About the Game



In Short: Hoverloop is a Multiplayer Arcade Arena Combat game. The game is currently in Early Access containing community hosted servers that you can host yourself and offline splitscreen. Online matchmaking and season pass progression will become available upon release, this fall 2019.

Access an array of customizable drones with unique abilities. Use teleportation, deathrays, control jammers and super speed to carry your team, or yourself, to victory!

Fight against or work together with friends in splitscreen/online multiplayer (online matchmaking only at full release fall 2019). Alternatively, you can play together with AI-Bots.
We'll launch with a focus on Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch and Invasion, releasing multiple exciting new modes later on.

Story:

Following the technological advances of the early 21st century, arena combat began surpassing
all other forms of entertainment, giving rise to the biggest industry on earth.

In the year 2077, one league has taken centre-stage, and become our modern-day
colosseum. Drone gladiators from around the world battle for glory in the Hoverloop
arena, risking everything in the process. The crowds chant their names, revel in their
victories, and delight in their failure. While the champions are rewarded with fame and
fortune, losers are shunned and humiliated, becoming outcasts of our volatile society.

Build your following, customize your drone. Battle your rivals for glory in the Hoverloop Arena.

Key features:

  • Customization: Pick your favorite customizable drone from a vast variety of materials, colors, hats, trails and emotes, paired with unique abilities like teleportation or death ray.
  • Combat: Obliterate your opponents with the large weapons arsenal at your disposal. Blow them up, stun them and punch holes in them with the machinegun.
  • Multiplayer: Play with up to four friends locally or eight players online.
  • Arenas: Fight on a variety of maps across a wide array of game modes including deathmatches and cooperative PvE modes against waves of AI.
