How it feels

A relentlessly fast and intense twin-stick shooter where skill alone determines victory in compact, chaotic arena battles.

What players say

Players are strongly split on HEXOPODS. Many praise it as a fun couch multiplayer game with ship abilities that add a tactical layer, while a significant number criticize it for being a minimalist local-only 4-player arena shooter with no single player and no online, some calling it a ripoff of the 1962 SpaceWar. The experience hinges entirely on having friends in the same room.
