About URG
URG is a retro-style side-scrolling arcade shooter with beautiful 3D graphics and a ton of action with big explosions. URG can be played alone, or as a co-op with up to 4 players (there's always one main player and up to 3 sidekicks).
URG is short for Utopos Rocketship Game. URG is a remake of the first game I ever made, 27 years ago on Atari ST. The game back then was called Utopos.
In URG, you fly a rocket ship in an asteroid field, completing missions to collect items and solve puzzles, while shooting at enemies and blowing up asteroids. The game is divided into multiple themed worlds, each with multiple levels. As the game progresses, new worlds are unlocked and each world adds new gameplay elements.
When you play URG and connect more than one controller, other players can join any time by pressing the A-button in the controller. This will spawn a sidekick, which acts as an assistant to the main player. Sidekicks can't die. They have two functions: they can give fire support to the main player, and they can give hearts, which will restore health. All players share the screen, which scrolls with the main player. If a sidekick falls outside of the screen, they can respawn by pressing the A-button again.

Players praise this retro-style space shooter for its fun gameplay, diverse modes including adventure, solid controller support, and polished graphics with satisfying combat against varied aliens. Some players experienced technical issues after a name change, though developer updates have resolved these problems, and the game is noted for good Linux support and speedrun potential.
Once you get used to the controls (I highly recommend using a gaming controller) it's super fun! So far my fave mode is adventure mode, I can't wait to play more of all of the game modes! Will stream more game play for sure!6 found this helpful
Enjoyed the game when it was Guntech but after the bizarre name change to URG the game simply didn't work. Couldn't get past the weapon select screen as it appeared to freeze on that screen with the music continuing to play. Update: 8/5/21 Developer has released an update that has fixed the issue and I can now recommend this game. Thank you :-)3 found this helpful
An old-school space shoot-em-up with awesome graphics, upgrades, rescues and lots of weird aliens to kill! Great fun and works well with my Logitech F310 gamepads. A sincere thanks to the dev for supporting Linux with this game as well. For those who have it installed, I recommend using the 'gamemoderun %command%' launch option for maximum enjoyment! 9/10.2 found this helpful
Need a new race to the end game? Need a new game to speed-run? Enjoy space games? Then you need to add this awesome 3D space game to your steam library. Which spaceship will you choose? Hours of fun.
