Retrograde Arena

Retrograde Arena is a multiplayer twin-stick shooter for up to six players, where bullets do not kill but the environment can. You control a customizable Drone and use weapon recoil to propel yourself around neon-soaked arenas. Mastering recoil and each weapon’s impact is essential to winning.

Use physics to fight

Weapons serve both as attacks and as ways to move. Use recoil to evade or accelerate, deflect attacks with well-placed shots, body-slam opponents by propelling yourself into them, or blast pieces of scenery into them. Arenas have different layouts and, in some cases, distinctive features that call for different strategies. You may manipulate switches to move scenery, navigate tight corridors where one wrong move means certain death, or drift around dangerous corners to attack your opponents.

Game modes

Battle friends, strangers or AI opponents in three modes, each demanding different skills and play styles:

• Supersizer: fight giant Monster Drones.
• King of the Crown: claim the crown.
• Last Drone Standing: survive the onslaught.

Multiplayer

Play online or locally, including with friends on the same PC using multiple controllers. Each PC supports up to four controllers, and a PC can join an online match with up to six players. LAN play is also available.

Weapons and customization

The arsenal includes weapons with different properties, such as area effects, ricochets, reflections and brute force. You can unlock and choose different textures, thrusters and particle effects to customize your Drone.
