Description

CHOP is a 2D arena fighting game with a hell of lot of gore and fast-paced action. Swords will fly, bodies will be chopped, tons of blood will be shed and you'll probably end up hating your friends !

History

The first prototypes were made back in 2015. The idea was to build something competitive and fun to play in the same room, something players miss from the 90's. Indeed, online multiplayer tends to be the only option to enjoy games with friends nowadays. After many iterations we came up with the game mechanic that makes CHOP really stand out : Rush Out mode.

About Claws_Up_Games

Boilerplate
CHOP is a fast-paced arena fighting game with a twist : your goal is not to have the highest kill count but to escape the arena by taking a portal. One hit to kill, respawn almost instantly : CHOP is meant to give a feeling close to what you can experience in fast FPS such as Quake or DOOM, mixed with platformer setting and influences from Towerfall, Nidhogg and Super Smash Bros. Blood and guts in a torn apart world, with a comic book vibe : CHOP speaks to those who like gore, comics, post-apo and are looking for a supercharged party game.
