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.
With this blog, we conclude our introductions and sneak peeks into the exciting robot fighters of Steel Colosseum. And for such a gigantic occasion, it’s only natural that we introduce to you a very gigantic robot.
Introducing Juggernaut
Juggernaut is all about demolition. So much so, that it doesn’t have much in the speed or agility department. But who needs speed when you’re packing endless destruction ability?
If you’re having trouble catching up with your opponents, there’s no need to worry. You’ll have the option of some powerful upgrades – including one that allows Juggernaut to attack first every time. It’s also got an incredible amount of armour. You’ll have a hard time taking out Juggernaut, even with critical damage!
And if you’re somehow still not impressed, Juggernaut can use its wrecker arms to hit two enemies at once. It’s so strong that it can even flip them around to expose their weak sides.
- Arena obstacles are a menace to Juggernaut. They get in the way, slow it down, and give its opponents a place to hide. Don’t worry though, the Demolish card is here to fix that, letting you remove obstacles from play entirely. They’ll soon run out of places to hide!
- Bulldoze lets Juggernaut push its engine to the max, giving it a burst of speed. If any other robots get in the way, they’ll lose some armour (and you’ll claim its scrap automatically!)
- Smash isn’t a complicated card, but it’s a perfect statement of intent for Juggernaut. You can’t move, but you can make a +2 attack – that’s a terrifying 4 damage to each target square if you’re using the Wrecker Arms, enough to clear even Sentinel’s front armour in a single hit.
