With tense and tactical gameplay packaged in visually striking dual color environments, Chambara delivers the nostalgia of classic local multiplayer gameplay for modern gaming consoles.

Armed with their melee weapon and a shuriken to stun opponents, players must stalk and ambush their opponents by utilizing the game’s core mechanic, disappearance.

Disappearance utilizes Chambara’s stunning visual aesthetic that presents the world in a distinctive two color palette, forcing players to camouflage themselves against like-colored environments to hide in plain sight. By constantly moving around and hiding in plain sight, players can ambush their opponents to be the last one standing.

"We really wanted to recapture the feeling of playing split-screen games with friends on the couch as those were the games we all enjoyed growing up and throughout college," said Kevin Wong, Chambara team. "With very tense gameplay moments and a playfully artful tone, Chambara is exactly the kind of game we wish we played while growing up, and we hope it ends up being important to someone in their formative times now."

“When we started as a gaming publisher that works with our students, our goal was not to just publish great games, but to provide memorable experiences that can only come out as an independent title,” said Danny Bilson, professor of advanced gameplay of USC Games. “We are extremely proud of team ok’s Chambara for its striking aesthetic and refined multiplayer gameplay and look forward to their future success.”
