Small Arms is a 2006 arcade action game developed by Gastronaut Studios for Xbox 360 that blends shooting, platforming, and brawling into fast-paced arena combat. Players select from a roster of humanoid characters and fight against one another across a variety of arena stages, combining gunplay with melee combat in a style that draws from classic beat 'em up and shoot 'em up traditions. The game emphasizes quick, chaotic skirmishes in enclosed environments, with each character bringing distinct combat capabilities to the encounter. Its genre-mixing approach places it at the intersection of the fighting game and arcade shooter, making arena positioning and weapon use equally important to success. Released during the early period of Xbox 360 Live Arcade, Small Arms was designed around competitive multiplayer engagement within the console's online ecosystem.
