EDIT**Way over 14 hrs later, this game is still very highly recommended. ** This game... Is awesome. This game is Free to Play on their website. This is the paid version if you want local features and the ability to host online games. Support your devs, this game is free but gosh darn is it ever worth money. Now to the review... This is a paintball sim. A very good one with incredible attention to detail. The game play feels fun, fast paced, and frantic, all while maintaining a deep level strategy as well. Give it a shot. If you like shooters or if you like paintball, you wont be disappointed. This is the online 2D arena shooter you need. P.S. All my time is in the online web version. To reiterate: this paid version is not required to play online multiplayer.

★ 2D PAINTBALL | A REAL-TIME COMPETITIVE MULTIPLAYER PAINTBALL SIM, IN 2D! ★
★ Play the F2P Online Multiplayer Alpha on our website! ★ Read below for more info! ★
★ GAME THEORY ★
The idea is to create a highly competitive 2D simulated speedball experience, by trying to re-create the true feel, strategy, and gameplay of playing tournament speedball. We believe that getting all of the "small" details right is what can really make this game work even in a 2D environment.
So in turn, this game will be less about graphics and more about actually getting the "feels" of strategic high-caliber paintball in 2D!

User Reviews
OK my issue is sorted, if anyone else has it , turns out a restart of your PC/Java works this game is sooo much fun , and really does capture that paintball feel, love the "Bunkered" award you get when you run someone down. Website version is great , but its worth the purchase just to make the custom games, one thing I hope they consider making in single player would be a local tournament mode, like the old kick off games on amiga or whatever , bunch of pre-generated teams and the ability to make a team and name them and take them through a tournament. OLD REVIEW:Played heaps on the website, if u like paintball youll like this, been having issues getting this local version working for singleplayer, multiplayer still works fine. Devs have reached out which is amazing so hopefully its sorted soon
Had some issues when i first got this game but all i had to do was download the demo then download the full game! now that its fixed i love this game its just like the online normal version but you control everything and you dont need any sort of unlocks (im a level 50 ish and a $35 supporter)
For the PB faithful
I used to play Divisional some years ago, and greatly missed being able to enjoy something like this! Definitely something fun to play both offline and online, thanks guys for making something like this!
