About the Game
The year is 2042 and the state of the planet has been in decline: bankrupt governments and ruthless dictators are plentiful, while selfish corporations rule the world. Injustice against the powerless population is rampant. But there is hope. Armed gangs organized by a shadowy organization are intent on battling the oppressive evil.
SquadBlast is a multiplayer side-scrolling tactical shooter. Its team-based battles are an innovative take on a shooter that you have to experience — meticulously balanced for fairness and incredibly easy to pick up and play. In SquadBlast, every bullet matters. You’ll need to adapt diverse lines of attack to claim victory in a variety of modes.
DEEP CLASS-BASED COMBAT
Choose from a roster of heroes, each with their own abilities, to turn the tide of battle in your team’s favor. You’re sure to find a favorite, but you’ll have to master them all – and even swap heroes mid-battle – to shut down your opponents’ dreams of victory!
AN FPS IN DISGUISE
Bring all your skills from your favorite FPS. Swap to your secondary after unloading with your main. Equip your melee weapon to run unburdened. Rocketjump for a greater vertical leap. Slide down ramps, bunny hop, vault over projectiles and more.
MEATY MULTIPLAYER
Jump into battle to master each essential multiplayer mode, from TDM to Capture the Point to Payload. Better yet, pick a custom match to choose the map, mode, and rules that suit you best. Lead your squad to striking locations across the troubled world of 2042.
GUNS GALORE
One thing’s for sure – there are tons of guns in SquadBlast, from assault rifles to rocket launchers to experimental supa weapons. Get your hands on each one and get a feel for the play style that maximizes its effectiveness.
SUPER COMFY CONTROLS
Pick up and play! All the controls are right where you’d expect them to be whether you’re playing with a controller or mouse and keyboard.

I haven't felt this kind of adrenaline in a long time. I sat like a madman without stopping)))

It's cool, my biggest problem is that the voices are AI, or at least sound like AI. Features are cool. Does a good job at turning FPS into 2D. Also not enough player base.

A dynamic and colorful game. In this game time flies by very quickly. A lot of different weapons and tactical options for their use, nice animation. Awesome game and you can play it with friends.

Game is quick and fun, it definitely has a good idea, but it needs some changes. The fighters abilities I have in mind. One are overpowered (for example: ARX's 'exo-suit' wipes out an entire enemy team every 30s. You can reduce the demage or increase the cooldown a bit.) and the others are a lot weaker (for example: LAIKA's 'counterpart' is very easy to detect and destroy. You can give the clone hp or make it shoot when the player is shooting aswell). The second is the voices in-game, they sound AI or made with it, espeacialy ARX's voice. Decpite some flaws the game is fun and easy to learn.

I truly love it just wish they have a better AI system when the playyer quits and something to reward ppl for staying in losing games they was dripped in.......cmon put some advertising behind this

Its fun ... had to figure out, from when i wasnt fighting bots anymore.
It's a bit of a mess.
I don't like the view being so close, for such a fast paced game.
WHERE are the promised 5V5? (so far only 3v3 ... and there are sooo many better 3v3 ... especially AWESOMENAUTS!)
Give it a try- I like, that I can change to any character after dying :)
