It’s time for a Steam Sale again, don’t you think? If so, you’ve come to the right place, because we’ve actually picked out a whole slew of exciting deals for you. From what? Well, from the currently running SHMUP festival, which is an abbreviation for the quite popular genre of shoot ’em ups.
If that’s your thing, you should lean forward with interest and get your nose very close to the display. Then you’ll be sure not to miss any of the following offers.
There are 13 lucrative bargains. Are you ready? Anyone else want to go to the bathroom? We’re not stopping anymore! Alright: Off goes the sale train!
But this isn’t a shoot ’em up! Yes, that’s right. Some titles are strictly speaking of a different genre. But we’ll just blame Steam in this case, because they included the game in the SHMUP sale after all, ha! Besides, you don’t want to miss out on awesome games just because they show up in the wrong sale and get passed over because of it, right? See, neither do we!
Highlight: Enter & Exit the Gungeon
- Genre: Action
- Release: Apr 5, 2016
- Price: 7,50 Euro ( reduced by 70 percent)
This mix of twin-stick and bullet-hell shooter should already mean something to many of you, and some will even own the game. Because Enter the Gungeon has turned into a real indie hit since its release in 2016, which has steadily grown in terms of scope thanks to numerous updates.
The most important news in advance, since this Steam Sale is all about shooting: Yes, there are many, really many weapons to be found in the randomly generated dungeons. With them, you’ll make your way through never-ending hordes of enemies until you finally reach your goal – or bite the dust. Because you will do that very, very often in Enter the Gungeon.
Did we mention the insane arsenal of weapons? What, just now? Okay, let’s mention it again: The arsenal of weapons is insane! Probably the highlight of the game, both Enter the Gungeon and Exit the Gungeon, the sequel. Because with the current Steam deal, you get both games at once!

- Warhammer 40,000: Shootas, Blood & Teef: There’s not a lot of talking or even negotiating going on here. Instead, this run-and-gun shooter really gets down to business! Your goal is to find out your stolen hair squig. What is it? You’d best find out for yourself! (13 Euro, reduced by 33 percent)
