PopTag! is a 2-D arcade-style multiplayer game where players navigate a variety of multi-colored maps and battle each other, or NPCs (non-playable characters), with water-based weapons, such as water balloons, in a variety of game modes. PopTag! offers fast-paced game play in player-versus-player modes, or cooperative modes where gamers can join together to take on unique and deadly boss monsters and their minions.  A “co-play” function is also available to users, allowing two players to play using a single keyboard.

Nexon America's new game, PopTag!, will enter Beta on January 26.  All users with Nexon IDs are eligible to participate in the beta period and will receive a complimentary Welcome Package filled with functional in-game items. PopTag! Beta will feature two modes, PvP and Monster Mode. See who’s the most deadly among friends with water balloons  or team up against boss monsters. Players will have a variety of scenery with 34 different maps offered during Beta.  Additionally, all stats and items obtained during the beta and its events will carry over into the game’s official launch.

Players defeat their opponents in PopTag! by strategically setting water balloons anywhere on the game’s maps, blasting  and trapping them in a bubble.  A player may escape the bubble by using special items or get help from a teammate. If the trapped player does not escape after a certain amount of time, they are out of the game. Players earn experience points for each victory and level up based on the amount of experience points they accumulate.

PopTag! is located in the world of Boom Hill and contains a variety of maps, including frosty wonderlands, sandy deserts and dense forests. Players can select from an array of unique characters, each of whom has special skills, appearances and personalities. 

In addition to being free-to-play, the game is supported with thousands of purchasable items and character customization pieces, as well as an in-game messenger and other systems that help foster community interaction.  It also includes a “sweetie” system that allows players to get married in-game. Nexon plans to release regular content updates that will introduce new maps, gameplay modes, items and quests to help keep the watery adventures flowing for the players.
