Developer Knifing Mantis announced 'Split Circuit Arena', a two-player cooperative action game for PC via Steam. Two players each control one side of a single combat robot, coordinating movement and attacks to survive waves of enemies. The game is in prototype stage, with future playtests planned.
Knifing Mantis, a two-person development team, announced 'Split Circuit Arena' on June 17. The game requires two players to each control one side of a single combat robot, including its wheels, saw arms, and claw parts. Moving straight demands synchronized input; if one player moves forward alone, only one tire turns. The robot has a five-level durability gauge, and physics simulation can cause unpredictable behavior from environmental hazards like spinning hammers and swinging morning stars. The game is in prototype stage, and the team plans to refine physics, damage calculations, and add content before release.
