Pyroblazer is a futuristic combat racing game developed by Eipix Entertainment for Microsoft Windows. The game is published by Candella Software. The game was released on Steam, Gamersgate, and Direct2Drive on November 13, 2008.
In Pyroblazer, players take control of futuristic anti-gravity combat craft called Blazers and pilot them against each other across the lands of a world known as New Aperion. Players attack other players by collecting weapon and ammo upgrades throughout a race, and new, more powerful Blazers can be unlocked as a player wins the single-player Championship mode. [1]
Aside from the single-player modes, six-person local multiplayer would also be featured in Pyroblazer, as well as an online multiplayer mode. [1]
However, the multiplayer component of Pyroblazer was later removed due to funding.
On November 24, 2008, an exclusive playable demo was released to the Total Gaming Network. The demo features two different levels: Wastelands of Aperion (Daytime) and Fusion Sphere (Nighttime). Along with these two levels, gamers can choose from four different Blazers to race and shoot their way through the courses. [2]
A multiplayer video game is a video game in which more than one person can play in the same game environment at the same time, either locally and on the same computing system, locally and on different computing systems via a local area network, or via a wide area network, most commonly the Internet. Multiplayer games usually require players to share a single game system or use networking technology to play together over a greater distance; players may compete against one or more human contestants, work cooperatively with a human partner to achieve a common goal, or supervise other players' activity. Due to multiplayer games allowing players to interact with other individuals, they provide an element of social communication absent from single-player games.
