Battle it out local and online in this neon-soaked arena brawler full of lethal weapons, stackable perks, furious combat and a killer synthwave soundtrack.
The gameplay features a blend of lethal melee weapons, such as katanas and sledgehammers, as well as ranged options like rocket launchers. Players must utilize responsive controls and fluid movement, including a dodge and parry mechanic, to outmaneuver and outgun their opponents in the arena. Reviews describe the combat as "tight", "skill-based", and consistently exciting, keeping players on their toes with its fast-paced, furious action that is easy to pick up but provides plenty of room for improvement and mastery.
A standout feature is the perk drafting system, where players can draft new perks after each round that stack and combine with their existing ones, creating more powerful and diverse effects. The wide pool of distinctive perks ensures that no two games play out the same way. This system introduces an additional layer of strategy, as players must carefully consider which perks to draft, especially as the losing players choose first. Reviewers praise this system for keeping the gameplay fresh and providing an effective comeback mechanic for weaker players.
Reviews describe the overall gameplay as well-balanced, with no individual weapons, perks, or mechanics being overpowered. The variety of options, from the different weapons to the various perk combinations, allows for a high degree of experimentation and replayability. Players can further customize each match by adjusting parameters like victory conditions and active perks/handicaps, a flexibility and depth that is greatly appreciated despite the relatively small roster of playable characters.
The game strikes a good balance between accessibility and depth. The controls and core mechanics are easy to pick up, making the game approachable for casual players. However, the skill ceiling is high, with ample room for players to improve their precision, timing, and strategic use of the game's mechanics. Reviewers cite this blend of simplicity and complexity as a major strength, allowing for both quick, chaotic fun as well as more competitive, skill-based play.
