Nexagon: Deathmatch

Nexagon: Deathmatch is a real-time tactics game set in a televised tournament called The Pit, where prisoners fight for a chance at freedom. You recruit combatants, build and manage a base, and battle rival teams in a destructible arena. Losing means death; winning means freedom.

The world and The Pit

In the late 25th century, Earth's population has grown, transforming the planet into a grid of concrete, polymers and steel. Fragile biospheres suspended miles above the surface provide oxygen, while humans and alien races live and work together in Earth's crowded centers. After skirmishes near the Orion Nebula, a feeling of well-being spread through society, and parliament made a decision about prisoners: offer them a chance at freedom through a new form of entertainment, The Pit.

Build and manage your base

You design and edit a persistent base of operations, building defensive structures, traps and weapons to protect your investment. You can also create lavish gardens to please the crowd. Support your network sponsors with billboards and control of advertising locations to earn extra credits.

Recruit and fight

You purchase combatants with different fighting skills and weapons. They gain experience and undergo physical changes over time, becoming more powerful from match to match. Fight through three separate divisions of enemy contenders, increasing your network value as you work toward competing in the Nexagon, the ultimate fight for freedom.

The arena is completely destructible: structures, weapons and buildings can all be obliterated. You can take control of stationary weapons and rain mortar fire on rivals, or buy heavy hitters who can smash smaller enemy units into buildings or send them flying out of The Pit.
