Factions Examples -

THE IRON VIPERS

The Iron Vipers are a ruthless, highly organized paramilitary group that operates like a well-oiled war machine. Composed of ex-special forces, rogue operatives, and mercenaries loyal to the highest bidder, they prioritize precision, strategy, and superior firepower. Their code is simple: win at all costs. They work under powerful corporate and military contracts, executing high-risk missions with brutal efficiency.

THE BLACK REVENANTS

The Black Revenants are an elusive and deadly insurgent force, thriving in chaos and guerrilla warfare. Made up of defectors, rebel fighters, and underground assassins, they specialize in hit-and-run tactics, sabotage, and psychological warfare. They fight not for money, but for power and vengeance, striking fear into those who stand in their way.

The characters will be fully customizable with modular armor, clothing and accessory pieces in future updates.
Early Stage Limitations & Ongoing Development
Work in Progress UI – Current interface elements are placeholders and will be improved over time. Below it's a wireframe representation of the future in-game home screen (not final)

Limited Map Selection – Dev map for testing, with more to come

Bugs & Stability Issues – As an early build, expect occasional crashes, desyncs, and performance inconsistencies.

Clan System - A dedicated clan system is in development and will be introduced in a later stage. Below it's a wireframe representation of a future clan dashboard (not final)

Premium Shop - Our shop will only be available at full launch and players will decide what's in it. We're not trying to "milk" our player base.

We want to extend our deepest gratitude for participating in our early stages of development. Your time, feedback and support mean the WORLD to us. Really, thank you so much!

About the team: We're a small indie dev team (100% gamers), aiming to develop a fun and competitive FPS game without useless and overwhelming mechanics like sliding while shooting and "abilities". We believe that a much simpler gameplay is the way to success, as games need to feel fun, enjoyable and not feel like another job unless you aim for that. We are currently developing the game in Unreal Engine 5, using both custom and paid customized frameworks to achieve our goals.
