Learn About the Game Fire Starter

Fire Starter drops you into a near future network built to craft lifelike virtual worlds for training and entertainment. A virus corrupts the system core and turns each simulation into a deadly maze. As a trapped participant you must clear shifting arenas and fight off dangerous constructs. Only by reaching the system heart and forcing it to collapse can you break free.

You choose one of six fighters with unique gear and skills. The soldier soaks up damage with tough armor while the amazon darts around foes. A heavy weapons ace rains rockets and machine fire. The spy slips past opponents to land silent kills. A hacker corrupts each arena’s code and a chemist brews bombs and med packs. Winning battles and clearing missions hands you experience points to invest in your character. Investing in stamina boosts health and agility quickens movement. Accuracy hones weapon control while strength raises damage. Reaction trims reload times and tech unlocks powerful upgrades.

Each arena feels like a puzzle of corridors and platforms wrapped in surreal textures. Foes range from glitching humanoids to rogue machines and mutated creatures born of the virus. You pick up weapons from basic pistols to heavy energy rifles lying in the open. Gear upgrades hide behind locked doors or drop from bosses guarding critical areas. As tests grow tougher you shift tactics to evade ambushes and claim mission objectives. Environments flip between shattered city streets, rusted industrial yards and alien horizons bathed in harsh light. A custom engine drives detailed lighting and particle effects that keep each level feeling alive.
