Chambara

Chambara is an independent PC, PS4 and XONE game by Overly Kinetic studio created in the Dare to be Digital competition in 2014. A few months after the premiere of the early version of the production (available for free on the official website) in digital distribution on PCs, it was appreciated by the jury of British BAFTA awards. He received a statuette in the category Ones to Watch.

The game is an unusual project designed to play in a local multiplayer. The production action takes place in a two-colour world, in which we stand up to fight as a ninja. The gameplay is based on using colors to hide and attack enemies with surprise. If, for example, we are a black warrior, we become invisible by the wall of the same color, although the opponent looking at us not directly, but from the side, for example, can see the shape of the character, thus exposing us. The game is therefore based on quiet movement and careful observation of the environment, because literally every place can be endangered. Naturally, this also works the other way round.

Chambar is designed for up to four players. However, the creators did not implement a network multiplayer, so the game takes place only locally, on one computer. Meetings are played in various modes on several prepared maps. The whole is complemented by a minimalist, three-dimensional graphic design.
