Press release:
Greetings to all our viewers who are already excited about the event of the year on Planet Piston! We guarantee a day of child-friendly, ultra-explosive steampunk robotic family fun for those who cheer on the steam-bot champion of any nation!

Fight to the rhythm of industrial beats through incredibly fast, family-breaking, controller-flinging exciting matches! Rejoice as you dismantle your opponents in a shower of robotic debris – or despair at your loss when your own bot explodes under the heavy fire of crazy weapons!

Feel the vibration of the chest-pounding industrial music! In a nutshell… welcome to Nation Breakers: Steam Arena, the sport of choice of all steam-kind!

Coded Clay Interactive announces today that its debut game, the 2D-action-steampunk-destructathon “Nation Breakers: Steam Arena“, will be released on Steam Early Access on November 18th.

Nation Breakers is an online multiplayer platform fighting game where you compete in frenetic battles (local multiplayer and single-player for now — online play will be implemented later) controlling glass-cannon battle bots in increasingly dangerous and dynamic arenas.

Pick your steam-bot! Destroy your enemies! Dismantle your friends and BRUTALLY disassemble your loved ones

In Nation Breakers you fight in insanely fast, single-hit-kill battles where your skills and reflexes make the difference. The game features ever-flowing and changing arenas, full of hazards and bordered with portals that players can use for both defense and offense.

Although focused on its multiplayer modes, Nation Breakers: Steam Arena will also include two single-player modes. The first is a single-player practice mode where you can hone your skills fighting quick battles against the AI.

The game also features a single-player mode for those looking for a real challenge: Arena Run, a mad dash through the 12 levels of each theme, with each match throwing unique challenges at you, trying to get the highest score possible depending on your playstyle and difficulty — and with a dynamic AI that adjusts its behavior based on your performance! Compare your score with other players on Steam and top the ranks!

With these 3 game modes (for now) and 48 arenas divided into 4 themes with 12 levels and a unique weapon each, Nation Breakers offers a huge variety from the very beginning.

Every theme is inspired by one of the Planet Piston nations present in the game: Valvis arenas are full of light festival lanterns that drop beneath your feet, explosive lanterns and confetti cannons. Gearland arenas feature industrial metal works factories with swinging smelter bowls, switching molten molds and dimming lights.

Beware the volatile and dangerous hazards, lab threatening, spitting acid vials, sticky sludge and slippery-yet-destructible glass chemical balls of Chemelot arenas. Don’t forget to fight to the powerful beat of the industrial soundtrack of the game, a brilliant, chest-hammering score composed by independent musician George Lever (G1 Productions).

KEY FEATURES:
– Pick your favorite steam-bot and fight in insanely fast single-hit-kill battles where pure skill makes the difference!
– Practice solo or test your friendships in local coop!
– 4 themes, each consisting of 12 levels, up to a total of 48 dynamic fighting arenas!
– Race for pickups! Dynamite, Laser, Missiles, Shields and more!
– Ever-flowing and hectic arenas, bordered with portals for you to dart your way to safety… or to shoot unaware enemies in the back!

ABOUT CODED CLAY INTERACTIVE
Mid 2018. Zach had just jumped ship from film school to better afford looking after the family. Still yearning for a new creative outlet, he binged on coding tutorials late in the night.

Slowly, a game prototype begun to form. Foolishly proud, Zach reached out for assistance via the engine forums. Luckily, the call was answered by Damien, a local science teacher and fellow father with a few games under his belt and an early prototype of Nation Breakers ready at hand.

It quickly became apparent that both our sons were great friends and that Damien was a FAR better programmer. Meaning that Zach should stick to scribbling, best not he break everything…

What originally started as an “I’ll draw yours, if you code mine.” kind of deal, “Nation Breakers: Steam Arena” became their soul focus and the birth of a fierce creative union that’s shown no sign of slowing down.

As the identity of Coded Clay Interactive manifested, their creative values came to the surface. CCI strives to deliver quality, fun and engaging experiences for all those who spend their valuable time on our games.
