Canyon Carnage

Canyon Carnage is a fast-paced first-person shooter set in hostile, monster-infested canyons. You fight large-scale battles against enemy hordes, relying on movement, reflexes and weapon mastery to survive. Its difficulty is unforgiving: you are expected to die, learn from failure and retry encounters until you understand the levels, enemies, weapons and movement.

Combat and movement

The game draws on the classic shooter formula of large encounters, constant movement and weapons suited to different situations. Enemies have distinct behaviours, strengths and weaknesses, so choosing the right weapon matters: some work best against groups, while others are more effective against dangerous targets. You can use movement, weapon choices, enemy weaknesses and level design to overcome encounters that may initially seem impossible.

Scores and speedruns

Survival is only part of the challenge. You can refine your movement and strategies, find shortcuts and secrets, and compete on global leaderboards for scores and speedruns. Levels contain hidden areas, and the game rewards mastery, speed and optimisation, with replay value for players chasing records.

Enemies and weapons

Canyon Carnage features hordes of monsters with varied behaviours and weaknesses, along with a wide range of weapons for different combat situations. Its intentionally challenging design places repetition and mastery at the centre of play.
