Combat Theory (Prototype)

Prototype Version of Combat Theory is now discontinued and will no longer receive any updates, however an Alpha version is currently on the works on a different engine and will be uploaded once it is in a playable state. Sorry for not having been active for a long time and thank you for all the people who have downloaded and supported this project.

Welcome to Combat Theory, a fast paced, multiplayer, third-person, action shooter game at it's early stages of development.

Eliminate enemy players with a variety of weapons, from shotguns, pistols and rifles, or if you prefer to be up close and personal, an arsenal of knives and swords.

Choose your meta, jump on walls, deflect incoming fire, do anything to survive and stack up that killing streak. Prove your Combat Theory.

Locally host your game and team-up or fight with your friends.
