About the Game

THE SYSTEM IS INFECTED. WE NEED YOU.

Dive inside the hardware. Anti-Virus Sqaud is a chaotic, co-op third person shooter that is set inside a computer which is plagued by 90s and 2000s era viruses. You and your team are sent in to clean up the mess. The computers files are at risk and M.O.M the heart of the computer is corrupted and is losing control!

IT'S UP TO YOU TO PUSH BACK THE VIRUSES, DEFEND THE BASE, AND RESTORE THE COMPUTER BACK TO 100% INTEGRITY!

SHOOT. VACUUM. UPGRADE.

Weapons aren't enough to save this PC! In AVS you master a dual-threat arsenal. Turn viruses into corrupted bits, switch to Vacuum mode and suck up all their yummy data.

You then must make a choice on how you decide to spend your data.

  • Deposit It - Restore M.O.M 

  • Spend it - Be Selfish and buy personal upgrades for a faster and OP run

WILL YOU RUSH THE OBJECTIVE? OR BECOME AN UNKILLABLE SUPER UNIT?

CHAOTIC CO-OP ACTION

Teamwork makes the dreamwork babyyyy... until it doesn't... Play with up to 4 players in online co-op. Coordinate your defenses, revive the fallen, and try your damn best to cover different angles of the base.

BUT WATCH YOUR AIM! your vacuum is really powerful... you might just suck up your friends by accident... Maybe you use it to save them from danger, or to just mess up their flow with every step of the way to success. 

The floor is yours.

SURVIVE THE NOSTALGIA

You must battle the waves of these virus nightmares. From the humanlike ILoveYou virus to the annoying Popup Bugs that block your vision. Every virus that comes your way is a throwback into the early days of the internet.

The world of Anti-Virus Squad is drenched in a heavy Frutiger Aero Y2K aesthetic, think glossy textures and vibrant colors.
