Mar 14, 2019

Guardians Of The Past

Guardians of the Past is a fast-paced arena brawler where you use gadgets to battle with or against your friends in a variety of arenas constructed by YOU! Build an array of launch-pads, fields of electrical chaos or even a sea of fire. With hundreds of combinations, every game is unique!

Hey Guardians! This update brings a whole batch of new features and fixes along with some groundwork for future features and mechanics coming soon! [h1]--------------------------[/h1] [h1]STEAM DEMO![/h1] Over the past few weeks we have been working on a Steam Demo! This will allow players to get a feel for a more simple version of the game with limited features. The idea of this is to allow you guys to experience a small part of the game to help you decide if it's your cup of tea! Which we're already pretty sure it is, who doesn't like an arena full of your friends surrounded by gunfire, flames, traps and explosions??
