A Gentlemen’s Dispute dresses a frantic last-player-standing contest in the language of polite society. Players fight amid collapsing arenas and environmental hazards, with sharks and speeding trains among the threats. The contrast between gentlemanly presentation and unruly combat gives the game its distinctive comic premise.
Its arsenal ranges from bats and traps to bazookas, flamethrowers, cannons, and bombs. Between rounds, players choose perks that can sharpen their abilities for the next bout, adding a tactical decision to the explosive arena action. The setting is not merely a backdrop: crumbling stages and hazards make survival part of the contest alongside attacking rivals.
The game supports up to eight players, with the stated objective of leaving one gentleman standing.
