BattleBit Remastered is a low-poly, tactical, first-person shooter game that provides gamers with an immersive multiplayer experience that rivals and often exceeds the spectacle offered in the most expensive AAA game productions present currently on the market.



With full support for 254 players present in a single match, this first-person shooter can easily resemble an MMO scale game that offers all of its players a unique gameplay opportunity to use tactical skills on an unprecedented scale.

Powered by a modern game engine that runs great even on older PC configurations, this BattleBit Remastered title promotes the use of simplifiedlow polygraphics that still manages to showcase the great scale of environments, destructible objects, and large-scale events that are often absent from multiplayer offerings of modern online games.

Main Features
  • Large-scale battles with up to 254 players.
  • Destructible environments.
  • Variety of weapons and vehicles.
  • Realistic bullet physics and injury system.
  • Customizable soldier loadouts.

How to Play

After starting the BattleBit Remastered game for the first time, the players are encouraged to join a server and choose to play in one of the available teams in any of the available game modes. This includes matches with either full number of players (127 vs 127 match), or modes with reduced player counts (8 vs 8, 16 vs 16, 32 vs 32, and 64 vs 64).

The objective varies depending on the game mode, but it generally involves eliminating the enemy team or capturing specific points on the large and detail-rich maps. Different roles on the battlefield can be served by picking a specified class, such as Assault, Medic, and Recon. Players can use a variety of weapons and vehicles to their achieve objectives. In fact, this game features 38 unique weapons from several categories (pistols, SMGs, assault rifles, shotguns, snipers, RPGs, and more).

All the action in this game is showcased on a diverse selection of 17 maps, which include a wide offering of environmental settings such as forests, mountains, plains, urban locations, and others.

User Interface

The user interface of BattleBit Remastered is clean and minimalistic, allowing players to focus on the gameplay. The HUD displays essential information like health, ammo, and the map, and player communication is achieved via a built-in and streamlined audio system for proximity-based voice chat. This dramatically increases the atmosphere of the title, enabling players to seamlessly communicate with allies and organize and execute offensive/defensive plans.
