01 / WHY I BUILT IT

I LOVED
INSTAGIB.

“I loved Unreal Tournament. I loved Instagib.”

This game is a tribute to that original feeling when arena shooters were in their prime: extremely fast, slightly chaotic, but somehow everything felt right. Movement, jumps and strafes clicked instantly.

It was easy to start and brutally hard to master. SAGORAX is my attempt to capture that feeling again—not as a museum piece, but as a new game with modern light, speed and weight.

THE OLD INSTINCTREBORN, NOT REMASTERED

NO CLASSES

NO LOOT TIERS

NO WAITING

JUST AIM. MOVE. FIRE.

02 / BATTLEGROUNDS

THREE ARENAS.
THREE MOODS.

Every arena has its own rhythm: hunt across a rain-soaked garden, disappear into torch-lit corridors or fight for the high ground in a steel station.

AUTUMN

Storm-lit gardens, wet stone and long-range pressure.

DM / 02

COURSE

A torch-lit gothic fort with a flooded heart.

DM / 03

STATION

Industrial verticality, launch pads and hard steel.

03 / SOUND OF THE ARENA

BUILT TO GET
YOU MOVING.

Breakbeats, distorted synths and late-90s electronic pressure. The soundtrack is not background decoration—it pushes the countdown, sharpens the next dodge and makes “one more match” feel inevitable.

MOVEMENT COMES FIRST

Every visual system yields to the thing that matters most: immediate aim, sharp dodges and momentum you can feel.
