Quantum League Review
Posted: 18 months ago, last updated 11 weeks ago.
Author: @GeekDadGamer and Jo Robertson.
Overview
It sounds complicated, but the bottom line is that this is a shooting game that puts the focus firmly on strategy, planning and intelligent thinking rather than just quick reactions and head-shots.
You can play solo against an online opponent in 1-v-1 battles or team up with a friend in 2-v-2 multiplayer matches. Along with the different formats, you can pick a range of modes. Free-For-All and Point Capture across 9 different arenas. There are currently 6 different characters and 6 varied weapons. You can unlock new outfits and styles as you progress.
The game is well designed to take advantage of this time-looping play with carefully designed small arenas. It also encourages other time-bending strategies like shooting where you think a future player may be in subsequent rounds. It's all very meta, but actually a lot of fun too.

Age Ratings
Not yet rated. Likely to be PEGI 16 and ESRB TEEN. There is no blood, although enemies do flinch when shot and their bodies remain on the ground once they have been killed. That said, the time travelling and cartoon visuals make it clear that this is a fantasy rather than real experience.

Users Interact: The game enables players to interact and communicate with each other, so may expose players to language usually associated with older rated games.
