What is FIRESTARTERS?

FIRESTARTERS is a single-player cyberpunk arena FPS from Studio Kerosene. Players control Kera, combining rocket-skate movement with shooting and melee pressure against android enemies in the STEEL arenas. The Early Access release arrived on Steam on October 28, 2026.

The game is built around momentum rather than cover shooting. Skating, sliding, grinding, and aerial attacks keep the player moving while a six-weapon loadout handles different enemy groups. Episode One is the first of four planned story episodes, and Arcade Mode extends completed encounters with score chasing.
