What is Ballistic Overkill?

Ballistic Overkill is an online-only first-person shooter developed and published by Brazilian indie studio Aquiris Game Studio. Originally released on Steam Early Access in 2016, it draws inspiration from character-based shooters like Team Fortress 2 and Overwatch.

In Ballistic Overkill, players select from a diverse roster of character classes, each equipped with their own unique weapons, abilities, strengths and weaknesses. Classes range from assault rifles specialists like the Volt, to shotgun wielders like Blast, to healers like Patch, and more. Players battle in 5v5 team matches across a variety of objective-based game modes like Capture the Flag, King of the Hill, and Deathmatch.

The game features vibrant, stylized cel-shaded 3D graphics with colorful characters and maps. Gameplay is fast-paced, chaotic fun - with an emphasis on mobility, verticality, and tracking opponents. Players can customize their class loadouts using a progression system to unlock new primary/secondary weapons, perks, gadgets, and cosmetic skins.

There is also an offline, AI bot mode available to practice before jumping into ranked online multiplayer matches. Additional content and optimizations were added during the game's 1+ year run in Early Access before reaching its full release state. Reviews praise Ballistic Overkill as a cheaper alternative take on Hero Shooters like Overwatch, albeit with a lower player count.
