Clawpunk

Clawpunk is a melee-focused 2D action game with roguelite elements. You play as one of nine cat characters, fight through destructible environments and aim for the highest score by pressing forward and taking down everything in your path. Aggressive play earns powerful abilities, while ranged weapons give you another way to attack.

Choose your cat

Each cat has unique base stats, a primary weapon and a special attack. Specials recharge according to your performance, tracked by a combo counter. You can also collect special cards throughout the game; they are saved permanently and can mutate and enhance your cats’ abilities.

Fight through the zones

The game has five level zones that begin from a central hub. You can tackle the first four in any order. Each zone is designed around specific enemy types and combat spaces, from wide-open arenas suited to ranged fighting to tight quarters for melee brawls.

The fully destructible environments let you take on enemies in different ways or destroy the surroundings as you fight. A scalable difficulty system offers challenges for both rookies and seasoned players.

Combat and setting

The push-forward combat rewards daring attacks with devastating abilities and powerful rage attacks. The world draws on 1980s and 1990s cyberpunk, with a hard synth soundtrack, metal, and gritty industrial and ambient soundscapes.
