Our take on DESPOILER
The resource system makes scrap serve two opposing purposes: it protects the vehicle while slowing it down, and it funds upgrades while making respawns costly. That trade-off adds tactical weight, but it also means momentum can be difficult to regain after repeated losses.
What is DESPOILER?
DESPOILER is an online team arena racer built around 5v5 matches.
Teams search the environment for scrap, break apart old silos, and carry the collected material on their hovercraft. The team holding the most scrap when the match ends wins. Scrap also absorbs damage as armor, but its weight reduces vehicle speed, creating a choice between durability and mobility. Delivering scrap to base unlocks utilities and vehicles for the upgrade garage. Respawning consumes team scrap, while attacking enemy reserves can reduce a deficit. The game uses physically simulated hovercraft and offers optional AI opponents. Its strategic escalation structure makes early performance affect later opportunities, while reversals remain possible during a match.
