Loadout is a fast-paced multiplayer shooter with a cartoonish, comedic tone. Players take part in online battles as exaggerated characters amid over-the-top, impact-based gore.
Its central system lets players assemble weapons from parts and adjust their arsenal to suit their play style. With no fixed classes, the weapons you create shape your role in a match.
Players can also customize their characters. The game pairs these choices with quick shooter combat and exaggerated animations, effects, and damage reactions.
In this sample, players often remember Loadout fondly for the freedom to build unusual weapons, its distinctive comic-book violence and humor, and its fast, chaotic matches. Many express sadness that the game and its services went away; some also mention balance problems and repetition.
