Fight with a Board of Effects
Dystopia VS Distortion is a pedalboard-building battle game where you build your deck with effects pedals that shape your guitar’s tone.
The combination and order of the pedals on your board change how your attacks behave, creating a battle system unlike anything else.
Collect Wild and Unpredictable Pedals
A huge variety of pedals can be found throughout the game.
Overdrive, Delay, Compressor, Booster, and more.
Mix and match them to build the nastiest board in your own style.
Some pedals come with effects so insane, you won’t believe your ears.
Take on the Worst Days with a Guitar
Long ago, humanity abandoned flesh and chose mechanical bodies built to last forever.
Maybe they were chasing eternal prosperity.
But that future didn’t last.
When the central control system went haywire, the machines turned on each other and became relentless killing machines.
Soon, they became a threat to the few humans who had refused to give up their bodies.
Years later, a lone girl finds a guitar in the ruins.
It is the last spark of hope—the only thing that might bring heart back to this broken land.
And so she plays.
To push back against the worst days.
To drown out the noise.
To survive.
