A unique attempt to combine the mechanics of the popular MOBA genre, like Dota 2 and League of Legends, with the features of classic first-person shooters. It's from developer of Brothers in Arms and the post-apocalyptic series, Borderlands. The story takes us to a world where heroes from five different factions battle in 5-man teams for the last star in the universe. It is worth noting that the game provides a vast gallery of characters to choose from, among which we will find such as an elven archer, a Japanese samurai, or a heavily-armed space marine. As we progress through the game, our heroes will reach higher levels of experience, allowing them to increase their statistics and the effectiveness of their skills. The games can take the form of either classic MOBA team PvP fights or a dedicated co-op campaign for 5 players, for which an expansive storyline has been prepared. It has three distinct multiplayer modes: Incursion - Teams of heroes must defend their base from waves of AI-controlled minions while working together alongside their own minions to destroy their opponent’s base; Devastation - Teams of heroes face off in a fast-paced death match and must capture and hold objectives on the map to win; Meltdown - Teams of heroes must guide their minions as they march to their death at the center of the map. Points are scored for every minion who throws themselves into the incinerator, and the team with the most points wins. All experience points, whether earned through playing the Story Mode or Competitive Multiplayer modes, contribute to leveling up individual Character Rank, as well as player profile Command Rank. Each hero can permanently rank up from 1 to 10 outside of missions and matches, allowing players to swap out augments in their helix skill tree, as well as unlock skins. Players can rank up their own player profile, unlocking badges and titles to impress friends, and loot that can be used to benefit any hero the player chooses to command. Factions: The last star, Solus, is the only beacon of hope for the universe’s surviving factions; The Peacekeepers are sworn protectors of Solus; The Eldrid are preservers of the natural order of the universe; The Rogues are mercenaries only concerned with their own survival; The Last Light Consortium (LLC) are war profiteers, exploiting others for their own gain; The Jennerit Empire rule others by force, valuing power above all else. It has a deep roster of 25 playable heroes and no two are the same. Every hero has their own personality and comes equipped with their own unique weapons and powers. Helix System: The accelerated character growth system allows players to level-up a character from 1 to 10 and fully experience each hero's unique weapons and powers in a single story mission or multiplayer match. The game shut down in January/2021. |
