About Canyon Carnage

☠️💀⚠️ IMPORTANT NOTICE — HARDCORE PLAYERS ONLY 🦴⚰️🪦Canyon Carnage is intentionally difficult, unforgiving and sometimes frustrating. This game is not designed around accessibility, easy progression or giving the player a comfortable experience. It inherits its philosophy from old-school FPS games such as DOOM, Unreal Tournament and Serious Sam, where difficulty, punishment, repetition and mastery are part of the experience. You are expected to die. You are expected to fail. You are expected to learn. Enemies will overwhelm you.

Mistakes will be punished. Some encounters may initially seem unfair or even impossible until you understand the level, your movement, the enemies and the weapons available to you. If you mainly play games to relax, expect an easy experience, or become frustrated when a game forces you to retry difficult encounters, Canyon Carnage is probably not for you. The game is primarily intended for hardcore FPS players, speedrunners, score attackers and players who enjoy mastering difficult games. Before deciding that an encounter is impossible, we strongly recommend watching the speedrun videos available on the Steam page.

The entire game can be completed, but doing so requires understanding its mechanics and learning how to exploit movement, weapons, enemy weaknesses and level design. Canyon Carnage is Free to Play. You lose no money by trying it — but if suffering, dying and trying again isn't your idea of fun, you may want to save yourself the time.…
