About Battlecade

Welcome to Battlecade, A fast-paced action-packed shooter which enables you to express your unique playstyle through loadout customization.



https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/2616230/extras/gameplay.png
Battlecade enables you to customize a loadout unique to your playstyle. Whether you prefer to fight up close, keep your distance, use powerful slow projectiles, or space your enemies with area-of-denial weapons, every fighter can find a weapon that suits their needs.

Battlecade also offers a simple to understand movement kit, with Bunny-hopping and Air-strafing being universal tools. Weapons can enhance mobility further, such as Explosive weapons allowing you to rocket jump, or high-recoil weapons that allow you to close or increase the distance between you and the enemy.

Player expression is an important aspect of Battlecade.
You can customize your player with unique accessories and parts to enhance your swagger, and strike fear into your opponents. These can be purchased using Battlepoints- an in-game currency earned through playing the official gamemodes. These accessories and Battlepoints can also be traded with other players!
In addition to customizing your player, you can also customize your profile to further stamp your identity into the competition.

One-VS-One
The staple Battlecade gamemode is One-VS-One, where you and an enemy fight on a map map decided by both players, and put your skills and loadout to the test. Earn ranking and climb to the top of the leaderboards!

Two-VS-Two
Similar to One-VS-One, however ranking is decided by the total team rank. Bring a friend or queue with a random player to fight and win with your combined skill, and utilize your teams weapon composition to bring your opponents to their knees!
First to win 3 matches on 3 maps wins. Loser of the previous map picks the next map.

Free-For-All
It's you, and a large arena full of other players. Everyone is an enemy here- you have no allies. Weapons and health packs are scattered around the map to be picked up. Kill everyone! First to 30 kills wins!

King Of The Hill
Capture a point in the center of the map with your team of 4- and maintain control for a total of 3 minutes to win the round. First team to 3 wins wins the game!

Attackers VS Defenders
4 Defenders must defend a base from being taken by 4 Attackers for a period of time. After which, the teams are swapped. Win conditions are based on the time it takes for the attackers to capture the base, or by which team has made the most progress while on the attacking side.
Rewards teamwork!

Games like Undertale that remember what you did

Undertale's own listing calls it the RPG where you don't have to destroy anyone. Games like Undertale that keep that idea: permanent choices, fights you can talk past, worlds that notice.

Games like Slay the Spire that keep the branching climb

Most games like Slay the Spire copy the cards and lose the map. These keep the risky-or-safe choice, from a three-floor train to a deck made of poker hands.

Games like Dying Light, where nightfall changes the rules

Games like Dying Light are easy to find if you only want parkour or only want zombies. These eight keep the part that matters: a city that becomes a different place after dark.

Games like Portal 2, where one idea carries the whole game

Games like Portal 2 all share one habit: teach a single impossible trick, then spend a campaign breaking it. From rewinding objects through time to Escher geometry that loops back on itself.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
