absolutely worth the money spent."[2] As of the current date, there are more than 1,800 reviews for Guntouchables on Steam[6]. The game still has a significant number of players, ensuring a populated multiplayer experience.
