WELCOME TO INSULA

Welcome to Insula, the BR, that's not a BR. Insula is moreso, a creative vision, of what a BR could be. While it is based on the primary underlying concepts of the BR genre, we have strived to give it depth, and turn it into an experience you will truly remember. We have removed the more blatant and cumbersome mechanics and replaced them with system designs that we believe will give you, the player, a more engaging experience... a sense of purpose.

Insula is not just a battlefield where a bunch of players will duke it out for bragging rights. It has history, it has a life of its own. It is a living world with many experiences waiting to be discovered. It is beautiful, it is primal, it is deadly. It just also happens to be the locale of a great warriors battle. Will you be that warrior?

Welcome to Insula, we hope you enjoy our vision!

BIG A** ROBOTS, BAD A** COMBAT

CUSTOM BUILT YOUR WAY
How you build your bot not only effects how you look, but also your stats. Stats effect many aspects of gameplay, how you move, how you fight, what abilities you can use. Build your bot, build your playstyle!
SPECIAL ABILITIES
Choose special abilities to use in combat. Your final stat block will determine what abilities you have access to. Choose from passive effects, utility, combat enhancements, and even "oh sh*t buttons"!
MELEE IS NOT A LAST RESORT
Choose your weapon, choose your style! Customization and play style are important, you can customize your melee style just as you customize your armor. Insula has a real melee combat system with combos, breakers, closers and more!
PLAYER BOUNTIES
Bounties are the heart and soul of Insula: Bounty Royale. Hunt down other players and defeat them to claim the bounties on their heads, but be warned, the better you are, the more others will want to add your name to their trophy list.
GOING VERTICAL
Insula has multiple levels of vertical play space, providing some unique playstyle and tactical options. You even come equipped with your very own Jump Jets!

Jump Jets

Massive expanses of beautiful, fertile farmlands, gently rolling hills, soft sunsets and cool breezes... Not on Insula! This off-world mining colony is harsh, visceral, and.... well ok, it may be just a bit "vibrant" in places, but hey, you can't be all doom and gloom rig...

BEAUTIFUL BUT DEADLY

The floating island of Insula is both beautiful and extremely deadly. The various biomes that make up the islands' ecosystem are home to all manner of frightful beasts. These creatures may be territorial, short tempered, or flat out hungry... some just kill for sport.

The environment itself also poses it's own array of threats. There are no shortages of danger here on Insula. Happy trails settler!

Then there's the pyramid. No one knows what it is, or where it came from. But when that thing appeared... the whole place went to hell.
