ShellShock Live

ShellShock Live is a strategic online multiplayer artillery game from kChamp Games, sitting in the lineage of the Worms / Scorched Earth / Pocket Tanks family but reworked into a more rapid-fire, gear-driven competitive form. Eight-player team and free-for-all battles play out across destructible terrain, with tactical positioning, angle and power management, and weapon selection deciding match outcomes more than reflexes.

The weapon catalogue is the standout content. More than 400 unique weapons range from the intimidating Seagull to the ever-powerful Mega-Nuke, with every single one upgradable to more powerful variants as you accumulate XP. Loads of game modes — standard deathmatch, team variants, capture-the-flag-style objective modes, and various experimental rule sets — vary the rhythm of how matches play. Environmental factors like earthquakes and other natural disasters reshape the battlefield mid-match, keeping the terrain dynamic rather than purely static.

Progression spans 100 unique ranks, each with their own rewards and unlocks, alongside global leaderboards for competitive ranking. The studio's stated design principle is that all gameplay content — tanks, weapons, upgrades, items — is earned by playing rather than paying, with purchasable content kept strictly cosmetic and explicitly framed as community support. ShellShock Live has been in continuous active development since release, with new features and community-suggested changes rolling out frequently and a long tail of accumulated mechanical depth on top of the original release.
