Megabonk: Game concept, price, and more

Megabonk was released on September 18, 2025, on PC via Steam and has already sold over a million copies within a few weeks, as confirmed by its developers on X. The game features fast-paced survival gameplay and simple mechanics that are fairly easy to learn.

How to play

Megabonk is a roguelike survivor where players face endless waves of enemies in procedurally generated arenas. You start each run with a basic weapon, and eventually upgrade as you kill more and more enemies. The more you survive, the harder it gets. The game features 20 playable characters and over 70 unique items to try.

If you have played roguelike games such as Risk of Rain 2, Vampire Survivors, and the classic Alien Shooter series from the 2000s, you will immediately recognize the gameplay mechanics. The biggest difference is that Megabonk takes a more humorous approach.

Price

The game is currently priced at $9.99 and is only available on Steam. The pricing may vary depending on your region. If you are skeptical about spending money on the game, you can check out its free demo on its Steam page. Unfortunately, the game is not available on PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X|S yet.

System requirements

The developers seem to carry the same playful and unserious tone of the game even in the official game description on Steam. Instead of writing the technical details, they decided to add humor to the system requirements:

Minimum

Operating system: Windows 10 (64-bit)
