JackHammer is set in a futuristic world in which military tech corporations pit their state-of-the-art humanoid robots (each covered in their respective sponsors’ logos) against each other in a frantic, explosive version of dodgeball; all for the enjoyment of the baying crowd.

Features include:

• High-octane multiplayer future sports in purpose-built combat arenas
• Fully customizable robotic armors allow you to create your own unique combatant
• Blast, shunt and grapple your way through online rankings and prove your mettle
• Hone your skills and prove your mastery with trick shots, rebounds and superhuman agility
• Powered by Unreal Engine 4 – demolishing 900 pound robots never felt so good!
• ​A pumping electronic soundtrack provides the score for robot slaying arena action

This is a game which requires "lightning fast reaction times and pure skill" according to Gary Rowe, EVP Publishing at Green Man Gaming.

"JackHammer is a project driven by a love for high-octane, skill-based games,” said Tom, one of the developers at Mission Ctrl Studios. “Bringing our game to PC is a hugely exciting step, and we look forward to engaging with players and continuing to develop JackHammer into a truly unique experience."

JackHammer is entering early access on PC soon and will be available on Steam, Green Man Gaming and Humble.
