<h2>Overview</h2><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://gameoffthegrid.com/">Off the Grid</a> (OTG) brings a new twist to cyberpunk shooters, blending the last-player-standing intensity of <a target="_self" rel="noopener noreferrer">battle royales</a> with the strategy and loot mechanics of extraction shooters. Developed by Gunzilla Games, OTG introduces players to the gritty landscape of Teardrop Island, a dystopian battleground where corporations clash, and players make choices that influence the world around them.&nbsp;</p><figure class="media"><div data-oembed-url="https://www.youtube.com/embed/sZ1iA9LgQPY"><iframe style="width: 100%;" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/sZ1iA9LgQPY" width="560" height="352" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div></figure><h2>Game Lore</h2><p>Set on Teardrop Island, Off the Grid dives into a world controlled by powerful corporations who use enhanced mercenaries to fight for territory, resources, and influence. The game explores themes of power, corruption, and rebellion, where each faction has its own motives and goals. Players are thrown into this corporate warfare, aligning with different factions, completing missions, and discovering the layers of conflict that shape the island’s future.</p><h2>Gameplay and Features</h2><p>Off The Grid presents a captivating and immersive experience in the realm of battle royale games, distinguished by its cyberpunk setting and innovative features.</p><h4>Immersive Cyberpunk World</h4><p>The game plunges players into a futuristic universe, where neon lights and advanced technology create a vivid dystopian atmosphere. This cyberpunk theme is not just aesthetic; it infuses every aspect of the game, from the design of the environments to the technology available to players. It offers a distinct flavor that sets Off The Grid apart from other titles in the battle royale genre, providing a fresh and engaging backdrop for the intense action.</p><figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1840/1035;object-fit:contain;" src="https://assets.gam3s.gg/OTG_PS_Store_1_3b029b6a0a/OTG_PS_Store_1_3b029b6a0a.jpeg" alt="OTG PS Store 1.jpeg" width="1840" height="1035"></figure><h4>Drop In and Gather Loot</h4><p>Like other battle royales such as Fortnite, each match of Off the Grid starts with your character dropping from a plane, letting you choose your landing spot on the map. Once on the ground, you’ll search for loot crates filled with essentials like weapons, ammo, shields, and even Cyberlimbs. Speaking of firepower, OTG packs a full arsenal, from pistols and SMGs to sniper rifles and shotguns. The variety of gear gives players plenty of options to customize their <a target="_self" rel="noopener noreferrer">loadout</a>&nbsp;and adapt to the challenges they face.</p><figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1200/686;object-fit:contain;" src="https://assets.gam3s.gg/OTG_guns_23f1000a0f/OTG_guns_23f1000a0f.webp" alt="" width="1200" height="686" data-placeholder="data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAoAAAAGCAIAAAB1kpiRAAAACXBIWXMAAAPoAAAD6AG1e1JrAAAAxUlEQVR4nAG6AEX/AAAjOnvA05TT5Zje8ZfX6qXt/LHw/7bw/q/u/EQ7TgAOUnYaW3kOQWEIOFUeS2qQ//+LvtODcnZsYmwjS2gABkhsCShAEBorCCpEJ12BO4GrQH6nIm2XMkZgIjxVAAAzTwA+WhkjMyQsPE1GUm0vJygiKTc1Q0EtN0QzPAAAOlkAJDkJLEMaRWAWMkkwO0w7Ji88Mz5QLTJPISIACTJMDwAFGxIbMSYuLRQYPRUXTyYlVhsWhhgBbCce2ig550TFfC0AAAAASUVORK5CYII="></figure><h4>Don't Let the Grid Touch You</h4><p>As the game progresses, a familiar closing-circle mechanic kicks in, forcing the remaining players into an ever-smaller area. This “Grid” steadily shrinks, creating high-stakes zones for intense encounters. Some players prefer to control the center of each circle, staking out strategic vantage points early on. Others keep close to the edge, staying mobile and picking off competitors as they’re forced to move. The closing Grid adds layers of strategy, making each match dynamic and unpredictable.</p><h4>Customize Yourself with Cyberlimbs</h4><p>In OTG’s world, mercenaries enhanced by cybernetic modifications are hired by powerful mega-corporations. This setup extends into gameplay, where players can upgrade their characters with customizable Cyberlimbs. These aren’t just cosmetic changes like character skins or weapon wraps; Cyberlimbs give you distinct combat powers. Think of Cyberlimbs as a flexible take on the abilities you might find in Apex Legends: rather than having set skills, you can mix and match these cybernetic enhancements to fit your playstyle.</p><figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1920/1080;object-fit:contain;" src="https://assets.gam3s.gg/image_da5e64ae94/image_da5e64ae94.png" alt="" width="1920" height="1080" data-placeholder="data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAoAAAAGCAIAAAB1kpiRAAAACXBIWXMAAAsTAAALEwEAmpwYAAAAiklEQVR4nGPQ1taWkpJiQALMzMwMDAwiIiJS0lIM5hYWFhaWoqJiyCoYGBjWbVjp4GjHEBOTVFpaaWpqzsDAwMnJKSoqamNrkZAY/+v3F35+fgZmZiaIaTKysv0T+iprK46fOTBv/hxRUVGQIWoqsdx8ymCtXCDlaEBM2oWdXRLMZERxmrCwtLQ0AGU4GGOHZ+X1AAAAAElFTkSuQmCC"></figure><p>Cyberlimbs offer a range of capabilities, from launching missiles to enabling high jumps for better mobility, granting temporary invisibility, and even unleashing devastating melee attacks. These enhancements can be found in loot crates around the map, just like weapons, and can be swapped out to adjust your loadout as you play. This variety in abilities lets you make tactical decisions on the fly, adapting to the shifting battlefield with each encounter.</p><h2>NFTs and Blockchain</h2><p>Off the Grid (OTG) introduces a <a target="_self" rel="noopener noreferrer">blockchain-powered ecosystem</a> that adds depth and player agency to the game’s economy. Built on the GUNZ blockchain, OTG uses an Avalanche subnet to manage in-game assets securely and efficiently. At the core of this system is the GUN token, which players can earn and use to trade in-game items like cyberlimbs, skins, and weapons in the Gunzilla Marketplace. These items are represented as NFTs, giving players true ownership and the freedom to buy, sell, and trade their gear, creating a player-driven economy.</p><figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:687/311;object-fit:contain;" src="https://assets.gam3s.gg/OTG_mint_56ad251bcd/OTG_mint_56ad251bcd.png" alt="" width="687" height="311" data-placeholder="data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAoAAAAFCAIAAADzBuo/AAAACXBIWXMAAAsTAAALEwEAmpwYAAAAoklEQVR4nGNQ0zKRlFYXk1BU0NRQ0NQQk5RX19bWNzGTkZaSkJBgyC1qmDB9VV5hRUZxVvfc6UHhsZZODvZuHgryciDp3bvWvnv7MCY6oCQ/7f2b+22tdYyMzDKysqpqquISEgynj2z79u6+rY1RS0vF/z+vetuqOHl4FJWVNTTUQborijLnzOx1dbH39XGd2t/s7+PGw8MnKyenra0tISkJADAUMMgn2pN3AAAAAElFTkSuQmCC"></figure><p>A unique feature of OTG’s blockchain system is the integration of Hexes—valuable resources scattered across the game world. Hexes are collected during missions or extraction runs and serve as a critical element in minting items into NFTs. Players can decode Hexes after extraction, revealing randomized traits or stats that impact gameplay. This decoding process adds a level of unpredictability, as each Hex holds unique attributes that can enhance weapons, boost stats, or unlock special abilities when minted into NFT form.</p><figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:687/391;object-fit:contain;" src="https://assets.gam3s.gg/OTG_hex_007c52c64b/OTG_hex_007c52c64b.webp" alt="" width="687" height="391" data-placeholder="data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAoAAAAGCAIAAAB1kpiRAAAACXBIWXMAAAPoAAAD6AG1e1JrAAAAtElEQVR4nGNorG/Oyy+xs7OrLcnP9HIp9HMzV1Xh4uJKTYn7+vUTg7efr4GBgbKysqebe1FSgruBjpaCvLysTEJ85Ps3rxnExMSEhITExMSUwUBBQUFTQ1VPR8vR3i4mPIRBSEiIi4uLj4+PgYHBwsFNWVlZRVHB2FBfT0fLwsyEQVJSkpWVlYuLi4GBgY+PT1JSEmKAsaG+rbUVQ35+kZurj7KyMkSRGBgY6Dl7e2eFhYUBAGP0JhEnmUABAAAAAElFTkSuQmCC"></figure><p>The <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://marketplace.gunz.dev/">Gunzilla Marketplace</a> serves as the central hub for trading these NFT assets. Through the marketplace, players can use their GUN tokens to buy or sell items, with the game’s economy influenced solely by player transactions. Gunzilla Games has committed to not selling NFTs directly, letting players shape the market based on supply, demand, and in-game utility.&nbsp;For those seeking rewards and deeper involvement, OTG offers ways to earn GUN tokens through various in-game activities, such as completing missions, winning matches, or extracting rare resources. However, engaging with blockchain features is entirely optional. Players who prefer a traditional gaming experience can fully enjoy OTG without participating in the NFT or token aspects, while others can dive into the blockchain side to maximize their customization and potential rewards.</p><h2>Latest Updates (2025)</h2><p data-start="186" data-end="688">Off The Grid made a big step in 2025 by launching on Steam, opening the game to a wider PC audience alongside PS5 and Xbox players. Cross-platform play is fully active, but because of store rules, the Steam edition runs its blockchain features on testnet, while the full asset and wallet tools stay available on the standalone launcher. On the ecosystem side, Gunzilla continued its mainnet rollout, migrating over 21,000 player accounts and bringing validator nodes online to support the GUNZ network.</p><p data-start="690" data-end="1158">Gameplay also saw noticeable tuning throughout the year. The Red Ant Battle Pass introduced themed skins, new weapons, and the Cyberlancer limb mod, which changed melee engagements and mobility options. A major balance patch lowered overall weapon TTK by roughly 30%, added Legendary-tier guns, adjusted aim assist, and tightened recoil and movement feel. The map expanded as well, with the Midtown Harbour zone adding more vertical routes and industrial cover setups.</p><p data-start="1160" data-end="1577">To mix up pacing between matches, a 20-player Free-For-All mode was added, along with smaller combat arenas like Marshlands and Ocio to keep firefights tight. Extraction flow was also refined with quicker HEX terminal interaction, clearer risk windows, and smoother traversal animations.</p><h2>How to Get Started</h2><p>Ready to dive into Off the Grid? &nbsp;The game is currently available on Windows (via the <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/off-the-grid-7e3cc5">Epic Games Store</a> and Steam), <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://store.playstation.com/en-us/concept/10008971">PlayStation 5</a>, and <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://gameoffthegrid.com/xbox-announcement/">Xbox Series X</a>, giving players a head start on exploring Teardrop Island.

Off The Grid

<p>Off The Grid is a chaotic battle royale masterpiece from visionary director Neill Blomkamp, creator of District 9 and Elysium.</p>
<p>Developed by Gunzilla Games, this ambitious blockchain game combines stunning visuals with a rich narrative. However, early access has revealed some serious challenges, with optimization issues, bugs, and hackers affecting gameplay.</p>
<p>Will Off The Grid become the blockbuster blockchain gaming needs, or will it fall short, joining the ranks of over-promised, under-delivered titles?</p>
<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1200/675;object-fit:contain;" src="https://assets.gam3s.gg/Off_the_Grid_How_To_Meta_Image_8a9cfccd77/Off_the_Grid_How_To_Meta_Image_8a9cfccd77.png" alt="Off the Grid How To  Meta Image.png" width="1200" height="675"></figure>
<h2>Gameplay</h2>
<p>Off The Grid takes a fresh approach, combining elements from Fortnite, Apex Legends, and Call of Duty: Warzone. Its 150-player Battle Royale PvP mode intertwines with a 60-hour campaign, creating a dynamic experience where players can tackle both modes simultaneously. The concept is unique and showcases the creative talent Gunzilla Games has brought on board.</p>
<p>Currently, in Off The Grid’s Early Access build, players can dive into an Extraction-based Battle Royale mode featuring 60-player matches. Matchmaking is efficient, with most games filling up within a minute. Occasionally, there are delays in starting matches even after they fill up, possibly due to players taking extra time to load in.</p>
<p>Once the game starts, players begin in a dropship and follow the classic Battle Royale setup: drop down, eliminate enemies with a team of three, and earn rewards such as GUNZ tokens and Hexes.</p>
<p>The in-game currency, GUNZ, powers the Gunzilla Games ecosystem, allowing users with an OTG Pro monthly subscription to buy and sell skins. Hexes, which can be gathered through "Hextractors" that must be defended, provide in-game rewards like attachments and skins when opened post-match, with a small GUNZ fee.</p>
<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1280/720;object-fit:contain;" src="https://assets.gam3s.gg/Off_the_Grid_Guide_Meta_Image_c038bdf8c7/Off_the_Grid_Guide_Meta_Image_c038bdf8c7.png" alt="Off the Grid Guide Meta Image.png" width="1280" height="720"></figure>
<p>Coming from a competitive gaming background, I find some aspects still lacking. Currently, there’s no ranking system, and gameplay heavily favors auto-shotguns (Squalls). Updates have been relatively infrequent, despite significant marketing pushes.</p>
<p>As it stands, I can often achieve 20+ kills per game, accumulating over 30 GUNZ without even capturing Hexes.</p>
<p>The game’s announcer uses gritty, provocative language, fitting the overall design tone. Textures, buildings, character design, and gunplay feel on par with top-tier extraction games. However, despite my high-end RTX 4090, achieving high frame rates requires adjusting graphics settings below the game’s maximum limitations. With improved optimization in the coming months, Off The Grid could deliver a much smoother experience, aligning more closely with the immersive potential the game promises.</p>
<p>The game features an innovative "Cyberlimbs" system, allowing players to customize gameplay by attaching different legs and arms, each with unique abilities and rarities found in loot crates scattered across the map. These attachments add strategic depth, enabling players to tailor combinations for various play styles. Currently, the "Paralyzer" ability stands out as a game-changer, offering vision through walls and delivering a lightning bolt that briefly stuns opponents, adding an intense layer to encounters. While balancing issues are typical in Early Access games, evolving metas like the Leaper/Javelin combinations keep gameplay fresh and engaging.</p>

<p>Throughout the map, players can undertake missions to earn funds, either to call in custom loadouts or revive teammates. These missions add a compelling purpose to each game, with the Bounty Hunter mission being a standout. This objective marks a target somewhere on the map, allowing players to hunt them down for extra rewards and adding an intense thrill to each match.</p>
<p>The loadout system strikes a fine balance between free-to-play and OTG Pro players, similar to progression systems in games like League of Legends, where unlocking all content can take time but remains fair. My preferred loadout currently includes the Kite and Squall, which, despite a recent nerf, still offers solid firepower.</p>
<p>In Cyberlimbs, my go-to setup is Paralyzer, Leapers, and Phosphorous Fury—perfect for landing powerful hits that can knock out enemies instantly when executed precisely.</p>
<p>The game maintains a constant state of chaos as you navigate missions, shrinking map spaces, and exhilarating escapes using jetpacks and zip lines to shift across the battlefield. Even small choices, like backpack selection, offer strategic advantages. For instance, while the Epic Grid backpack provides brief storm protection, ideal for late-game survival, the Soldier backpack automatically reloads your secondary weapon, making it particularly effective in the early game.</p>
<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1200/675;object-fit:contain;" src="https://assets.gam3s.gg/OTG_cyberlimbs_metaimage_edbb239d43/OTG_cyberlimbs_metaimage_edbb239d43.png" alt="OTG cyberlimbs metaimage.png" width="1200" height="675"></figure>
<p>These detailed customizations introduce a high skill curve that rewards practice and precision. A more comprehensive tutorial would greatly benefit new players, giving them the confidence to dive in. While a gun range is available under the loadouts tab, it isn’t immediately clear to newcomers. Knocking down enemies and securing victories is incredibly satisfying, delivering a rush of excitement with each win—though a more dynamic post-win screen would add to the thrill of victory.</p>
<h2>Review</h2>
<p>Off The Grid has the potential to not only rival giants like Fortnite but perhaps surpass them with its unique take on the battle royale genre. The game is visually stunning, incorporating inventive mobility elements and a narrative-driven storyline—a rare feature in battle royales, and one I find refreshing.</p>
<p>Positioned as a groundbreaking blockchain game, Off The Grid is already a leader in the Web3 gaming space, with the GUNZ token seamlessly integrated into the gameplay loop, adding an engaging layer to progression.</p>
<p>Overall, I find myself drawn to Off The Grid more than any other game I’ve played in recent years, eagerly anticipating its continued evolution. For an Early Access title, it meets my expectations and shows potential to become a 10/10 breakout hit. Time will tell if Off The Grid will fully deliver on its promises when it officially launches.</p>
