About Full Gear

Songs of steam and bright machines...

Welcome to Full Gear! This is a steampunk-style traditional roguelike (turn-based, permadeath, absolutely no progression), where you'll learn that information is key: learn new things, die from an unknown attack, repeat. Use goggles, guns and gadgets to get a gain on the gears, and find... whatever you're looking for down there. You keep forgetting your goal, don't you Devi? Eyes on the prize!
You can also play Full Gear as a modern roguelike, slowly unlocking item sets, boosts, and Toolboxes. If you don't like starting with all the chaotic and complex items, be sure to select Modern Mode and ease more into the game as it progresses.
With hundreds of unique items to equip, throw, shoot, learn and build, there's plenty of possibilities to crash your wrench into the drones patrolling the area. And sometimes your own drones as well. Don't worry, no crafting will be required.
Featuring:
  • 8 sprawling areas, all in one giant room, to traverse
  • 300+ items, all with unique capabilities, combinations and strengths
  • 50+ unique enemies, completely animated in cute pixel art style
  • 6 NPC's with their own hopes, dreams, aspirations, and make-shift shops
  • 6 Toolboxes, a run tracker, and a seeding system to make your runs personal
  • 9 Boosts and 9 Challenges to make the game harder - or easier - at will
  • 6 main bosses and 1 final boss
  • 30 Steam achievements!

Make Your Own Death Machines


Ah, but using a weapon is never quite enough, is it? You need additional firepower! Gather Parts and combine them in any way you like using local Drone Stations, then let the crafted Drones roam near you, distracting and eliminating any threat. You can make a killer robot with three flamethrowers moving at lightning speed - or a cute companion with a taser called Randy. Nobody's safe from Randy.

A Turn Of Events


That cogwheel of yours isn't just for decoration, it's your essence. Whenever a Token reaches the top, it'll activate whatever it does - heal you, shield you, give a Crit, give Scrap, or allow a Drone to fire. Re-arrange these Wheel Tokens to whatever you see fit, and before you can say "hey watch this" you deal 40 damage in one attack.
Not enough slots for your tokens to fit? No big deal! Swap cogwheels to get more slots, stacked slots, special tokens or more regeneration to increase your active capacity. But beware - larger cogwheels may have more slots, but consequently, each slot activates less often.

Block And Unlock


Many items are locked at first, but in-game Goals can be tracked to unlock them. How do you get 5 Curse? Deal 30 damage in one hit? Use a Reclaimer? The items you gain from completing goals interact with those mechanics heavily! Additionally, you can simply choose Traditional Mode, where all items are unlocked from the start and Goals are purely cosmetic. Excellent for those living the rogue-life.


Remembered History


You aren't alone. Maybe that's for the best.

There's people down here. Actual people, Devi. Maybe they have some information. You'll need every bit of it.
They have stories to tell? About mechanics? Good. About the lore? Hm, is that interesting?
Are they of use? They clearly have things they can give you. Maybe it's worth your time after all.

Getting them out of this place?
What, are you insane?

See you around.

Well, it could be more visually polished. It's hard to tell what is enemy or device or item. And I guess items are pre-made (not randomized except colors), which is somewhat disappointing. Still I had quite fun and unique experience.

It's a really fun roguelike, and lately been one of my favorite "I just want to play a run and see what cool items I get" games lately; the itemization is excellent and reminds me of Diablo 1 in the best possible way (comparing it to another proper roguelike might make more sense but for this I always think Diablo 1 for some reason); you're dropped off in a central dungeon that branches off into a few different dungeons (randomized each run, from a few options) and basically just carve your way through the awful labyrinth collecting drone parts, gadgets, gear, bells, bullets, till you either get squashed or win. There's a gear mechanic that you can assign abilities to (such as gain a critical hit, regenerate, shield, have a robot drone attack, etc) and instead of actively using it, it rotates every turn and automatically activates the corresponding assigned ability -- works very intuitively and it's fun to slowly build your cog each run; aesthetically I don't really like or care for steampunk, but there's a lot of polish and love put into the art design of this game; the character interactions are cute, the animations and particles give the game some umph, the sound design is alri…

Fun reasonably priced game. Drone building is pretty neat. The flavor text on all items is amusing enough too.

nice little game. I would love if the developer adds a way to continue a run later. All the good runs were lost due to RL interruptions.

I like this game. It's a different take on the roguelike genre. Now let's see if I can stop dying so much :)
