About This Game

FIRESTARTERS is a fast-paced arcade movement shooter with visual novel story cutscenes.

WELCOME TO STEEL

In the future, the world's top-rated livestream is STEEL, a Japanese gladiator bloodsport owned and operated by the nation's most notorious crime syndicate.

You play as Kera, the designated fighter for the sport's newest team of prisoners: the Firestarters. Once a formidable delinquent street kid from the back alleys of Okinawa, Kera now fights for the freedom of her newfound friends and atonement for her past sins.

OIL-STAINED BULLET TRAIN

Kera's performance-enhancing STEEL Battlesuit, custom-built pair of rocket skates, and expert-curated suite of Arena FPS weaponry grant best-in-class character movement and fully self-sufficient gunplay to all players brave enough to master the controls.

The blood-stained arenas of STEEL, resting places for the dead and nightmares for the living, are now your skatepark. Skate, slide, grind, and ground pound your way through each space, skillfully avoiding the savage mechanized claws of your enemies, until you're ready to really make your mark.

Unleash your arsenal of six devastating weapons on the android horde, and be rewarded with the spoils of combat. You will find no health, armor, or ammunition pickups in a STEEL Arena. You don't need them. If the world doesn't give, you'll take. Contestants who play the game with skill and strategy will find themselves flush with all the resources they'll ever need. Not just to survive, but to thrive.

NEVER FORGET THE IMPORTANCE OF ENTERTAINMENT

STEEL spectators won't stand for stagnation. It's not enough just to clear a Storm; every true competitor knows they can always play better, slay faster, and score higher. And the only thing the crowd loves more than a grisly death is a champion.

After completing a Storm for the first time in the story, return to it in Arcade mode to set an official high score. After a few attempts, you're sure to beat your old personal best. A few more and you could be standing over your Steam friends. And after that? Maybe you'll be the one to outpace and outscore all other players to stand atop the global leaderboard.
