Arc is the first prototype to stand at the threshold of a new FPS genre that will revolutionize action games. Being turn based, you set out a plot of movement, environment interaction and weapon of choice and start the action. Now it is up to you to fire at will towards the onrushing opponent, dodge for cover and simply stay alive till the next turn. When further developed, Arc will bridge the orchestration of action in movies with the freedom of choice in games. This humble beginning is but a taste of things to come.

Each turn is split in an strategic mode and a action mode. The game is best played multiplayer with atleast 2v2. Bot support is experimental.Strategic Mode:In strategic mode you can't hurt your opponents but choose how to move. Aim at a node (arrow or stop-sign) and press fire (default: left button) to select it. You can select as many nodes as you like and undo a selection with alt-fire (default: right button). The selected nodes will be your movement path in action mode. The strategic mode will end when you press the Use-key (default: E) or the timer at the bottom of the screen runs out. Other controls in strategic mode are:Jump (default: space) - throw grenade at a node which will explode after 1 turn.Weapon change (default: mouse scroll) - change between the 3 weapons.
Action Mode:In action mode you will move along the nodes you choose in strategic mode. Here you can fire and kill your opponent also with the weapon you choose in strategic mode. You can sprint by holding the walking-key (default: shift) to move faster - this will consume stamina which regenerates when you don't use it. Finally you can also crouch to dodge behind covers by holding the crouch-key (default: c).
