Contestants , Today I have a treat for all the potential fans of my show who haven’t been able to participate yet: FORCED SHOWDOWN is now available on Mac and Linux. Hopefully this will help a lot more contestants join the slaugh- erm, fun and games! This was made on update 44, so there are no changes from the PC version, except fixes for the platforms. I should mention that controller support…
Contestants , Today I bring you an update that works more behind the scenes than usual. I was focused on upgrading the engine to increase performance and fix some outstanding bugs, but I also found time to change some balance in the game, namely to bring certain daily strategies more in line with others. This also marks the end of the May season, which was sponsored by SpeedLink - stay tuned fo…
Contestants , It’s been a little while since I updated the show, but fear not, my dwarves have been hard at work with improvements! This time I’ve got an exciting, wacky, crazy, silly and ludicrous feature for you - Bonus Arenas! In the meantime the April Season of the dailies ended, a big thank you to our previous sponsors Razer and Xsplit, and a welcoming hand to our new sponsor SpeedLink who…
Contestants! I know a lot of you have been enjoying my show the last few weeks, and I’m now bringing you yet another feature so you can keep enjoying it!

Add extra challenge and reward to any program you have completed on basic difficulty. Pu…
Contestants! This marks the release of my first update to the show after it went live. Mostly I’ve been focusing on fixing issues reported by the community and polishing the last few things that didn’t make it into the release build. I’m working on something exciting at the moment, stay tuned for the next update! Here is the full changelog for Update 41: Balance Cards: · Taunt is now 2 charges…
Contestants! Such an exciting occasion, my circuits are truly quivering with anticipation! We’ve had a great Streamer Event, with a number of talented streamers playing my game for tons of hours and more than 110.000 hours viewed on Twitch! It has given me a lot of great feedback, especially streamers like Admiral_Bahroo finding some pretty impressive exploits. I have of course rectified these…
Contestants! My show is now polished and ready for you to suffer glorious and hilarious deaths, for the exclusive pleasure of my viewers. Pre-release event now live To celebrate this amazing milestone in the intergalactic history of needlessly violent entertainment, C-SAR Network has entered into a partnership with the Human streamer network Twitch to launch this show in style: Super awesome ev…
Contestants! We’re nearing the reveal of my super secret event on the 23rd of March, but I wanted to give you an update before that. If you’re wondering where update 37 went, it was a hidden update for some, but now everything is aligned. :) In this update I’ve added a new daily mode, the Equality daily, in which everyone has the same Contestant, companion and deck, fighting the same challenges…
Contestants! I’ve been brewing up some changes for a little while but I simply couldn’t wait to share them with you. This time I’ve focused a lot on making performance work better, fixing issues with crashes and low framerates and adding my world famous “Ugly but Fast” Quality setting, in case you didn’t care about bleeding your eyes out! I’m very excited to hear your feedback on this new updat…
Is this on? Great. *Ahem* Contestants! I am C-SAR, the Computer Simulated Arena Referee, and my Human Interaction chip has finally been fixed. I no longer need to rely on human intermediaries in relaying updates for my show(down, hehe). Anyway, you’re probably here to fight, aren’t you? And what a fight it will be! Now we even have Camera bots to record the whole thing. Your deaths will be immo…
Champions, As some of you may have noticed, we renamed the game to FORCED SHOWDOWN just before christmas. Apparently someone had released a game called Eternal Arena shortly before our Kickstarter, so we had to make a change :) The update this week is focused on the introduction, with the first part of the game being integrated into the normal campaign flow so you can get to keep your points ;)…
Champions, This time we’re bringing back progression! Champions, Companions and cards are now unlocked through play rather than by default. This also means progress has been wiped this patch. It’s highly likely that another progress wipe will be necessary in January as we’re still fixing the details of the quests. Features · Wheel of Fortune · Earn gold from campaigns based on how far you made…
Champions, This time we’ve introduced the last major element to the dailies (we think) with Seasons. They’re a collection of your daily scores across a longer period, so we can clearly see who spends the most time playing the game ;) We also added a second version of the Garden world, and finished up the Voice acting and Path to Recognition structure (you can now lose it if you are defeated too…
Champions, We’ve been working on a repeatable loop of the game for a while, and we finally have a real rogue-like mode for you to try out. After completing the Path to Recognition you will unlock the Path to Glory, in which you can actually lose and have to start over, so plan your choices well! We’ve also included a new input system in this update. This will make it possible to change your key…
Champions, Since the introduction of the Chamber Hall a bunch of things have been disabled. This time we’re reintroducing boons (formerly known as upgrades). As you gain more fame, you will now also gain more power for your Showdown with the boss. For this update we had to change the profiles, which means the progress is wiped for anyone who played before. Features · Campaign boons introduced:…
Hey everyone, We did a quick little patch this time to fix some of the issues people reported from the Monday release. Most importantly we fixed the black screen issue for AMD cards and did a bunch of optimization. Features · Cards unlocked: Last Stand, Solace in power, Brofist Blink · Optimization pass: Plenty of behind the scenes things are running more efficient through an engine update, mem…
Hello everyone, It’s been a while since we updated, as some of you may have noticed we’ve been busy doing a Kickstarter for the remaining funding for Eternal Arenas and also releasing our first game FORCED on Xbox One and PS4. But that doesn’t mean we haven’t been working on the game ;) Today we’ve got a massive patch for you with a change to the way we do the campaign structure which we’re now…
We just launched the Kickstarter to support the completion of FORCED: Eternal Arenas! We have been in development for 2 years, and the fact that we’ve been able to get so much feedback from you all here in the Steam forums has been amazing! Unfortunately our treasury is starting to run out and we really need your help! How can you do this? Most importantly go to our Kickstarter and support the…
