A free top-down battle royale with MOBA-style characters, where squads of three craft gear and fight to be the last team on a shrinking island.
Who can play
- No split-screen on any platform.
- Online for up to 24 players on PC.

How it plays
A squad of three plans a route, crafts weapons and armour from what it finds and fights other teams as the safe areas close.
Cobalt Protocol offers quicker four-against-four fights, and a bigger group can set up a custom game to play against each other.
The crafting routes and the large cast take time to learn, so new players lean on experienced friends.
The game is free and only on PC.
