help Gravity Circuit FAQ

What games inspired Gravity Circuit?

Gravity Circuit is an indie action platformer heavily inspired by classic 1990s franchises like "Mega Man X" and "Mega Man Zero." Players control a robot protagonist named Kai who utilizes a grappling hook, martial arts melee combat, and various robotic weapons stolen from defeated bosses. It closely mimics the fast-paced, side-scrolling action of the 16-bit and 32-bit eras.

Who developed and published Gravity Circuit?

The game was developed by the indie studio Domesticated Ant Games and published by PID Games. It was released in 2023 on PC via Steam, as well as on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One consoles. The development team focused heavily on faithfully recreating the retro aesthetic of the 16-bit era.

How does the combat system work in Gravity Circuit?

Unlike traditional "Mega Man" games that focus exclusively on shooting, Gravity Circuit features a hybrid combat system that emphasizes close-quarters martial arts and melee attacks. Players use a dedicated burst knuckle to punch enemies and block incoming projectiles. Additionally, players can find and equip up to 12 different "Chips" to customize Kai's moveset and special abilities.

Is Gravity Circuit multiplayer or co-op?

No, Gravity Circuit is strictly a single-player experience. The game's narrative focuses on Kai, the last remaining Gravity Circuit, fighting solo against the evil Virus army. There are no team-up mechanics, though players can compete on online leaderboards for speedrun times.
