About

Battleground IO

Features
Read full description

A refreshingly unique game where io style gameplay is played in a battle royale format. Everyone fights for themselves, last man standing wins! Run, dodge, take cover and shoot to create a murderous mayhem. Remember to be inside the safezone as it shrinks with time, and anyone left outside will slowly lose health and die. Wait for other players to kill each other or rush to shoot out everyone, play in a style you like. Be it stealth or hardcore action, satisfy your shooting cravings. Easy to play, but really hard to master!
