Skip it if you…

Saves you a refund
  • Players seeking health management, weapon progression or extended firefights may hit a wall when every railgun hit can be fatal.

Our take on Ratz Instagib

The bounce point arrives at the first missed shot: one projectile can end an encounter, leaving little room to recover through sustained fire. Players who need a gradual combat exchange may also hit the wall when rocket jumping turns movement into part of every duel.

What is Ratz Instagib?

Ratz Instagib is a first-person arena shooter where each railgun hit can eliminate an opponent.

Players compete as rats in household-themed arenas, using a dedicated rocket-jump control to alter movement and make targets harder to hit. The game includes 13 maps based on household environments, along with user-created arenas shared through Steam Workshop. Match types include Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, Capture The Flag and Freeze Tag. Players can unlock character customisation items and select different beam and frag types. Integrated statistics and leaderboards track progress. The RatzEd editor lets players build stages and distribute them through Steam Workshop.
