Hunter, Australia - October 2, 2025 | Hunter-based Snag Swag Studios is excited to reveal that the demo for their upcoming Australian-themed 2D metroidvania Aussie Bogan Hero is out now on Steam before October's Steam Next Fest and PAX Aus.
Aussie Bogan Hero is a fast-paced 2D metroidvania that throws players into the dusty heart of outback Australia. When shady megacorp Drill and Thrill unleashes supernatural chaos from a local opal mine, the once-peaceful town of Dusty Springs is plunged into lockdown, shutting down the servo, the footy, and worst of all, the pub.
Players step into the thongs of Davo, a mullet-wearing, pint-loving local who sets out to fight back against corrupt suits, mutated wildlife, and an outback warped by otherworldly powers, all in a quest to reopen his beloved watering hole and save his town.
From blistering desert landscapes to cursed mines and iconic landmarks, Aussie Bogan Hero offers an action-packed journey across a surreal version of Australia. With backyard brawling combat, improvised weapons like cricket bats and pub darts, and a host of cheeky upgrades (including a goon bag glider), players can take on magpies, bin chickens, redbacks, and more. Packed with satirical Aussie humour, offbeat characters, and chaotic fun, this is a true-blue adventure where only a bogan legend in a singlet can save the day.
Aussie Bogan Hero will be launching on PC (via Steam) in Q1 2026, with a demo out now before October's Steam Next Fest and PAX Aus. To keep up to date, be sure to follow them on X @SnagSwagStudios, TikTok & Instagram.
Welcome to Dusty Springs—a sleepy outback town where the mullets are long, the stubbies are cold, and the local bogans are louder than a magpie in mating season.
All is as it should be in Dusty Springs, until life takes a wild turn and the nearby opal mine digs up more than just shiny rocks. These ain’t your average gems—they’re packed with spooky spirits and weird powers, warping the land and turning the local wildlife into beefed-up bush terrors.
Enter Drill and Thrill—a dodgy megacorp with more money than morals. They move in faster than a seagull on hot chips, snatching up the mine and milking it dry. As things get weirder, they do what any greedy company would: blame the local bogans. Next thing you know, Dusty Springs is in full lockdown—no footy, no servo runs, and worst of all, no pub.
Meet Davo—proud bogan who loves a good pint. When his beloved watering hole shuts down, he’s had enough. With his thongs on and a heart full of sausage rolls, Davo sets out to save his town, expose Drill and Thrill, and maybe even punch a few drongos along the way.
Explore Straya
Strap in for a wild ride across the weird and wonderful Aussie outback. From the blistering heat of the red centre to the Opera House itself, the land down under is packed with secrets around every corner.
Dive deep into cursed opal mines that twist reality itself, unearth ancient bush legends, and maybe even ride a rogue emu or two.
Throw Down
Menacing magpies. Bulbous bin chickens. Ravenous redbacks. The outback’s crawling with trouble, and Davo’s not afraid to throw down. Arm yourself with whatever’s lying around—cricket bats, pub darts, or even your trusty lighter.
With plenty of toe-to-toe knuckle sandwich showdowns, combat in Aussie Bogan Hero is a glorious mess of backyard brawling and improvised mayhem. It’s not about finesse—it’s about fightin' dirty and lookin' good in a singlet.
Bonza Upgrades
As Davo makes his way through the treacherous Aussie outback, he’ll come across some fair dinkum upgrades to help him on his journey. These ripper tools let him crack tricky puzzles, take on tougher enemies, and reach places he couldn’t before.
From a dodgy old lighter that doubles as a flamethrower to a used goon bag perfect for gliding through the air, Davo’s keen to make the most of whatever he can scrounge up to survive the wilds of the outback.
True Blue Laughs
From snarky one-liners to pub-worthy banter, Aussie Bogan Hero is dripping in true-blue Aussie humour. Satirical, shameless, and proudly Strayan—it’s the kind of comedy that’d make your nan gasp.
So grab your thongs, crack open a cold one, and join Davo on the bogan-est adventure out of Australia. 'Cause sometimes, it takes a legend in a singlet to save the day.
