The year is 2042 and the state of the planet has been in decline: bankrupt governments and ruthless dictators are plentiful, while selfish corporations rule the world. Injustice against the powerless population is rampant. But there is hope. Armed gangs organized by a shadowy organization are intent on battling the oppressive evil. SquadBlast is a multiplayer side-scrolling shooter. Its team-based battles are an innovative take on a shooter that you have to experience — meticulously balanced for fairness and incredibly easy to pick up and play. In SquadBlast, every bullet matters. You'll need to adapt diverse lines of attack to claim victory in a variety of modes. DEEP CLASS-BASED COMBAT Choose from a roster of heroes, each with their own abilities, to turn the tide of battle in your team’s favor. You’re sure to find a favorite, but you’ll have to master them all – and even swap heroes mid-battle – to shut down your opponents’ dreams of victory! AN FPS IN DISGUISE Bring all your skills from your favorite FPS. Swap to your secondary after unloading with your main. Equip your melee weapon to run unburdened. Rocketjump for a greater vertical leap. Slide down ramps, bunny hop, vault over projectiles and more. MEATY MULTIPLAYER Jump into battle to master each essential multiplayer mode, from TDM to Capture the Point to Payload. Better yet, pick a custom match to choose the map, mode, and rules that suit you best. Always expect a smooth experience since all the action is synced with perfect rollback netcode. Lead your squad to striking locations across the troubled world of 2042. GUNS GALORE One thing's for sure – there are tons of guns in SquadBlast, from assault rifles to rocket launchers to experimental supa weapons. Get your hands on each one and get a feel for the play style that maximizes its effectiveness. SUPER COMFY CONTROLS Pick up and play! All the controls are right where you'd expect them to be whether you're playing with a controller or mouse and keyboard. “Intoxicating for shooter fans.” – Dexerto “SquadBlast just feels good to play” – Push Square “The gunplay is tight and the movement is quick and easy to grasp.” – The Gamer “It really is quite brilliant.” – VG247 Works with: iPhone XS, 11, 11Pro, 12, 12Pro, 13, 13Pro, 14, 14Pro, 15, 15Pro; iPad Mini 6; iPad 10, iPad Air 4; iPadPro SquadBlast does not support: iPhone 5S, 6, 6 Plus, SE, 6S, 6S Plus, 7, 7 Plus, 8, 8Plus, X; XR; iPad Air, 2, 3, Mini 2, 3, 4, 5; iPod Touch
