The best Jugger video game ever is finally here!
Well, it is an easy claim, as this is the only one ;)
But what is Jugger?
Jugger is a unique team sport that combines the objective-driven gameplay of rugby with the weapon duels of fencing. Two teams battle to get the Jug (the ball in the middle) and place it the opponent's goal.
Unlike most combat games, in this game there are no pre-set attack animations. Your weapon follows your mouse movement directly, giving you full control over every strike. Victory depends on your timing, precision, and teamwork—not on memorizing combo chains.
Win Duels. Work as a Team. Score Goals.
Two teams of five compete to carry the Jug across the field and score in the opponent's goal.
Each team consists of:
1 Runner, the only player allowed to carry the Jug (an elliptical yellow ball).
4 Fighters, armed with a variety of weapons whose task is to clear a path for their Runner and stop the enemy team.
When a player is struck by a weapon, they must immediately go down on their knee and are temporarily out of play. Every duel matters. Every opening can decide the match.
