Editor review
Flag Capture io is a team capture-the-flag io with five-versus-five matches. Capture enemy flags; protect your own. Round-based with ten-minute matches.
What works is the role-based team composition. Each player picks a role pre-match (scout, defender, support, runner). Roles have different abilities. Coordinating role assignments is the team's main meta-game.
Five-versus-five matches in four arena themes. Maps are designed for symmetric team objectives. Spawn locations equidistant from flag positions.
Tested over six Mumbai weekend matches. Matchmaking works for team format; teams are auto-balanced by role and skill.
Where the design earns its three-and-a-half is the round-based scoring. Best of seven rounds; round wins matter more than total kills. Players who focus on flag captures (not kills) win more.
Where I would push back is the toxic-communication issue. Voice chat is unmoderated; new players regularly face hostile communication. Adding pre-set quick-chat options (like Overwatch) and limiting voice chat would have helped.
Three-and-a-half stars. Solid team CTF io with thoughtful role system. Limited by communication-toxicity issues.
