End them Soldier Gameplay

In late 2025, End Them, Soldier! has made a name for itself as a high-octane, “ultra-hardcore” boomer shooter. While primarily a PC title, it has gained significant traction in the mobile community through cloud gaming and rumors of a dedicated mobile port.

Here is the breakdown of the game as of December 17, 2025:

1. The Core Gameplay: Brutal “Skill-Build” Combat

Released on November 18, 2025, by Constellation Games, the game is a love letter to 90s shooters like DOOM and Blood, but with a modern “roguelite” twist.

• The “Axe-Shotgun”: One of the game’s most viral features is the Shooting Axe. You can use it as a high-damage melee weapon or fire it like a shotgun.
• Variable Skill Builds: Unlike traditional shooters, you don’t just find guns; you build them. You can customize your weapons with “Runic Buffs,” such as Freeze Rockets or a Burst-Fire Explosive Revolver.
• Constant Pressure: The game features “Zero Padding.” There are no long walking sections or complex mazes—just 24 handcrafted levels of non-stop demon and skeleton annihilation.

2. Game Modes & Replayability

• Campaign Mode: 24 levels that take you from “Retro Streets” under a bloody sky to the “Darkest Dungeons.”
• Endless Roguelike Mode: Featuring 36 different arenas where you fight to climb a global leaderboard. The difficulty is split into 5 tiers, and the community in late 2025 is currently obsessed with the “Tier 5” meta.
• Movement-Based Combat: High-level play involves “Speed-Boost Jumps” and a “Bunnyhop” perk that was recently buffed in the December update to make dodging faster and more fluid.

3. The “Mobile” Experience in 2025

While the official version is on Steam, End Them, Soldier! has become a popular “on-the-go” game for two reasons:

• Steam Deck & Handhelds: Its “potato-friendly” optimization makes it run at a locked 60 FPS on almost any handheld device.
• Cloud Gaming: Many mobile players are using services like GeForce NOW to play the full version on their phones with a Bluetooth controller.
• Mobile Port Rumors: Since the game’s massive success in November, the developer has teased that they are looking into a native mobile version for 2026, though nothing is officially confirmed yet.
