About this game

The developer's description, from the game's Steam store page.

Snow War is a First Person Snowball game. No blood, no gore — just pure, chaotic fun where every hit counts.

Set as a classic "Boomer Shooter" FPS with Arena Multiplayer, we replaced the (boring) starting pistol with snowballs. This makes hitting frustrating to learn and impossible to master. Snow War is not for the weakest of hearts.

While snowballs are the bread and butter of your victory, the actual key is elsewhere. You must find gadgets that protect you, boost your throws, or give you a temporary edge. Use them wisely — batteries don’t last forever.

So what are you waiting for? Battle across neon‑lit cities and pine‑covered forests. Climb the scoreboard and prove you’re the champion of the frozen wasteland.

❄️ Key Features

  • Classic PvP FPS (First Person Snowball) action for up to 16 players
  • Free‑for‑all mode (team modes planned)
  • Online or LAN play
  • Offline bots for practice
  • Character customization
  • A variety of power‑ups that change the flow of battle
  • Custom servers with adjustable rules

Jump in, throw some snowballs, and tell us what you want to see next. Version 1.0 is just the beginning!
