What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“I've worked as a solo dev on this game for over 15 years (originally called Subvein, then Geneshift). The game is fully playable and has been polished for years, but I love it and want to keep making it bigger and better - and Early Access is the place to do this.

Ever since the first demo released in 2009, I've found the best way to improve the game is to just listen to the people who actually play it. I read every comment in the discord and will often experiment with the fun ideas people propose. If the majority of players like the changes, we keep them! If not, they get rolled back. This dev strategy is pretty OP and almost guarantees a fun game is made eventually!

This does involve a lot of change however, which some players understandably don't like. So the Early Access change helps communicate this. Having said that, as this is a PvP shooter it's a great way to keep the meta fresh, so feel free to join the fun now and provide your ideas!”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Aiming to release v1.0 in late 2025 or early 2026.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The core difference is that once the game hits version 1.0, I will focus less on refining systems and mechanics, and focus more on releasing content within those systems. New content is always fun, but changing systems can sometimes screw up the game for a few days (until I patch it). So I don't want to make many fundamental changes after v1.0 is released.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Fully playable and polished.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“It will remain F2P.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Hop onto the discord, give me some feedback, and if what you said is well written and makes sense, there's a high chance that the game will be patched that afternoon with your ideas!”

About This Game

Skillshot City is a free to play battle royale with roguelite superpowers. Level up in a chaotic city, draft random skills, and create godlike synergies. If you die mid-match, keep looting to revive before the final showdown. Play solos, 3-man squads, or survive vs waves of bots!

DRAFT GODLIKE SKILL SYNERGIES

Fight for skill points to level up fast. Each level up gives you a choice of 2 randomly generated skills. Do you take Invisibility or Bouncing Bullets? Teleportation or Regeneration?

Like a roguelite this makes every match play different. You need to think on your feet to combo skills together and create the most broken build possible before the final showdown!

UNLOCK SKILLS & NEW CLASSES

Unlock new abilities between matches. There are over 100 unique skills, classes, and round modifers to unlock. Once unlocked you can equip skills to your build to make them appear more often in-game. Join the community to theorycraft thousands of possible skill combos!

FARM COPS, GANGS & MISSIONS

Inspired by MOBAs, the faster you farm the stronger you become. You can do missions, win supply drops, fight gangs, explore for rare loot, and if you're feeling risky - aggro the cops.

But remember, the circle is shrinking and death will set you back a lot. You have to balance risk with reward to level up as much as possible while still surviving to the final showdown.

3 ULTRA FAST ROUNDS

While other BRs have one long round, Skillshot City has 3 ultra-fast rounds - with a high-stakes showdown every 5 minutes. The winners of rounds 1 and 2 get to choose unique modifiers that affect the rest of the match, and the winner of round 3 wins the game!

ZOMBIE REVIVALS

Your skill build progresses from round to round, and if you die you can keep playing too. You'll play as a zombie and can loot for the next round - or hunt down a survivor to revive. No queueing time, no getting booted to the main menu, just pure refined non-stop action.

Choose from 8 classes, each with a unique playstyle and strategy
Design skill builds that adjust the pool of skills you'll choose from in-game
