- Updated
Stargunner is an arcade space shooter built around dodging enemy formations and keeping your ship firing. Its 34 stages move through space, alien terrain and underwater routes, with bosses waiting to test your survival.
Credits from defeated enemies buy weapons and engines, giving you decisions to make between the shooting. It is a good match for players who enjoy older action games and improving through repeated attempts.
GOG currently offers the game free, with no claim deadline shown. The download is DRM-free and can be played offline; the GOG Galaxy client is optional.
GOG’s official description lists 75 enemy craft and 33 bosses. That variety means the campaign regularly introduces new attack patterns instead of relying on one formation from beginning to end. Stargunner is a single-player experience and does not include multiplayer. GOG lists partial Xbox 360 controller support, so some functions may still be easier to handle with a keyboard.
What does the free GOG version include?
GOG currently lists Stargunner at no cost and shows no offer deadline. The release is DRM-free, which means its offline installers can be used without keeping GOG Galaxy open. Galaxy is optional rather than a requirement for playing the game.
The current listing supports Windows and Linux and includes English audio and text. It does not list macOS or Turkish support. The game runs through DOSBox, while the GOG Preservation Program provides an updated Windows package tested for Windows 10 and Windows 11. Cloud saves are also listed for players who use the supported GOG features.
“No deadline shown” describes the verified product page, not a promise that the store price can never change. Confirm that GOG still displays a zero price before completing the checkout.

Yes. GOG provides DRM-free offline installers, and the Galaxy client is not required after the game is downloaded and installed.
Does the GOG version support Turkish?
No Turkish localization is listed. The store page identifies English audio and English text.
