Gameplay

Skillshot City is a PvP roguelite top-down shooter. It combines elements of battle royale and roguelike design. A match consists of 3 back-to-back battle royale rounds, where the winner of the final round wins the game. Winning earlier rounds gives players bonus experience, score, and a stronger vote for the next round modifier.

The core loop consists of killing other players, taking out cops, and completing missions to level up. This lets players draft special abilities during a match, with the hopes of creating a strong synergistic build before the final round's showdown.

Development

On November 28, 2022, the game went free to play. The name then changed to Skillshot City on July 9, 2025, as reported by PCGamesN.
