BombedOut is an online multiplayer game developed by the Swedish studio BombedOut Games, released in 2016. The game is set in a post-apocalyptic world where players take on the role of survivors in a ruined city, navigating through various zones to gather resources, complete missions, and ultimately rebuild civilization. The game’s title references the concept of a city being "bombed out," emphasizing its dystopian and chaotic atmosphere.

BombedOut features a mix of survival, crafting, and combat mechanics. Players must scavenge for supplies, repair structures, and defend against hostile factions, including mutants and rival survivors. The game’s open-world design allows for exploration, with multiple objectives and emergent gameplay driven by player interactions. Cooperative play is a core aspect, as players can team up to tackle challenges, share resources, and progress together.

The game’s visual style is characterized by its low-poly graphics, reminiscent of early 2000s video games, which contributes to its retro aesthetic. BombedOut also includes a modding system, allowing players to create and share custom content, such as new maps, weapons, and gameplay mechanics. This has fostered a vibrant community that continues to expand the game’s longevity.

BombedOut has received praise for its simplicity, replayability, and community-driven development. While it lacks advanced graphics or complex storytelling, its focus on player freedom and collaboration has earned it a dedicated fanbase. The game is available on multiple platforms, including PC, PlayStation, and Xbox, and remains a popular choice for those seeking a relaxed yet engaging multiplayer experience.
