[November 5, 2025] — The infection has spread. Plagun, the grotesque roguelike pixel shooter, is now available on Steam for $4.99 USD, launching with a 20% discount. Following its mobile debut on Android, the game brings its relentless, plague-ridden chaos to PC with full controller support and gameplay refinements tailored for desktop players.
Set in a kingdom undone by its own cure for death, Plagun follows a doctor who has become one of the very monsters they once sought to heal. The world is overrun by infected husks—mindless, regenerating creatures spawned from a failed attempt at immortality. Armed with biomechanical “Plaguns” and cursed masks, players must fight through escalating waves of these abominations, adapting their builds through mutation and experimentation as they struggle to survive.
Each run in Plagun is short, intense, and endlessly replayable. The game blends auto-shooting, bullet-hell action with tight platforming, forcing players to stay on the move as they battle through claustrophobic arenas filled with grotesque enemies. Between runs, collected corpses can be used to unlock new weapons, abilities, and passive powers, gradually transforming the player into a deadlier, more unstable force.
Masks play a key role in shaping each playthrough. Every cursed mask alters stats and abilities, encouraging players to experiment with aggressive, defensive, or hybrid strategies. Weapons, too, are as disturbing as they are powerful—organic “Plaguns” that fuse flesh and machinery in unpredictable ways, capable of everything from rapid-fire bursts to close-range melee attacks. As players push further into the infection, they’ll encounter cryptic notes and ruined environments that slowly piece together the story of a kingdom consumed by its own ambition.
The result is an experience that’s easy to pick up yet hard to put down. With its fast pace, evolving builds, and dark atmosphere, Plagun captures the thrill of roguelike progression and the intensity of survival horror in equal measure. Every death brings new discoveries. Every run mutates. Every shot counts.
The plague has taken hold—put on your mask, load your Plagun, and face the infection on Steam today.
Plagun is also available on Android.
