Gameplay in Hot Shot Burn is top-down and sees players trying to shoot their opponents to remove them from the game. It includes;
- Fast-paced, unpredictable multiplayer action for 2-4 players
- Play on the couch, online, or both!
- Loads of arenas, each with unique hazards and rules
- Feel the effects of powerful mutators that can warp reality and turn a match on its head.
- Vibrant art style inspired by Saturday morning cartoons
- Powered the thumping tunes of SYNTHWAVEEEEEEE!
The developers creating Hot Shot Burn are passionate about it. The team is hoping to give players an experience unlike those you get today and to give them something that’s simply pure fun.
I remember playing video games with my brother when we were young. We would goof around and laugh at each other and fight with our elbows. We made this game because we hope to take you back to these good times. So gather your buddies and beat the hell out of each other!
