Tactics, teamwork and twitch reflexes are vital, with top-down shooter controls and a myriad of epic abilities to fire off.

Super Squad combines the frenetic, twitch-based style of play from MOBAs and shmups with the strategic decision making you expect from your favourite RTS, to create a game that demands nimble fingers and a sharp mind.

Take command of Troopers with unique abilities and use them together to destroy the enemy Squad. Support your squad with our beefy boy Skull Crusher, heal up and buff your team as they fight as the adorable Florp, or go all out damage and max out your kills with the indominable Sarge; however you want to play, there’s a role for you!

Race across the Military Base, collecting launch keys to fire missiles at the enemy base. Warp straight into the invasion of New Mars, assaulting the enemy mothership to bring it down. We’re bringing more modes, more maps, and more troopers into this crazy mix all of the time.

Each Trooper has two unique special abilities, as well as their own weapon and role on a team. Play as Tharlin to burrow underneath your enemies, then blow them sky high with his landmines, or take on the role of Crow, grappling in and out of the fray and pinning down enemies from long range. Each Trooper has their own look, feel and gameplay style for you to master!

Super Squad is inviting all gamers to a weekend long playtest starting Friday the 14th of May at 18:00 UTC until 16th of May, 23:59 UTC.

The test will provide crucial data for the team ahead of their launch later in the year on Steam and the Epic Store.

During the test players can experience the frantic 5 vs. 5 team battles of Super Squad’s unique Multiplayer Online Shoot-‘Em-Up (MOSH) gameplay, take part in a challenge and even play against the Devs themselves. A FREE Battle Pass will be up for grabs that unlocks an exclusive skin for the trooper “Sarge”. Further details of the beta test weekend activities, prizes and how to build your squad will be posted on Discord before the event.

To take part in the beta test players just need to join the Discord channel to receive a key and then download the game via Steam.

Disclaimer: This is not a finished product. Super Squad is still in closed beta and so is not yet a complete product. Whilst the game can be played and enjoyed now, we recommend that players who are expecting a finished product return to the game when we launch later in the year.

Super Squad is in development for PC (Epic Games Store and Steam).
