Gearshifters is an arcade-style shoot-em-up with roguelite elements, sending players on runs against waves of enemies and bosses.

Between attempts, players upgrade and customize their machine, unlocking new weapons and parts that change how each run plays. It suits fans of score-driven shooters who enjoy long-term progression. Much of its appeal comes from discovering how its central idea plays out, so it is best approached with curiosity and an open mind.
