Atomic Picnic

Atomic Picnic is a bullet heaven-inspired third-person roguelike shooter! Dive into adrenaline-fueled, high-octane arenas with up to four friends to fight hordes of monsters. Gain experience and upgrade your weapons and skills to create the best build possible to survive. Every Picnic is different, with a variety of upgrades that can radically change how you play. Players join forces with up to three other "Loners" and embark on scavenger hunts- called "Picnics" – confronting relentless hordes of monsters. No two Picnics are ever the same, and players will bond through these trials as they run, gun, explore, collect, and upgrade in a fight against waves of monsters and bosses. Each Picnic is a unique adventure, offering different upgrade paths and special events to challenge both solo Loners and groups of friends.

• Skillful Movement: Masterfully moving through each level, players experience a fast-paced and deep movement system, skillfully dashing and swinging around the world at high speeds.
• Overpowered Builds: Going beyond the limits of their potential, players strive to defeat a nearly endless horde of adversaries. They will level up to unlock new abilities and weapon upgrades, experimenting with builds to find the perfect combination that will carry them to victory.
• Massive Boss Fights: There's nowhere to hide! Players will have to join together and strategize to take down massive, battlefield-sized monsters.
• Bullet Heaven with Friends: Atomic Picnic is the first co-op roguelike shooter that includes a "collect-a-thon" progression system of the "Survivors-like" genre.
• Teamwork Makes the Dream work: The game thrives on the pure joy and excitement of playing with friends. Air Gear in hand, players masterfully dash through ever-growing hordes at breakneck speeds, creating memorable moments of heroic teamwork in the face of chaos.
• A Vibrant World with a Grim Backdrop: The world of Atomic Picnic is bright and colorful, but the truth is dark and grim, with uninhabited lands infested with dangerous creatures. Loners brave these dangers for fame, loot, and glory!
