How it plays
Five friends can queue as one team, practise together against bots, or open a password-protected custom match and split into two sides.
Matches are short, and the four roles (damage, flank, front line and support) give everyone a clear job.
Active development stopped in 2025 and the community is smaller now.
It is free on PC, PlayStation and Xbox with crossplay; the Switch version was retired in 2023.
