Halftone Gaming :

The new 1.0 trailer teases content to be released for free this September (exact date TBA).

Boston, Massachusetts, 10 June, 2024 | Halftone Gaming is excited to share a new gameplay trailer for the upcoming 1.0 update for BloodDome99. The trailer shows off new and previously unseen arenas, enemies, weapons, perks, a new boss, and more. All the content shown in this trailer (along with more unannounced content) will be added to the game for free this September. The exact release date has not yet been announced.

In this retrowave roguelite players take the role of a regular American trying to make ends meet through participation in the retro-futuristic gladiator arena BloodDome where the only rules are violence and capitalism. Use beeguns, flamethrowers, hordes of mice, and other inventive arms with dozens of unique perks to create game-changing builds. Be careful what you spend though, because nothing is free in the BloodDome and every upgrade brings you farther from your ultimate goal- earning enough to buy your freedom!

“We’re expecting the 1.0 update to roughly double the content in BloodDome99” said Mike, founder of Halftone Gaming.
