DESPA playtest

by Gore Games

DESPA is a fast-paced multiplayer arena shooter built for after-work warriors with more bills than free hours. Neon kill-boxes, railguns, and carbon katanas meet a five-second respawn loop, so every death flips into revenge before your coffee cools.

It's free to ask. The developer chooses who gets in.

How to join the DESPA playtest

  2. Request access to the DESPA playtest there. It's free and doesn't commit you to anything.
  3. The developer lets players in, often in batches, so it can take a while. Steam emails you when you're in, and the playtest appears in your library.

About DESPA

Welcome to DESPA — a brutal, neon-lit arena shooter built for after-work warriors who’ve got more stress than free time. No bullshit. No downtime. Just steel, speed, and vengeance.

  • Instant matchmaking, 7-minute rounds. Blink and you're dead.
  • Fair aim-assist: controller or mouse, skill wins.
  • 140-tick servers. Lag? Not here.
  • Dash, wall-run, grapple. If you’re not moving, you’re losing.
  • This is the arena. It doesn’t care who you are, just how you kill.
  • Smart spawns put you behind the bastard who killed you.
  • No mercy. No rules. No humanity.
  • Every kill counts: earn medals that unlock badass skins.
  • 15-minute daily quests. Done by your second espresso.
  • No pay-to-win. Ever. Just gear that looks lethal.
  • Old-school heart. 2026 muscle.
  • Every shot is earned. Every frag is personal.
  • Built for speed. Designed for chaos.

If your PC survived DOOM 2016, you're ready. Are you?
