Boom Squad

About

Boom Squad is a chaotic platform shooter that blends fast gunplay with strategic teamwork. Play as part of a 5-player squad in competitive or co-op matches where you tackle objectives, outmaneuver opponents, and upgrade weapons through a deep tech tree. Movement feels tight and responsive, with jumps and dodges adding a layer of agility to gunfights. Matches emphasize real-time coordination over brute force, rewarding players who adapt to shifting battle lines and exploit enemy weaknesses. The game’s progression system stands out, letting you customize loadouts with unlockable firearms and perks that evolve as you play. While the story revolves around training elite soldiers in high-stakes virtual simulations, the real draw is the polished multiplayer loop. Free-to-play access lowers the barrier to entry, and early 2018 console plans hint at broader appeal. Players praise the balance between skill and strategy, though the niche platform-shooter hybrid may take some getting used to.

Storyline

War is changing, and peace is hanging on a thread. The powers of the World are developing in secret the perfect weapons in case that thread snaps. The perfect weapon is and will always be the human mind. Finding and training the perfect soldiers is very hard. These men have to be put in the right situations at the right time and the perfect result is nowhere near the horizon. After years of research and development the AMRG (American Military Research Group) created virtual reality simulation chambers where highly trained recruits (mind and body), special forces ex-operatives from different countries, will try to find the perfect recipe for the most powerful soldiers. These simulations are based on war era elites covering different fields of operations. These heroes are based on history facts and war stories of special forces operatives from various countries and their bravery and goodwill is now reborn with current day technology.
