Like all of the cool kids, it’s set in the near future” and sees players competing in a Running Man style reality TV show that places as much emphasis on style as it does on killing.
As you’d expect in any online title, customisation plays a big part, with players free to stress test the levels of absurdity that they can apply to their avatars.
Up to 20 players are supported across six arenas with two game modes available at launch – Team Death Match and Domination. The free download will be supported by microtransactions.

The game promises a high energy persistent combat experience that few FPS games have obtained, while also lowering the barriers of entry for more casual players looking for a unique gaming experience.”
