An introduction to Item Asylum

At its core, Item Asylum is a shooter experience peppered with memes and referential humor.

In this game, being defeated by an opponent is a certainty due to the nature of the item randomization. So, you will frequently find various items in your inventory that may either be the most powerful thing in the game or completely useless.

In a match, players will be given the choice to pick a starting class before spawning in. Use the abilities or weapons you have at your disposal to take out the opponents as many times as you can before the timer runs out. The team that completes the objective or gets the most kills wins.

• Juggernaut (JGN): One player assumes the role of a raid boss-like Juggernaut, receiving powerful weapons and an inflated HP pool. Other players must defeat them before the timer runs out.

• KIT: Players choose their own item sets, which can be reselected upon dying and respawning.
• Elimination (ELIM): All players must kill each other to determine the winner. Every player has three lives and gains extra HP with every kill. The player with the most lives wins.
