Skillshot City is a top-down battle royale set in a busy city. Fight rival players and gangs, take on missions, open supply drops, explore for loot, and drive through the streets while the safe zone closes in. Matches unfold over three rounds, with the last survivor of the final round taking the win.
Earn experience during each round and choose one of two randomly generated skills whenever you level up. Combine active and passive abilities with your class and weapons to shape a build on the fly; winners of the first two rounds also choose modifiers that affect the rest of the match.
Elimination does not end your match: you return outside the safe zone as a zombie, where you can gather loot or pursue a chance to revive. Skills, classes, and modifiers can be unlocked between matches, and a separate single-player or co-op survival mode offers customizable difficulty.
In this helpfulness-selected sample, players often enjoy the fast, chaotic matches and the satisfaction of building unusual skill combinations, with the top-down city fights and zombie revival system adding to the appeal. Some also praise it as a quick game to play solo or with friends. Others say the many systems can be hard to understand at first, and reviews raise concerns about progression, matchmaking, bots, and repetition.

If you die, keep fighting outside the circle and try to revive before the final showdown! There are no queues and no downtime. Just non-stop action. Play solos, duos, or trios with friends and climb the ranks!
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 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!
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.
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!
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.
