Nubs! Arena is free on Steam only until May 16, offering permanent access; DLC available adds extra content like new characters and skins.
Developers Rangatang and Glowfish Interactive are offering their arena brawler Nubs! Arena free on Steam, but only for one day, May 15. The brightly colored and chaotic indie title offers a fast-paced experience, with local co-op for up to 4 players and 20-person online multiplayer. Characters in Nubs! Arena are, fittingly, called Nubs, tiny and quirky warriors battling to be the last one standing.
The game also offers roguelite progression, with the Nubs starting out with basic weapons and then scrounging in chests found on the battlefield or looting downed foes to grab some needed upgrades. Every battle has five rounds, and at the end of each, players will select one passive ability to carry into the next, with every round becoming increasingly chaotic. But even death is not necessarily the end. A knocked-out player is transformed into a floating star just hoping to respawn, but if an opponent captures the star first, it’s game over.

Arena, like the Chronicle Chaos Pack that adds nine additional Nubs to play as, along with six costume colors and seven emotes.

Customization is one of the highlights of Nubs! Arena. Players have a selection of outfits and colors to personalize their Nubs, and those who jump into the game during the first week of release will also get the Royal Nub skin, complete with a golden crown, for free. Also, in the days following the game’s launch, various content creators will be sharing codes for even more free skins.
Of course, the brawling is what’s most important in the game, and Nubs! Arena has plenty to offer there as well. There are team battles and free for alls, as well as a variety of arenas filled with spikes, lava, and other health hazards. The developers have plenty planned for the future as well, with the roadmap teasing new weapons, passive abilities, enemies, seasonal items, and a level called Spook Manor.
