Steel Colosseum is now live on Kickstarter! Steel Colosseum is a competitive team combat arena game for 2-4 players, featuring a series of scraps between two teams of two customisable fighting robots. Designed by Needy Cat Games, Steel Colosseum is also Zatu Games’ very first publishing deal.
Following our very first robot debut, the fast and agile Relay, we’re here to introduce the second member of the Steel Colosseum cast.
Introducing Shiba Zero
Are you a dog person? Well, you’re about to become a robot person.
Shiba Zero is a scrappy little robot with a good balance of power and agility. It may not be the toughest, but it shoulders a good amount of armour – and you can teach it all kinds of tricks. In fact, Shiba Zero was originally designed to rescue people after disasters. That means Shiba Zero is an expert at tearing up bits of scrap metal. It’s even clever enough to keep the scraps for upgrades. Shiba Zero’s other abilities include:
- Restrain lets Shiba make a Unique Action, grabbing onto an enemy robot and preventing it from moving away. This is great for keeping faster robots in check, or lining up a target for your other robot’s attack!
- Play Dead is a good one if Shiba’s backed into a corner – it fakes a shutdown, preventing enemy robots from attacking it for this round.
- Fetch is a utility card, letting Shiba gather a whole heap of Scrap at once.
