Wall-Jump Through London
Revive Fallen Teammates
Work together or die alone! Fight to restore peace to London or tear it down for profit in the most challenging team based shooter around.
Developed by Splash Damage · Published by Warchest Ltd.









After dirty-bomb attacks devastate London, the Central Disaster Authority tries to restore the city while the Jackal syndicate targets its technology. You play as a mercenary hired by one of the competing sides.
Matches focus on teams completing objectives across city maps. Objective mode has teams advance through tasks toward a finale before time runs out; Stopwatch mode repeats that format with teams switching sides to compare completion times.
More than 20 mercenaries offer different abilities, attributes, and playstyles, giving teams varied roles to coordinate. Fast movement, including wall jumps and other parkour-style maneuvers, supports navigating the maps and engaging opponents.
Reviewers often praise the responsive gunplay, quick movement, varied mercenary abilities, and emphasis on completing objectives together. Many also describe the game fondly as a memorable team shooter. A recurring caveat is that the small active player base and lack of ongoing updates can make matches difficult to find, while some reviewers report steep matchups for newcomers and frustrations with loadout-card progression.
