Gang Beasts

Gang Beasts is a multiplayer party fighting game that uses ragdoll physics to create chaotic and unpredictable battles. Players control soft, gelatinous characters and attempt to throw their opponents out of the arena or into environmental hazards. Matches take place in a variety of locations, each with unique layouts and dangers. The unpredictable physics and minimal controls make every fight different, with both skill and luck influencing the outcome.

Gameplay Structure And Arenas

Each round begins with players spawning in an arena such as rooftops, moving trucks, or industrial zones. The environments often feature moving parts, collapsing sections, or interactive elements that can be used offensively or defensively. The controls allow characters to punch, grab, lift, and climb, but the physics system means these actions can lead to unexpected results. This unpredictability keeps gameplay fresh and encourages creative approaches to eliminating opponents.

Character Abilities And Strategies

Despite the simple mechanics, players can develop effective strategies by mastering timing, positioning, and environmental use. Grabbing an opponent at the right moment or baiting them toward a hazard can be as effective as direct attacks.

Common Actions Include:

·         Punching to stagger or weaken opponents

·         Grabbing and lifting to throw enemies out of bounds

·         Climbing to escape dangerous areas

·         Using hazards like moving platforms or grinders

·         Holding onto edges to avoid elimination

Progression And Customization

Gang Beasts offers a variety of costumes and colors for players to personalize their characters. These cosmetic changes do not impact gameplay but allow for visual distinction in crowded matches. While there is no traditional progression system, players improve over time by learning how to control their character in different environments and how to use the physics system to their advantage.

Controls And Accessibility

The game supports both local and online multiplayer, with control schemes available for keyboard and controllers. Input mapping can be customized, and camera sensitivity can be adjusted for better visibility during matches. The combination of simple mechanics, unpredictable physics, and interactive arenas makes Gang Beasts a game that is easy to pick up but offers endless replay value for competitive and casual players alike.
