Ups to Haemish for turning me on to this beta. You can sign up and get into the beta here. The turnaround is pretty quick (it took me like 3 days) or, I have 3 Steam keys left, if anyone wants them. Leave me a message here and we can work it out on Steam. I don't have much input on the game itself as I've only played the tutorial, which is about 5 minutes. Just a heads up that I have extra keys if anyone cares. |

It's not a MOBA and it's not Diablo althoguh it borrows from both. It's a hybrid that could evolve into mindless casual fun or utter crap depending on they direction they'll expand. Last patch notes were "8 new characters!" which sounded exciting, except it turned out they are just modified versions of the existing ones although with a completely different set of skills and attributes. So, totally meh.
You move with WASD and hit stuff where your mouse is pointing, 360° around you.
There's an interesting PvP mode, three teams instead of the usual two fighting on an objective/resource based map. That's not bad.

What characteristics does a character possess other than skills and attributes?

Graphics, audio, animations, name. Instead of introducing new characters over the original four, they are just renaming the old ones "mutated <original name>" or "armored <original name>" and reskin them a bit.

In a MOBA, skills and attributes seem to be more important than graphics, audio, etc.

I can put this to bed quickly:
This is a bad game.

Depends, I'm sure there's a market that doesn't care about graphics at all, but it's not going to lure a lot of new players in, and these competitive multiplayer games need a broad playerbase. And if they're trying to play the e-sports angle, it's super important for the audience. These games are already confusing with fifty or a hundred characters, now imagine if you can't tell which is which by looking at them. Giving Teemo ten different skins is already hard to keep track of, if ten different characters all looked like Teemo it would be even harder to follow. |

Rendakor, this is not a MOBA. And anyway, I am not sure LoL or DOTA would be equally popular if instead of having 100 champions they had 4 and then alternate variations of those.

Looks like everyone who has a copy of Dead Island now has a copy of this game, too. Anyone played it recently? Is it worth taking a look at?

A second key doesn't make this crap better. They should kill it because it is a bad game.
