Retrograde Arena

🧿Retrogarde Arena out now in Early Access!



Do you feel the vibe?



Our a stylish physics-based twin-stick shooter is out now in Early Access!



In Retrograde, weapons don't kill, but the environment does! Retrograde Arena completely reimagines the twin-stick formula with dynamic movement enhanced by weapon recoil.



Guns aren’t just for attack, they are for speed, dodging, sharp corners, and brutal counter-attacks. Weapon recoil, bouncing beams, and environmental (deadly hazards) awareness make Retrograde Arena an entirely new kind of competitive multiplayer experience.

🕹️Notice to all Past Maggots - The RetroWar Needs YOU!




>Initiating transmission...



Neon battle lines have been drawn and warriors from across the StellarNet are manning their Drones on the eve of the RetroWar. AI Corp, of course, stands on the side of what is good and pure, and profitable but our foes will stop at nothing to bring us down.

The RetroWar will take place across time and space, thanks to our propriety technology! In your (primitive) time you can take part in the Another Indie Discord Server, Discord.gg/AI.

The RetroWar will run from 21:00 (PST) Wednesday 20th of May to 21:00 (PST) Monday 25th of May

>Choose your side carefully, choose AI Corp!
>Select...


(1) The deadly Virals, a band of rogue AI and disenfranchised jobless scum, wish to delete humanity from the StellarNet and banish us to inhabiting Meat Sacks once more! You know how terrible that is!

(2) The extremist Freemergents believe we can just “get along” and that the StellarNet should belong to those with joy in their hearts, not money in their pockets

(3) AI Corp believes that humanity can be harnessed and put to work. Think of what we can do when everyone makes money. For US!

>Follow the link, follow the instructions, pick your faction, and download the totally free RetroWar applicated to join the fray.

Legends will rise, fates will be changed, and prizes will be shared!

(1)ALL PARTICIPANTS IN THE RETROWAR will receive a Custom set of RetroWar Skins for their Drone!

(2)ALL PARTICIPANTS IN THE WINNING TEAM will receive a FREE COPY of Retrograde Arena when it launches in Early Access on May 28th

(3)THE LEGEND, the one with the most kills, will receive all the above, plus 200 USD worth of Steam Credit!
