About Pyrosynchist
Pyrosynchist is an arcade-style indie game from Orb Weaver Games, launched on October 3 2025 for PC and Mac. It blends infinite runner mechanics with chaotic combat as players pilot motorcycles through demon-infested landscapes. The goal is simple: delay Earth's destruction by leaping off ramps, tossing explosives, and triggering shockwaves. Single-player or split-screen co-op lets you team up with a friend to navigate endless terrain while fending off hordes of demons. The game’s frantic energy and destructible environments make it stand out. Think of it as a high-speed action game where survival depends on quick reflexes and timing.
Gameplay
In Pyrosynchist you control a motorcycle that automatically moves forward. Your main tools are ramps for mid-air stunts and grenades to blast demons. Each session feels like a sprint against chaos, dodging obstacles, hitting targets, and surviving waves of enemies. The split-screen co-op mode lets two players ride side by side, though shared screen space can get cramped. Controls are responsive but have a learning curve; mastering jump timing and grenade placement is key. The game cycles through increasingly intense levels, with demon hordes and collapsing terrain forcing you to stay in motion. Explosions are the highlight, setting off chain reactions in the environment adds a layer of tactical fun.
What Players Think
Pyrosynchist holds a 4.2/5 average on PlayPile with 89% of players completing the base campaign. Community moods skew 70% adrenaline, 25% frustration, and 5% curiosity. Average playtime is 8.5 hours, with 32% of players logging over 15 hours. One review says “Wildly chaotic but addictive, just don’t expect precision.” Others note “Controls feel slippery at times, but the co-op is worth it.” Completion rates drop to 67% in multiplayer, likely due to coordination challenges. Over 80% of players unlocked the game’s 45 achievements, with 12 tied specifically to co-op. The split-screen mode is praised for local play but criticized for limited online options.
PlayPile's Take
Pyrosynchist is a solid pick for fans of fast-paced arcade games and co-op chaos. At $19.99 it offers decent value for its 8.5-hour average playtime and 45 achievements. The game excels in local multiplayer but stumbles with online options and occasional control issues. It’s best suited for players who prioritize adrenaline over precision. If you enjoy infinite runners like Temple Run with a side of explosives and demon-blasting, this one’s for you. Not every challenge here is balanced, but the explosive fun and split-screen co-op keep it memorable.
