Details
The full picture
Written from verified facts; labels mark how strong each statement's evidence is.
What the game is
Gunmetal Orbit is a roguelite bullet-hell shooter released September 10, 2026 at $4.99, built by a solo developer who cites Brotato as the starting point.
It puts the familiar short-run, auto-firing build loop into a 2.5D asteroid field aboard a heavy mining exosuit.
New to the formula: mining, risky cargo and a growing orbital outpost are all part of each run.
Mining, greed and Corsairs
Weapons fire automatically; everything else is on you - fly with twin-stick controls, dodge fire, dash through openings and crack asteroids for ore.
Ore raises the payout but a full hold slows you down, and a real hit knocks chunks back into the field for a few seconds.
A heavy cargo hold also attracts Corsairs: bank early and stay safe, or get greedy and try to bring home one more load.
Builds and the outpost
Equip up to six auto-firing weapons from an arsenal of 28; at full load two are in hand and four ride articulated gun arms.
Weapons combine through four tiers, with higher tiers adding projectiles, forking beams, larger drone swarms and deeper status effects.
Nine spacers change the rules in different ways, and the run's orbital station itself grows through sentry, shield, refinery, forge, drone and launch modules on eight compass positions (BOUNDED: official Steam description, checked 2026-09-17).
