Old-School FPS Style Reflex Arena Now on Steam!

Inspired by old-school fast-twitch first-person arena shooters Quake 3 and Unreal, Reflex Arena is now fully available on Steam. The game project was originally launched in 2014 as a Steam Early Access title and was a kickstarter campaign but failed to meet their fund-raising goals. Turbo Pixel Studios which developed the game forged on ahead despite this initial setback and now released the game officially for fans who have been waiting.

After the browser-based Quake Live was pulled offline in 2015 to make way for the new Quake Champions title, fans of old-school arena shooters have been looking for a similar old-school FPS gaming feel popular in the late 90s. Reflex Arena specifically was influenced by the Challenge ProMode Arena mod for Quake 3 Arena, built on a DirectX engine made from scratch. It includes an in-game map and replay editor, customization of player cosmetics, rendering settings, and a movement system that allows for stair-jumping, double-jumping, strafe-jumping and of course, rocket-jumping.

Reflex Arena recreates the lightning-fast twitch gameplay of the golden age of first-person arena shooters. It’s the best of both worlds: the speed and precision of a classic 1990s shooter, reborn inside a bleeding-edge 3D engine custom-built for the latest gaming hardware.

In the 21st century, first-person shooters abandoned the brutal purity of Quake III Arena and Unreal Tournament, but indie studio Turbo Pixel decided it was time for a comeback. There are no chest-high walls to take cover behind here, and no profound insights into the horrors of war—Reflex Arena is nothing but fast, competitive, first-person fun.

Reflex Arena retails for $10.99 with the Reflex 4-pack containing bonuses available for $32.99. To celebrate the Steam launch however, the game is being offered with a 15% discount.
