Killsquad (v1.6.3.28 & ALL DLC)

Corporate greed and cosmic catastrophe turn the galaxy into a hunting ground where mercenaries raid unstable worlds for profit. Killsquad is a top-down action RPG built around frantic bounty contracts, oversized enemy swarms, and vicious boss encounters that demand more than mindless damage output. Its sci-fi setting feels grimy, colorful, and knowingly over-the-top, with mercenary banter and explosive weaponry keeping the mood closer to a violent arcade run than a slow, solemn space opera.

Missions send you onto hostile planets to clear objectives, chase targets, collect resources, and extract before the opposition overwhelms your squad. Combat combines Diablo-style loot chasing and character builds with the immediacy of a twin-stick shooter: movement, aiming, dodging, cooldown management, and positioning all matter constantly. Each hunter fills a distinct combat role, ranging from close-range bruisers and ranged damage dealers to technical support specialists, while skill trees and mid-mission upgrades let you tune powers around your preferred approach. Runs work alone, but four-player online co-op is the main attraction, as coordinated abilities, revives, and complementary builds make difficult contracts far more manageable.

Short mission structure gives Killsquad an appealing pick-up-and-play rhythm, especially for players who want action RPG progression without committing to a massive campaign every session. The pace is noticeably faster and more demanding than many loot-driven RPGs, with elite enemies and bosses forcing players to read attack patterns rather than simply outgear them. Its strongest feature is the blend of build experimentation and immediate mechanical combat, making every new weapon, perk, and hero setup feel useful in the field. Fans of Diablo, Helldivers, or Warhammer: Vermintide who want a sci-fi alternative with quick co-op sessions should find plenty to enjoy, while solo players need to be comfortable with a steeper challenge curve.
