KillGames is an upcoming 3D arena fighting game developed and published by Lazy Studios. The game centers around various contestants attempting to win the KillGames, a massive annual tournament where people kill eachother in the most gruesome ways possible. The game will be released on May 24th, 2020 for the Nintendo Switch, Playstation 4, XBOX One and PC.
Plot
KillGames takes place in the distant future of 21XX in Neo York City. Much of the world is in ruins due to constant war and everything but major cities are desertous wastelands. Neo York City was one of the few surviving cities, but as a result, life there was quite boring. That was until a mysterious man named Adam introduced people to the KillGames, a massive tournament where you can watch people kill eachother in the most brutal ways possible. The tournament becomes extremely successful, becoming extremely popular and eventually becoming a tradition in Neo York City, being held every year. With the 25th KillGames coming very quickly, Adam wished to make this KillGames a bit different from the last. With help from the champion, Soul, he challenges anyone that if they can beat him, they will have any wish they desire granted. Knowing this, hundreds of people join, with the possibility to gain endless power. The game focuses on 16 competitors, each with their own story.
Gameplay
KillGames is a 3D arena-style fighting game where players must reduce their enemy's health bar to defeat them. Four players can fight eachother at a time.
Gameplay Mechanics
In KillGames, each character has a Health Bar and a Rage Meter. Your Health Bar goes down when you take damage from enemy attacks. If the Health Bar goes down enough, you will be killed, however, you will not lose. You actually have two Health Bars, a Normal Health Bar (which I just explained), and a True Health Bar. Once you lose all your Normal Health, you will lose True Health depending on the current rating. If your True Health isn't reduced to zero, you will respawn with full Normal health. However, if you lose all of your True Health, you die.
Your Rage Meter goes up when you take or deal damage. Once you have enough Rage, it gives you a Rage Bar, which can be spent to perform super-powerful Rage Attacks by pressing the R button. You can have up to 4 Rage Bars. If you are killed, you won't lose any Rage Meter.
One of the larger game mechanics in KillGames is the Rating. Since hundreds of people are watching you fight, obviously you want to entertain them. Everytime you and your enemy(s) attack, the rating grows. Once a player is killed, the rating determines how much True Health the enemy loses, with them losing more health the higher the ratings are. After this, the rating will decrease.
Basic Controls
In KillGames, your player can move with the Left-Stick and attack with the face buttons. You have three types of attacks:
- Light Attacks: Light Attacks are the fastest of your moves, but are the weakest overall. Often they will be the ones that you will use for combos.
- Heavy Attacks: Heavy Attacks are slow, but compensate for their slowness with great damage, and special abilities like launching, anti-airs, or the ability to go through certain attacks.
- Special Attacks: Special Attacks are moves will unique properties. Often these will include things like projectiles, or attacks that work in tandem with a character's gimmick.
Depending on the direction you are holding the control stick (either no direction, left/right, toward your enemy or away from your enemy), your character will perform a different attack.
The player can also perform a Jump to gain extra height or start an air combo, or Block to nullify attacks. However, if a player blocks for too long, or if the shield takes too much damage, it will break and become unavailable for some time. Grabs and other attacks will also go through these shields.
Finishers
When a character has low enough health, their health bar will begin glowing red and their character will look visibly exhausted. When this is happening, that character can be Finished. To initiate a finisher, the player will either need to perform a certain move (normally a Strong Attack, a Special Attack or a Pummel), or have the player come in contact with a hazard. During this, the victim will be brutally murdered in a gory fashion, often involving dismemberment, decapitation, evisceration, ripping out vital organs, skin or entire skeletons, etc. Trust me, they can get pretty intense. Certain finishers will put the enemy in a Helpless state. While in a Helpless state, the enemy is unable to do anything, but the player can follow up this finisher to add extra damage or combo into another finisher to increase the rating.
Controls
- Left C-Stick: Move Character
- Right C-Stick: Move Camera
- A: Light Attack
- B: Heavy Attack
- X: Special Attack
- Y: Jump
- L: Block
- R: Rage Attack
Techniques
- Target: Tapping the right stick allows players to target different enemies, making it easier to focus your attacks on a certain player.
- Dodge: Tap a direction while blocking to perform a dodge, allowing you to quickly move while dodging a potential attack.
- Parry: Activating or ending a block at the time an enemy attacks allows you to perform a Parry. This technique is useful for when the enemy is just barraging you with attacks, as the Parry will stun the enemy for a short time. However, performing this is risky, as it will leave you vulnerable.
- Grab: Press the light and heavy attack buttons at the same time to perform a Grab. This attack goes through blocks, and allows you to either a Pumel or a Throw.
- Pummel: Press the Light Attack button while grabbing enemies to perform a Pummel, dealing some damage.
- Throw: Press the Heavy Attack button while grabbing enemies to perform a Throw, to throw an enemy in a certain direction, potentially into an item or a deadly hazard.
- Target: Click on the left C-Stick to target a player. While targeting a player, all attacks will automatically be directed toward that player. In a 1v1, the enemy is always targeted, but you can switch between players if you fighting in a free-for-all.
Note: Controls shown here are shown as if the player is using a Nintendo Switch controller.

|
Central Station |
Neo York City's famous train station, the area is converted into an arena every year for the KillGames. All trips are cancelled, except for the trips to hell people will be going to when the trains that pass through the station run them over.
