Fiveamp’s NIMRODS: GunCraft Survivor is a chaotic “survive-’em-up” roguelite shooter that launched in Early Access on October 28, 2024 . Set on hostile alien worlds, you play as an expendable clone tasked with testing absurd, overpowered weapon prototypes. The core hook is its deep gun-crafting system—collect wild parts and augments to create bizarre firearms capable of clearing entire screens of enemies .
What makes NIMRODS stand out is its persistent drone mechanic: weapons from previous runs can be deployed on a companion drone, letting your past creations support future attempts . The game features handcrafted maps, diverse biomes, bosses, and heavy meta-progression through DNA upgrades and unlockable gear .
The macOS version supports macOS 10.14+, Apple Silicon or Intel x64 processors, and Metal-capable GPUs . With Very Positive user reviews on Steam , it has quickly become a favorite among bullet-heaven fans who enjoy extreme build variety and explosive combat.
