FIRESTARTERS is a high-speed arcade movement FPS in which players take on the role of Kero, a former delinquent now a prisoner who joins the live-streamed gladiator blood sport 'STEEL', run by a criminal syndicate.
The game features no health or ammo drops. Instead, players must take resources from defeated enemies. It runs on a handcrafted in-house engine built by the indie studio.
Alex Hart commented that he wanted to create a work that feels like injecting adrenaline into the system.
The project combines high-speed movement action with arena FPS gameplay and adopts visual novel-style story cutscenes.
