Our take on Boom Slingers
The focus on brief online duels keeps matches compact, but play depends on live servers and a network connection. Seasonal resets also mean leaderboard rank and trophies do not carry over from one month to the next.
What is Boom Slingers?
Boom Slingers is an online artillery game built around 1v1 battles with physics-based shots.
Players can slow time and combine weapons with moves to create different attack sequences. The weapon collection includes more than 50 options, while over 70 characters can be customized with hats and accessories. Arena Builder lets players make arenas for matches with friends, and players can also create spaceship art. Weekend events rotate game modes and offer prizes. The Steam version includes cross-play with mobile players and cross-progress for linked mobile accounts, along with no ads and permanent Boom Pass access. Battles run on live servers and require a network connection. Leaderboard ranks and trophies reset at the start of each monthly season.
