Creed Arena Preview


One of Microsoft's Dream Build Finalists final build games has been launched on Xbox Live Indie Games. After being one of 20 finalists in October, Creed Arena is set in a future arena against gladiators in front of a crowd of spectators. After being selected, extra development time was spent and the inclusion of multiplayer led to the launch last week.

The core game mechanic involves impressing the crowds, and at the end of each challenge the gladiators move up the popularity chart according to how many new fans they have gained. When a gladiator entertains the crowds with a melee kill or an impressive shot, he unlocks "crowd rage". This is an intense rampage during which the gladiator jumps higher, runs faster and plays tougher for a period of time.

Features include:
• 16 unique arenas, each with a different challenge
• Switch between top-down and first person modes
• Solo Championship - become the most popular gladiator in the tournament
• Splitscreen Co-op - play through the game with a friend
• Online Multiplayer - get to the top of the global popularity chart
• Splitscreen Online Multiplayer - two people can play online together on one XBOX 360

Having viewed the work in action, this pushes the bar of what we've come to expect from Indie games with sharp graphics and genuinely interesting looking gameplay. The game is available on the Indie Marketplace now for 400ms points. Look out on Game Attic soon for more information.
