Showgunners is a turn-based tactics video game developed by Artificer and published by Good Shepherd Entertainment.

In a dystopian future, contestants fight to the death in modern gladiator battles on the game show Homicidal All-Stars.

The developers were influenced by early 1990s science fiction and wanted to create a retrofuturistic setting reminiscent of that era's cyberpunk works.

The team agreed, reasoning that the "anything goes" nature of game shows like Takeshi's Castle could make any level design seem believable.
