==Gameplay==
The gameplay of Indie Battle Stadium is a three-on-three tag-team fighting game similar to Marvel vs. Capcom and Dragon Ball FighterZ. The game uses a six-button control scheme. Players can select three characters from a variety of indie games to form a team. Each character can be switched out at any time. Before the match begins, players can select three different assist types of their choosing. All characters have a mechanic called the Omega Spirit, in which it enhances a character's speed and attack for a few seconds. Its duration is longer if one or two of the player's teammates are KO'd.

In an unknown dimension, a deity named Galvis merges multiple dimensions into one so that he may become its ruler.
