[h3]Balanced for the best experience for all players[/h3]

After almost one year of Early Access to listen to the community feedback, we added loads of content. More than 60 intense trials have been added to the game, which ranges from beginners content to the Very Hard difficulty mode for the most hardcore players of our community. We also debuted fresh abilities and a new weapon to offer alternative ways to play. Burst your way through demons with the stomp, give foes your best headshot to foes with the carabin, and fling yourself around the stages as you unlock new maneuvers with the grappling hook.

To increase the competition between players, we added the live multiplayer mode to race against your friends and finally find out which of you is the FPS master. Since we started early access, we have dedicated a lot of time and love to our community of builders on PC in order to bring them the tools they needed to create the best levels for fellow players. On top of all that, with the 1.0 we will bring you even more content with tons of unfamiliar levels, and brand new gamemode.



Easy to learn but hard to master, Warstride Challenges is made for anyone who wants to race and shoot demons at lightning speed whether they have never touched a computer or are seasoned tactical shooting veterans. With an average of 92% of positive reviews from our players on Steam, we believe that speedrunners and shooter fans can find the challenging die & retry loop they deserve. Compete with your friends and the community to get the highest score and race the ghosts of anyone online – even your favorite streamers!

Warstride Challenges 1.0 officially launches on September 7 with boat loads of new content on Steam. Experience high-speed shooting right now with Early Access.
