About the game

What you do in a play session

Remember that classic 'Capture the Flag' game from your school days? Now imagine that energy transported into the frantic universe of RELOAD. This expansion brings exactly that vibe: the Team Royale mode, where team cooperation and strategic positioning become the keys to victory. It's not just about beating the opponent; it's about coordinating your movements to infiltrate the enemy base and bring the flag home.

To support this new dynamic, the kit includes an 8-page map book. These scenarios were specifically designed for the capture mode, featuring layouts that challenge player movement and create interesting conflict points. If you already enjoy the base game, this addition completely refreshes the experience, transforming individual disputes into a faction war.

Beyond the new game mode, the expansion injects fresh blood into the roster. You gain access to characters like Diana, Echo, Kaiser, QWERTY, and Buzz, each bringing unique abilities that can drastically change your team's strategy. Whether you're building a team focused on aggressive attacks or an impenetrable defense, the variety of characters allows you to experiment with different combos and tactics.

Keep in mind that, as this is an expansion, you need the RELOAD base game to play. If you're looking for more tactical depth and enjoy games where communication with teammates is fundamental, this content is the perfect upgrade. It's the ideal mix of science fiction, intense fights, and that adrenaline rush of racing against time to secure victory for your team.
