Both the genre of Battle Royale, MOBA, and hero shooter are among the most popular multiplayer games in the world. A developer has merged all genres and will release their game in July 2025 on Steam.
What game is it? The game Supervive by Theorycraft Games is titled “MOBA-Battle Royale meets Hero Shooter” and combines the three genres into a single game (Steam.com).
Just like in Fortnite or Apex Legends, you jump into an arena with your team, where a zone continues to shrink. The actual gameplay resembles League of Legends more, as the heroes are controlled from a top-down perspective. Supervive has been available as Early-Access on Steam since November 20, 2024.
What changes are expected with the full release? In the announcement on Steam for the official release, the developers write that version 1.0 will change the game from the ground up. The progression system, game structure, map, client, and more have been revamped.
On July 17, there will be a preview for version 1.0, and at the same time, the Early-Access servers will be taken offline in preparation for the release. Theorycraft also states that there will be some rewards for Early-Access players when the full version is released.
What rewards do you get as an Early-Access player? If you played Supervive in Early-Access, you receive a cartoon carrot will-o’-the-wisp and the badge “Champion”. If you spent more than 40 hours with the game, you will receive the “Original” glider, the first glider from Supervive, and the title “Theorycrafter”. If you own the Battle Pass, Theorycraft is giving you a total of 200,000 experience points to compensate for the time from July 17 to July 24, 2025.

The Early-Access was a great success
How well is Supervive received? The Early-Access of Supervive had almost 50,000 concurrent players on Steam in the first month (SteamDB.info). Currently, however, there are under 1000 players logging into the beta daily. The over 17,000 reviews on Steam state “Very Positive”, which is 89% of all votes.
The Steam user TheGrimreeferzz writes after 160 hours of playing Supervive (Steam.com):
I have been playing League of Legends for a long time, but to be honest, Supervive is ten times better and much more fun. Honestly, I am surprised that the game is not significantly more successful than it currently is.
Another user named Lumauk writes the following on Steam:
As strange as a mix of Battle Royale, Shooter, and MOBA sounds on paper, they do it really well. I hope the game gets the hype it deserves soon!
Are there also negative voices? Yes, alongside many positive reviews, there are also some negative ones that criticize the monetization model of Supervive.
Lena writes on Steam that the game is really fun, but there are 2 different currencies that both must be purchased with real money. The skins cost about 17 Euros and are often only available for a limited time. Furthermore, there are upgrades for the skins in the form of different designs or animations, which also need to be purchased with money.
Supervive definitely has a good foundation to become a great game and bring fresh wind. Besides Supervive, there are plenty of games on Steam.
