What is Squad Busters?

Squad Busters is an action game with a brawly gameplay where you control a squad of characters that move as a group in an arena. They automatically attack enemies within their range when you stop moving. As you defeat enemies, you can open chests to acquire new units or additional copies of your current units to strengthen them. The more objectives you complete around the map—such as opening chests and defeating other players—the more Gems you earn. The player with the most Gems when the timer runs out wins the game. Each stage features nine other players who will attack you and your units in an attempt to steal your Gems.

The characters in Squad Busters come from all the main Supercell titles, including Clash Royale and Brawl Stars. This setup reminds me a lot of my beloved Heroes of the Storm, though fans of Supercell titles are certainly hoping for a more successful outcome for Squad Busters than that experienced by the Blizzard title.
