Your body is your build
Nine module types turn the chain into armour, a weapon platform, a score engine or a volatile mix of all three.
Arru Studios Arcade
Chain Failure
Your body is your arsenal.
A combat-first arcade Snake roguelite set inside a collapsing digital system. Build your chain, survive the pressure and reclaim what gets severed.
Combat Snake, rebuilt
Every segment changes the run.
Your chain is made from individual armour, weapon, score and utility modules. Every module can be hit, severed and reclaimed, so each turn carries a real cost.
Damage tells a story
Enemies sever the chain at the exact point of impact. Recover detached modules quickly or lose them for the rest of the run.
Built for repeat runs
Fight through nine waves, three bosses, more than 25 upgrades, Critical difficulty, Endless mode and deterministic daily runs.
