About Paunch

✦ AI summary

Battle other players and friends in a flooded swamp where you throw boulders, manage stamina, and loot gear to carry between matches in this roguelike fighter. Resurrect endlessly after wins, collect items from defeated opponents, and customize Bob's ridiculous facial expressions as you survive encounters with surprisingly dangerous hippos and crocodiles.

Forest swamp

  • pleasant vegetation, splashing through water, the soothing chomping of crocodiles and the snorting of hippos — Bob loves the calm of this place
  • a changing time of day, but a clock is always close at hand

Combat modes

  • duel with global matchmaking
  • sparring between friends

Rules

  • with rebirth boulders, Bob can keep living, resurrecting again and again
  • after a win, you can carry out any items from duels and sparring, except boulders — as many as you can hold; take them into other matches or bring them back to Camp
  • you can add the offender or the defeated to friends and continue in sparring — because how could anyone say no to Bob

Attacks

  • boulder throw
  • kick strike

Loot in duels and sparring

  • barrels that always contain something to eat
  • pack-tents with gear and supplies
  • barbed wire stakes — stop animals and discourage excessive kicking
  • firewood you will also find a use for

Stamina system

  • Bob used to allow himself excess, but that is in the past: all food is healthy, and everything is put to use
  • food restores not only the urge to kick, but also grip

Inventory

  • inventory tiles for placing clothing, facial expressions, and food
  • unique facial expressions reflect the boundless range of moods of the swamp’s owner

Swamp dwellers

  • mostly harmless hippos and crocodiles drain stamina
  • they love tents, but hate open fire
  • they chew on your gear, but you are unlikely to be able to punish them for it

Sekiro cheap: what our price record shows, and what to avoid

Search Sekiro cheap and the results are keyshop listings, not a store discount. Our three-month price record explains the gap, and why so few live offers changes the advice.
