Theorycraft Games serves a juiced-up mix of all your favorite genres with ‘SUPERVIVE’.

The past week has been a blur ever since I downloaded SUPERVIVE. I can’t even remember how it first caught my attention, whether it was a promotional post on X or catching a quick glimpse on Steam’s front page carousel. Its flashy, vibrant visuals immediately drew me into its gameplay trailer. Once that grimy phonk track started playing, I knew this was a Cool Game for Cool Dudes (sunglasses emoji). I think it was around 2 PM when I first launched the free-to-play game. “I’ll just play a few matches, see how it feels.” Suddenly, it was midnight.

One by one, my friends would hop into Discord and ask what I’m playing. “What the hell is SUPERVIVE?” Most of my attention was on the match, so I could really only offer the same brief answer. “Imagine League of Legends, but only the fun parts, and then make it a BR.”

The usual response? “Sold.”

I’ve played my fair share of both MOBAs and Battle Royales — from League of Legends, to Smite, to Paragon; from H1Z1, to PUBG, to Apex Legends. You name it, I’ve played it (read: spent money on cosmetics). While each genre offers exhilarating highs, the lows often take the stage most of the time. Those adrenaline-pumping team fights in MOBAs are one of a kind. But, once the enemy team starts snowballing because your support isn’t supporting? You’re stuck in a sometimes 30-45 minute hellscape, sighing in defeat at a neverending respawn timer. BRs offer that same moment-to-moment intensity, but the droughts in between are often spent wandering around empty spaces, scanning horizons for something, anything, to shoot at. And no, I’m not one of those “drop on the outskirts and hide” kind of dudes. You either hot drop on Tilted Towers or get out of my lobby.
