About X8
X8 is a thrilling 5v5 shooter game where a diverse cast of heroes from different FPS franchises meet and battle against each other in interactive, competitive rounds. Each hero has access to three special abilities and their hero-specific items offer situational advantages. Players can use funds to purchase an extensive loadout of weapons, armor, and items to equip their heroes with during each round. The objective is to deploy a ‘Syphon’ at specific sites on the map during an attack or deactivate it within 30 seconds using ‘The Defuser’ during defense. If the defenders eliminate all attackers and prevent deployment of the Syphon or defuse a deployed Syphon, they win the round. Attackers win if the Syphon detonates. One session of X8’s gameplay consists of 14 rounds, first to 8 or drawing at 7/7 (subject to change).
