Key information
Featherweight Games officially released the gladiator-themed roguelike action title Chained Beasts on October 16, 2026. The game supports cooperative play for up to four participants who must survive chaotic battles within an arena.
The core mechanic involves players being physically tethered together by chains. Success requires precise coordination, as failing to synchronize movements can cause characters to become entangled in obstacles. Conversely, mastering this connection allows players to use the chains to ensnare enemies and shift the tide of combat.
Progression involves training characters into seasoned warriors by acquiring powerful skills and purchasing equipment with earned currency. While players can utilize medicine to alleviate the physical toll of combat, the developer notes that these treatments may carry severe side effects as injuries accumulate over time.
The game is available across multiple platforms with varying pricing. The PC version on Steam is priced at 2600 yen, while the PlayStation 5 edition costs 3080 yen. Additionally, the Xbox Series X|S version is available for 2350 yen, and the Nintendo Switch release is priced at 3000 yen.
