Varion

Varion is a 3D top-down arcade-action brawler set in a futuristic universe. You control a robot and fight in procedurally generated, booby-trapped arenas, using bouncing shots to destroy opponents. Direct shots only stun them, and ammunition is limited: you reload by moving, so staying in one place leaves you vulnerable.

Combat and arenas

Dual-stick controls are designed to be easy to learn, while advanced moves and options let you develop combat techniques. You can dash to avoid shots, throw them back or push opponents, and use counterattacks, special actions and power-ups. The arenas include hazards such as exploding electrodes, gas jets, a roaming Minotaur and portals.

Power-ups include cluster shots, melee blades and IEM bombs. The changing terrain rewards quick reflexes and attention to the arena.

Battle and tournament modes

Local battles support 1 to 4 players, who can play solo or in teams. Match formats include 1v1v1v1, 2v2, 1v3 and 1v1v2. Battle and Tournament modes have a modular configuration tool with presets and options for creating customized matches.

Dungeon mode

In solo or co-op Dungeon mode, you face increasingly dangerous hordes of bots, explore and loot, take on challenges, unlock new environments and try to beat your high scores. Procedurally generated stages and customizable battle settings offer further ways to vary play.
