Two spinning tops enter an arena, but only one can win the battle. Gyra – Top Fighting is a 3D fighting game inspired by Beyblade, where players assemble customized spinning tops and control them during combat. Unlike games where battles happen automatically, you can move your top, activate defensive abilities, and launch special attacks. There is no traditional storyline or campaign involving characters. The main objective is to defeat opponents by exhausting their stamina or knocking them outside the arena.
Building Your Own Fighting Top
Before entering a battle, you assemble your Gyra using four components: a tip, body, blade, and spirit. Each part influences how the top behaves, allowing you to experiment with different combinations. Some configurations are better suited for aggressive attacks, while others emphasize stability and defense. The spirit is particularly important because it determines your special move. Selecting compatible components can make your top more effective against particular opponents.
Fighting Inside the Arena
During matches, you directly control your spinning top’s movement and positioning. You can approach opponents, avoid incoming attacks, and use different abilities to gain an advantage. Winning requires understanding when to attack and when to protect your position.
The main gameplay mechanics include:
- Moving your top around the battle arena.
- Using dash to dodge or deliver stronger collisions.
- Activating a shield to defend against attacks.
- Reducing an opponent’s stamina through combat.
- Knocking rival tops outside the arena.
- Charging and activating spirit-based special abilities.
- Experimenting with different component combinations.
Tournament Mode and Other Challenges
Gyra – Top Fighting includes Tournament Mode, which uses roguelike progression. You begin with basic components and face opponents in consecutive rounds. Winning battles rewards you with caps, a currency that can be spent on additional parts and upgrades in the shop between matches. If you lose, you return to the beginning of the tournament.
Freeplay Mode provides another way to experiment with the combat system. You can access the available components, customize your top, and select opponents without following tournament progression. The game also supports local multiplayer for two players competing on the same device. There are no conventional story levels, but tournament rounds become increasingly challenging as you advance. Success depends on constructing an effective Gyra, controlling its movement, and adapting your strategy to different opponents.
