Brutal Arena - Gareth Lockett

Brutal Arena is a 100% FREE, local multiplayer, action arena game for the OUYA.



Brutal Arena is a fun, lowest-common-denominator, local multiplayer action arena.
Simply have your character grab a weapon as fast as possible and blow the other players away!
Makes a great Friday-night-beer-and-pizza game with friends.



Although technically still in beta (More playable characters, levels, weapons, and game types to come) Brutal Arena currently supports:

• Up to 4 human players
• 6 playable characters
• 4 game types
• 6 arena levels
• A built in controller mapping utility

For more information check out the Brutal Arena development blog at www.brutalarena.com

Enjoy!

Hey! I like beer and pizza and blowing up my friends! We'll have to give it a spin this weekend.

The game looks pretty fun. Is it only local multi-player though, or are there bots? I have no one to play with :/

Yes only local multiplayer (For now)

There are AI bots. Although they aren't that smart (Eg see them plummet into the fiery abyss on the 'Lava' level )

I'm currently working on improving the AI code but it's a fine balance between having them do dumb things and making them too good

Just in time for Halloween, a new Brutal Arena version is now available.


It adds 2 new spooky characters and a frightening level

Available for free in the OUYA store now or grab the .apk and experimental PC/Mac/Linux versions from the Brutal Arena development blog.

Thanks for trying it out.

Do you know what brand/type of controller it is?

I'm looking to add built in support for "Rock Candy Gamepad for PS3" and a some generic USB controllers in the next update.
