About Showgunners

Showgunners drops you into a corporate‑ruled dystopia where a lethal reality show decides who survives. You control Scarlett Martillo, a vengeful contestant navigating urban arenas packed with traps, puzzles, and psychopathic foes.

The game mixes turn‑based tactical combat with real‑time hazard navigation, lets you recruit allies, spend talent points on unique skill trees, and equip weapons from a shop or loot. A native Twitch integration lets viewers alter each level in real time.

01 / THE GUIDE

Turn‑Based Tactical Combat

Every stage is hand‑crafted for a curated, turn‑based tactical experience. A show director can hinder Scarlett or aid opponents, making each level feel fresh and demanding strategic positioning.

Talent points let you upgrade characters through distinct skill trees, shaping how you approach each encounter while you progress through the story.

  • Watch how the director’s interventions shift enemy placement and adjust your formation accordingly.
  • Try different skill‑tree branches early to discover which synergies suit your playstyle.

02 / THE GUIDE

Recruitable Allies

As the narrative advances, hidden challenges within each chapter unlock new partners who can turn the tide of battle in various ways.

Allies fight alongside Scarlett, expanding tactical options for handling traps, enemies, and puzzles throughout the combat scenarios.

  • Explore hidden challenges to uncover additional allies and broaden your squad.
  • Mix allies with complementary abilities to cover a wider range of threats.

03 / THE GUIDE

Environmental Hazards

Levels feature deadly traps and lethal puzzles that require real‑time navigation, such as ticking time bombs and runaway trains, adding urgency to each encounter.

These hazards are interspersed with combat, ensuring that tactical decisions must also account for timing and positioning to avoid damage.

  • Prioritize disarming or evading time‑sensitive hazards before committing to attacks.
  • Use allies with utility or crowd‑control skills to mitigate environmental threats.

04 / THE GUIDE

Fame and Sponsorship

Surviving rounds, avoiding death, and eliminating enemies with style increase your fame. Higher fame unlocks increasingly beneficial sponsorship deals.

Fame acts as a performance metric, rewarding efficient and dramatic play, which can affect resources and options later in the game.

  • Aim for clean, decisive eliminations to boost fame quickly.
  • Maintain survivability to maximize the number of sponsorship benefits earned.

05 / THE GUIDE

Twitch Integration

The native Twitch integration lets audiences influence each level by adding enemies, altering terrain, or sending items directly from chat, creating an interactive streaming experience.

Viewer actions can dynamically shape difficulty and resources, making each playthrough unique based on audience participation.

  • Engage your audience early to encourage helpful item drops during tough sections.
  • Watch chat commands to anticipate sudden enemy spawns and adjust strategy.
