An update for Foe Frenzy was just released! The Steam, Discord and itch.io pages for the game also received a major overhaul along with this update. Courious about the new state of the game? Check out the highlighted sections in this copy of the new store page look! For a better insight into some of the new features, you can also check out the previous post about the public beta for this update.
Battle up to three of your friends locally or using online play. Pick up weapons, armor, healing items and more and use them to damage your enemies before they run out! Play locally with up to two players on one keyboard and additional controllers, or use Steam, Discord or IP-based Multiplayer to battle over the internet!
Use the terrain to your advantage on over 14 different maps. Run through hot deserts and wet swamps and chop through vines and jump down cliffs to reach the best weapons; stumble through caves where your enemies lurk in the dark and make yourself vulnerable by swimming through lakes! Select the map you're best at and hope that it gets picked over the ones that your friends chose!
Fight with over 15 different items, from swords, bows and leather armor to flamethrowers and teleporters. Each item only lasts a short time, so choose carefully what move to make next! Pick up random effect items that cause a disadvantage to your opponents, but have a small chance of causing you trouble too. Slow down your friends, invert their controls, or make yourself invincible!
Pick the color and the look of your battler. Unlock Achievements to gain access to more character designs! Once you're really good, enable expert mode for yourself for a greater challenge against your friends - lower HP, item durability and speed will make it more difficult for you to win!
Defeat your friends before the timer runs out to win! The results screen shows how your friends were killed, and who killed them, so make your actions count! If the timer reaches a minute remaining, the game goes into Tiebreaker mode: Each player only has a single health point remaining until the end. Kill your last opponent in this exciting battle and emerge victorious!

Hey everyone! Over the past little while, I have been working hard on Foe Frenzy's first major update. See here what that'll mean for the game and how you can test the new features already!

Fancy Ui

Remember the old, slow and boring Ui? Well, it's been spiced up quite a bit. Check it out:

Battle Effects

While seeing you all play Foe Frenzy, I noticed that the battles in the game can be spiced up quite a bit. The coming update will introduce Battle Effects to the game: Items that spawn randomly around the map during battle, that, when picked up by a player, will inflict effects to their enemies: Slowness, icey stunning and more!

Tiebreaker

Ever feel like a battle just drags on for too long while the last two players hide from each other? Well, not anymore: During the last minute of battle, players will now see their health bars sliding off the screen - everyone only has a single health point remaining. In this situation, the tiniest mistake could cost anyone that win.

Try It Now

To get access to the beta for this upcoming update, all you have to do is go into your Steam Library, right-click on Foe Frenzy, select Properties, head into the Betas tab and select the "beta" branch from the dropdown! Have fun trying it out!
