Silver Award-winning Respawnables celebrates its 5th anniversary with some crazy figures

I'll bet Respawnables is a name you haven't heard for a while, but it's time to re-familiarise yourself with it as it turns five years old. Sure, it's a milestone to be proud of, but there's more to it than pointy hats, candles, and a cake.

If you've never heard of it or need a refresher, Respawnables is a free-to-play third-person shooter where you choose your desired fighter and get to battling. Unlike most shooters, the aim is to gun down as many people as you can within the set time limit and avoid getting downed yourself. As the name suggests, if you die you respawn and continue the fun.

We gave it a Silver Award in its review, saying: "If you want to laugh at the typical FPS experience while still enjoying the basic elements of the genre, Respawnables is the game for you."

As the game reaches its five year mark, it's launching a special edition of the celebration Summer Camp where you can expect a host of goodies. Players will have double tiers to complete and double the amount of prizes to win, ten t-shirts to earn, four caps to wear, and some smoking hot offers to boot.

In its first five years, Respawnables has made 2.5 billion matches, has had 45 million downloads, 18 billion respawns, and 110 centuries worth of fun. Just to top that all off, if all Respawnables players joined hands they could cover more than the circumference of Earth, which is nuts when you think about it.

Grab it on iOS or Android if you fancy getting back into it.
