Squad Busters Will Be Released At The End Of May
Squad Busters will be released on May 29, 2024.
Having been first announced on January 31, 2023, Squad Busters is well over a year in development. It follows a standard development roadmap like other mobile games. This involves the initial announcement, followed by closed beta tests, a soft launch, and a global launch.
Squad Busters officially entered its soft-launch phase on April 23, 2024, in countries such as Canada, Denmark, Finland, Mexico, Norway, Singapore, Spain, and Sweden.
How To Pre-Register For Squad Busters
You can pre-register for Squad Busters through the game's official website. Pre-registering for Squad Busters will allow you to participate in future tests and inform you of any game updates.
Several tests have been conducted in the past. The first closed beta test was available in Canada in February 2023. This was followed by the second closed beta test held in May 2023 for Android players in Canada, Mexico, and Spain.
Squad Busters Gameplay Offers Team-Based And Action-Packed Combat
To put it simply, Squad Busters has team-based combat-driven gameplay. As seen from the closed beta footage, you will be able to participate in 4-minute matches against nine other players.
At the beginning of a match, you start with a single unit. From there, you'll need to build up your squad by opening chests with Gold. Each chest will grant you a single additional unit. Interact with the terrain (such as chopping down trees), defeat neutral enemies, or eliminate rival squads if you want to earn Gold.
Once the match ends, all remaining squads will be ranked on how many Gems they have gathered. You can earn Gems by eliminating enemy squads or going to the Gem Mine.
A key thing to note about Squad Busters is that there is no attack button as all attacks are done automatically depending on your proximity to enemies. Once you lose a unit(s) in your squad, you lose them for good. You'll need to open chests to build your squad back up.
Each unit comes with its own unique 'Special Ability', so choose wisely when assembling your squad on the battlefield as it could mean the difference. You'll be in for a treat if you've played other Supercell titles, as each of these units hails from the developer's previous games.
