We Love It's Guide to…

Run Build Pew!

You pilot a small ship while bounty hunters and other enemies pursue you across a space map. Staying mobile and choosing which fights to take are central to surviving. Drones gather scrap, and your ship’s factory turns it into random parts to choose from and attach to your craft. Weapons, defenses, drones, and utility parts can combine in different ways; chips can boost nearby parts, and permanent upgrades carry progression between runs. Fight enemy waves and destroy outposts as your ship grows. The game includes several modes, including bounty hunting, escort, endless survival, and base defense.

A bounty-hunted pilot dodges pursuers, scavenges parts, and builds a makeshift warship to survive enemy fleets and outposts.

Arrange chips beside other parts to enhance them, and experiment with combinations of weapons, defenses, drones, and utility modules.

You’re being Bounty-Hunted! Run, Build your ship piece-by-piece and make it work with the parts you find, Destroy outposts and waves of fleets, and Pick your battles carefully to overcome your hunters in this Fast-Paced Top-Down Action Roguelite Shooter.
