GALACTIC OVERKILL is a fast, neon free-for-all space arena shooter. Drop into a live match in seconds — no account, no downloads to manage, no waiting, full controller support. PVP FREE-FOR-ALL Fly fast and claim the arena. Stack power-ups for fire rate, speed, and shields, level up mid-match to pick new weapons and upgrades, crack open loot drops, and hunt the BOUNTY — the top killer everyone wants dead. First to the kill target wins. PVE CO-OP WAVES Team up and survive escalating enemy waves on shared squad lives. Earn credits between fights, spend them at repair bays, perk stations, and the mystery box, and see how deep your squad can go. GALACTIC CONQUEST Teams fight for territory on a live sector grid. Capture, hold and push the front line — the fleet that owns the map wins, not the pilot with the most kills. PLAY WITH FRIENDS Create a private room and share an invite link — friends jump straight into your match, PvP or co-op.
