Battlesport is a futuristic sports simulation game developed for 3DO. Players select vehicles to compete in an arena against computer-controlled opponents, aiming to score goals before time expires. The game features dynamic ball movement and player combat, where using weapons can disarm opponents and regain possession. Success in matches improves player rankings and allows for vehicle upgrades and enhanced gear.
Battlesport simulates the sport of the future. Choose your vehicle and enter the arena to face your computer opponents to see who scores the most goals before the clock runs out.
Scoring isn't easy. The ball constantly bounces over the arena, retrieved by a player constantly bombarded by opponents. A variety of weapons are available to shoot your competitor, and anyone that takes a hit while carrying the ball loses possession, sending the ball bouncing across the arena. Taking too many shots results in a temporary inability to take part in the action while your opponent happily scores goals.
Winning matches increases standing in the rankings and the acquisition of cash to purchase a better vehicle and enhanced offensive or defensive items.
