CybArena

CybArena is a top-down cyberpunk wave shooter for one to four players. Choose a mercenary, take a gun and survive ninety-second waves of enemies in the arena. Every third wave brings a boss; clear wave 36 to face the guardian, then continue in Endless mode.

Survive the arena

You have fifteen seconds between waves to spend your earnings at vending machines. Kill enemies to collect coins and perk tokens, dash past attacks you cannot dodge, and revive downed teammates or donate a spare life in online co-op. Character passives can benefit the whole party, and each character makes their signature power-up more likely to drop for everyone.

Enemies drop six timed power-ups: Extra Life, Infinite Ammo, Speed Boots, Double Damage, XP Boost and Rapid Fire. Five vending machines offer special equipment, including movement-speed upgrades, an immunity pill, an Airstrike and a Nuke.

Build your run

Perk tokens deal you three cards from a pool of 70, divided among four rarities. Cards range from a +2% bonus to legendaries such as Death's Echo, which chains each kill into the next. Bonuses compound, bosses always pay out a rare card or better, and you have a few rerolls for cards you do not want. Kills can also chain into combos, increasing your payout.

The arena has ten guns, from a sidearm that never jams to the Minigun. Weapon Tokens earned by clearing waves and gaining levels unlock guns permanently across runs. Choose a gun at the loadout screen or buy one from the mid-run vendor, and swap weapons during a run. Each weapon has its own exclusive perk cards, such as Choke for shotguns and Spin-Up for the Minigun. Heavier guns deal more damage but slow you down.

Choose a mercenary

• Assault: deals more weapon damage, and damage power-ups last longer when he collects them. His Mortar Shower ultimate rains up to six volleys of six shells from above.
• Skirmisher: moves fastest of the mercenaries. Beast Mode lasts 20 seconds and increases fire rate, movement speed and damage while keeping the magazine full.
• Control: increases fire rate. Shockwave stuns every enemy in the arena, clears nearby bullets and pushes enemies back.
• Support: starts with deeper magazines and increases ammo-drop frequency for the whole party while Munition is in the lobby. Bullet Pulse fires expanding rings of bullets that can critically hit and pierce enemies.

Face the enemy waves

The nine enemy types include chasers, gunners, rocket drones, minelayers, bombers, laser eyebots, grenade lobbers and support drones that shield other enemies. Any enemy can appear as an Elite with one of four traits: Armoured, Swift, Volatile or Shielded. Elites are marked by a ring and award triple coins when defeated.

Bosses appear every third wave and enrage at half health. They include the Cyber Snake, which you dismantle segment by segment, and the Railway, a moving wall of guns that rides the edge of the arena. Wave 36 sends the guardian with an escort; unlike other waves, its timer does not end the fight. The wave continues until the guardian is dead, after which Endless mode begins.
