As already leaked, the game is a 6v6 third-person hero-based shooter. Heroes include magicians, robots, creatures, humans, and more. There are currently 19 different heroes, each with different abilities and playstyles that you’d come to expect from a MOBA including ranged, healers, tanks, assassins, etc.
Players have described the game to me as being very similar to DOTA in terms of its gameplay loop and mechanics. This includes killing enemies and creeps to get the in-game currency of “souls,” which allows you to buy items to make your hero stronger. According to sources, both creeps and enemies will spawn a soul upon death, which floats up and away when they die.
Pouring resources does not equate quality, there’s no new idea here. They try a overwatch like game when their IP contains the most successful hero shooter out there.
They tend to play non shooter mobas, you know, like dota. Why try to compete with your own ip?
It reeks of poor design choice, jus like artifact, and no amount of money will fix that.
I keep seeing everyone comparing this to overwatch, how is this like overwatch at all? Just because you pick a character and they have unique abilities?
I’ve been playing dota for over a decade and couldn’t get into any other moba I’ve ever tried, but I think this sounds like it could be fun and I’d give it a chance at least.
Edit: I take that back, I’ve played exactly one other game I’d classify as a moba extensively, and it was Monday Night Combat, which was really similar to this concept. Super Monday Night Combat killed it and sucked though.
monday night combat was dope
I loved that game. If Valve wants to take a crack at making Super Monday Night Combat but done well I’m here for it, and I think they could pull it off.
Ok you’ve got me with Monday night combat, I hope to be proven wrong tbh, it’s a sliver of hope and I won’t join the bandwagon.
We know very little about it at this point. It doesn’t reek of anything, seems like you’re just making assumptions based on very little information.
The idea is not very exciting. I’m hoping to be proved wrong, I really am.
