Per chance does anyone remember the ShellShock Live flash games from a few years back? Flash developer at the time, Kyle Champ, has reinvented and polished ShellShock Live into a full-fledge Steam game and things appear to be going very smoothly.

What is ShellShock Live?

Kyle Champ started creating flash games in his teens which includes the ShellShock Live series. In 2011, he officialized his studio and expanded his development since. On May 11th of this year, kChamp Games released the new and improved ShellShock Live on Steam Early Access for $6.99 for Windows, Mac, and Linux and has been updating it weekly. Now, ShellShock Live is at version 0.9.1.7 with major additions.

ShellShock Live is an online strategic multiplayer artillery game where players in a team of eight band together using tanks to destroy the opposing team in a completely destructible terrain. The game is centered around players working together with their tanks and grinding to level up (over 100 levels) and add onto their tanks (or unluck new ones) with various upgradable weapons (over 200 available), obtain more maps, music, etc. Players can engage in these online battles in now four different game modes. Rank up together and customize your tank’s build to blast away your enemies.

New Game Modes and Updates

In the recent release there was a lot added on including three more game modes:

Assassin: Players are given a target they must kill. Any attempted damage at other tanks will cause none whatsoever. And Assassin kills gain 5 kill XP and 5 assassination XP.

Juggernaut:A player is selected randomly to be the Juggernaut, the one with a major boost of both HP and armor. It’s a 7 V 1 against the selected Juggernaut.

Points: Slaughter one another for the highest possible score.

Aside from those major updates, there was been tiny but notable additions as well:

Pre-game rules are now in a game-mode specific color

Full chassis upgrades will yield 40% armor rather than 50%

Game mode notification and rules will be presented at the beginning of every round
