About the Game

Beefarena

Aliens have invaded the planet, and they seem to have taken special interest in earth's livestock! 

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to help MeggaCorps rid the planet of this mutant menace by venturing out into the world and defending its people from the deadly herd. While on tour, you'll meet new people, find weapons, and face the most fearsome boss cows on the ranch. 

Welcome to Beefarena, a wild roguelike ride through an alien cattle catastrophe!

  • Progress through a series of retro-inspired action packed platforming combat challenges to find refugees and listen to their stories

  • Stages randomly generated from a collection of hundreds of hand crafted rooms across 9 distinct biomes, with new rooms that unlock as you complete each one

  • Multiple paths through the game via warps and other secrets.

  • 10+ Bosses at launch

  • Fill your locker with the 20+ unlockable weapons with dozens of items to tailor them to your playstyle

  • Leaderboards and Career Stat Tracking

  • Local 2 player co-op

  • More bosses, rooms, enemies, and items coming in future, free, content updates!

Volunteer for Megga Corps

Enlist in Megga Corps today for your chance at glory! Confront the herd across 9 randomized biomes-- No two tours of duty are ever the same. Each biome has its own unique theme and challenges. Once you've mastered an area, more challenges will unlock!

Do you have what it takes to wrangle this invasion force and liberate earth?

Build Your Arsenal

Fill your weapon locker with the weapons you find in combat and enhance your firepower with items available in Megga Corp vending machines, conveniently located near the hottest invasion sites! Use weapons like the flamethrower, chainsaw, or the electrify the bovine beasts with the cattle prod!

Collect items that will enhance your weapons and imbue other special powers and passive abilities-- like Firewalking. Effective inventory curation will be essential to success out in the field!

Each time you find a weapon or item in the field, it will be added to your stockpile back at Beef Post to enhance your firepower for future runs!

Round up Your Posse

Bring a friend and battle together with couch co-op! At any time a second player can pick up a controller and jump into the action with the press of a button. Recruit your most skilled allies to bring liberation to earths homesteads, or get someone to bait all those heat seeking rockets!
