What Is Chained Beasts?

Chained Beasts is a 1-4 player co-op gladiator roguelike by Featherweight Games, the studio behind the smash-hit Rocket Pockets. You take on an animal persona and fight as a gladiator in a colosseum — chained to your friends. The chains are the game: use them to trip enemies, swing hazards, rescue teammates and turn the arena itself into a weapon, all while the bloodthirsty crowd watches. Win them over, endure the physical and mental injuries the fights inflict, defeat fearsome bosses and survive the day.

This wiki is the fan-built companion from launch day — the mechanics written up as they're learned, the beasts and arenas catalogued, and the co-op tactics that a game this chaotic demands. Every page is written from play, updated as the metagame forms.
