Downtown Showdown is a first-person movement-focused arena shooter where players use their momentum in combat to defeat waves of enemies. Dash, slide, head stomp, trip, launch, and jump to survive the onslaught of unique enemies in a game that rewards movement in combat. Master the flow of the arena, upgrade components, and unlock weapon pickups in a sui generis blend of genres and mechanics.
