Short description
A third-person survivor-roguelite where sixteen deeply unqualified heroes bonk their way through a cursed, open-map campaign. You steer. Your weapon swings on its own. The horde only gets worse.
Long description
There Goes the Kingdom is a fast third-person survivor-roguelite about sixteen heroes who have no business saving anyone. A budget superhero with a weighted rope. An uncle whose aim gets worse and whose luck gets better with every drink. A night janitor still finishing his shift. A mascot costume with several things living inside it.
Formerly Gone Bonking, the game was renamed in November 2026 and rebuilt from chunky voxels into smooth, hand-modelled 3D. Screenshots on this page that still show blocks predate that.
Every hero's weapon attacks on its own, so the game is about movement and choices: jumping, sliding and carrying momentum through a horde, and picking upgrades from comic-book cards torn out of booster packs. Perks change how heroes look as well as how they fight, fusions merge attacks into one, and sigils brand stat boosts into your skin until they ascend.
The campaign begins at the Forsaken Keep, a cursed estate of dead forest, plague village, graveyard, crypts and castle, sealed under a dome. Break the chargestones that feed it, defeat a warden, and face the Rat King. The first chapter goes on to the volcanic Cinder Reach and back home for the Return; later chapters lead to the Drowned Parish, a frozen village and the sky. Up to four players can bonk together online.
