"Marble Madness meets Unreal Tournament"

Brutal Grounds is a fast-paced competitive shooter inspired by games like Unreal Tournament combined with a modern eSports focused design of games like Rocket League. Players equip their Brute (a war ball) with various weapons and abilities and take to the arena to battle it out in classic game modes like Capture the Flag, Control, Deathmatch, and more. Battles take place from a top-down perspective on thoughtfully designed maps requiring a high level of situational awareness - creating a play-style that relies not only on mechanical skill, but also map strategy, area control, passing, and team-play. With no characters or back-stories, Brutal Grounds totally removes the “Hero” component in order to focus on a unifying balanced movement and fighting system that makes the gameplay much more like an actual sport. Players use and abuse momentum, take advantage of weapon recoil, abilities, and other unique movement strategies that allow for exciting and visually engaging fights to unfold.

Select from a growing collection of weapons and abilities, with 200 unique load-out combinations to help you deal damage, assist, or survive -- how you decide to play is totally up to you.

 

Online Multiplayer & FFA Game Modes

Brutal Grounds centers around teams of 4 players for team games, and 8 players for solo games. New players will find the low skill floor refreshing while seasoned players will enjoy an extremely high skill ceiling for those who want to play competitively and hone their craft.

Built with today's eSports and streaming game community in mind, the game includes full spectator and caster view controls.

Dash, Dodge, & Fight!

The natural movement is core to the fight mechanics – players use and abuse momentum, take advantage of weapon recoil, abilities, and other unique movement strategies, allowing for exciting and visually engaging fights to unfold.

 

Discover and master your loadout! 

Configure your load out from a growing list of Primary Weapons, Secondaries, and Abilities. 

Each weapon and ability has unique pros and cons when used in specific combinations and on each map. Finding balance is key to keeping all elements viable. For example, the shotgun is the only 1-hit-kill weapon in the game but its short range can leave players vulnerable in open areas. Add the dash ability to a shotgun loadout, and now you can quickly close distance on your enemies for blindingly fast kills.  You are not locked to a loadout - Pick up dropped weapons during the game or change-up your entire loadout while waiting to respawn 200 unique loadout combinations to help you deal damage, assist, or survive.
