About the game

Gone Bonking is a fast third-person survivor-roguelite about sixteen heroes who have no business saving anyone. A budget superhero with a weighted rope. An uncle whose aim gets worse and whose luck gets better with every drink. A night janitor still finishing his shift.

Every hero's weapon attacks on its own, so the game is about movement and choices: jumping, sliding and carrying momentum through a horde, and picking upgrades from comic-book cards torn out of booster packs.

Runs take place in the Forsaken Keep, an open cursed map of dead forest, plague village, graveyard, crypts and castle. Break the Blood Seals, take down the Rat King, and step through the Demon Gate into a harder version of it all. Up to four players can bonk together online.

What's in it

The short version

  • Sixteen heroes. Zero qualifications.

    Each one has their own weapon, mechanic, movement trick and a real weakness to play around.

  • Builds you can see

    Perks and fusions change how a hero looks and how their attacks move. Your build is on your character.

  • Level-ups from booster packs

    Every level-up is a hand of comic cards torn from a pack, with rare collector cards to keep.

  • Chests are slot machines

    Pull the lever, hope for a jackpot, and reroll the prize if you dare.

  • A cursed open map

    Dead forest, plague village, crypts and castle, charted on a parchment map as you go.

  • Bonk with friends

    Online co-op for two to four players. Drag each other back up when the horde gets you.
