Brawlers!

It's time for another Overruled! update - and this one is packing some sweet new punches.

Invasion Mode

Invasion is the first gametype we’ve released since early access. It’s the perfect balance of attack and defend. If you want to go all out attack, you can. Happy to sit back and claim a little corner of the map as yours? That’s fine too. So… What is invasion?

When invasion ticks around, three neutral bases spawn on the map. If you run and stand in a base, it’ll slowly turn your colour, and you’ll have claimed it after a few seconds. Once it’s yours – and you’ll know when it is – it’ll earn you points every second!

You can claim as many bases as you want – as long as other players let you. If you hold two bases, you’ll get 2 times the current points value. All three bases and you’ll be surging to the lead in no time.

But what makes it so difficult? Well, if any other player happens to stand in your base, it’ll get turned back to neutral… and then they can claim it for themselves. So it’s up to you – grab hold of one base and defend it from every one else? Or go all out offensive and claim as many as you can? Or maybe you’re in the lead already, and you just want to run around annoying everyone else by stopping them from getting bases. It’s up to you.

Pre-Game Options

Tweakables!

Before a game starts, you’ve now got a whole bunch of options as what the game is that you’re going to be playing. These options include things like what game types are included, how long a game type is, what cards you’ll get, how much health you’ve got… and it makes each game feel completely different. The host can set this before you start playing.

We're not going to go into too much detail here, but you should tell us about the crazy game types you've set up in the comments below! You can find our faves here.
