Our take on Abstract Arena
Rather than building around a campaign, this action shooter centers on arena bouts, with free-for-all and team formats and dynamic maps. Its abstract setting and geometric presentation also depart from the character- or world-focused framing common in action shooters.
What is Abstract Arena?
Abstract Arena is a top-down action shooter where ships fight in an abstract arena.
Choose from 6 ships, each with distinct abilities, and use 12 gadgets such as freezing missiles and reflecting shields. Matches take place across 16 maps with moving obstacles, with 4 game modes and free-for-all or team-based play. Up to 6 challengers can play at once; local multiplayer supports split-screen for 2 players on one display, and matches can also use LAN play. The game includes achievements that unlock extra content, including ship skins and graphic effects. Its presentation uses bright colors, geometric shapes, soft sci-fi music, and sound effects. Controller support includes analog sticks and rumble functions.
