Something happened here, and the answers are buried deep beneath eerie caverns, sordid Black Guild shanties, putrid sewers, and castle walls that have seen better days. Going deeper and listening carefully is the only way to find out what, and why.
SULFUR is a system-based roguelike FPS from developer Perfect Random, blending tactile, visceral gunplay with a genuine sense of risk and reward. Combining weapons, gear, tools, and enchantments into builds suited to a preferred playstyle, uncovering hidden secrets and rare treasure, and deciding how much to risk on any given expedition, you’ll fight through unpredictable enemies while piecing together the mystery of a world in redemption.
What Makes It Different?
- Combine weapons, gear, tools, and enchantments into fully customized builds
- Modify and enchant an arsenal of firearms with a vast range of attachments
- Risk losing gear on failure, since equipment left behind won’t always come back
- Explore five distinct biomes, each with unique enemies and loot
- Encounter strange creatures whose reactions and warnings shape your path
- Uncover an eerie, suspenseful story told through environments and encounters
- Adapt freely between gun-blazing aggression and careful, tactical play
Gunplay That Rewards Experimentation
SULFUR leans heavily on how satisfying its weapons feel to use, with attachments and enchantments letting a single firearm be reshaped into something entirely different depending on what’s found along the way. Combining that modified arsenal with gear, tools, and enchantments opens up builds suited to wildly different approaches, whether that means charging in as a gun-blazing risk-taker or playing things slow and tactical.
Reviewers have consistently pointed to the gunplay as a genuine highlight, with some already calling it one of the best roguelike shooters around well before its Early Access run is finished.
Risk Everything, Lose Everything
Every expedition into SULFUR’s world carries real stakes. Loot, treasure, and secrets uncovered along the way are only secure once safely extracted, and gear brought into a run risks being lost entirely on failure, with nothing guaranteed to still be there on the next attempt. That tension, choosing when to push further into unexplored territory versus when to cut losses and retreat, sits at the heart of every decision made across the game’s five starting biomes.
How Long Does a Run Take?
A standard individual mission or level run typically takes around 15 to 30 minutes, though speedrunners or fast clears can finish a stage in under 15 minutes. Main story playtime averages 13 hours 46 minutes to 14 hours according to community data. Main story plus sides or extras averages 36 hours 17 minutes to 38 hours, while a full completionist playstyle across all approaches averages 26 hours 38 minutes, ranging anywhere from 11 hours 18 minutes up to 45 or more hours depending on grinding and loot collection.
Controller Support
SULFUR features Full Controller Support for Xbox Controllers, DualShock Controllers over USB, and the Steam Input API.
