Leave a comment and let us know. The game’s many PvE and PvP modes also let you switch things up, so expect this PC title to be a massive timesink when it’s released in the west later this year. Master x Master also gives you plenty of chances to paly as those characters too, as the game’s ‘tag’ system lets you choose between two Masters mid-combat (there are hundreds of possible combinations). Many of its characters (called ‘Masters’) are taken from NCsoft’s other franchises, meaning that if you’ve played Blade & Soul and Guild Wars 2, you’re sure to see some familiar faces. Master x Master Reveal Trailer via Play MXM Master x Masterįollowing beta testing in South Korea, NCsoft’s team action MOBA Master x Master was recently announced for a European and North American release. Paladins is still in beta though (beta is set to last until it reaches Hi-Rez’ standards) so we’ll see if that changes as testing continues. As it stands, there are only three playable female characters (out of nine characters overall) and they are all really unnecessarily sexualised. The Hi-Rez Studios title also has a colourful cast of characters, including fiery thief Pip and neon assassin Skye. Is Paladins: Champions of the Realm a MOBA? At heart, this PC game is a team shooter but its three modes are all some variation on capturing objectives, summoning siege engines and pushing towards the enemy base so it certainly has that MOBA tinge to it. Paladins – Forging a New Realm via Paladins by Hi-Rez Studios Paladins: Champions of the Realm In addition to a campaign mode (which can be played in single player or co-op), there are several multiplayer modes including Meltdown (march minions to their death), Capture (a death match with capture-based objectives), and Incursion (march minions to the enemy base and defeat it, be sure to defend your own base too). Just 25 playable characters will be included at launch but the variety of game modes should keep Battleborn feeling fresh. We’re a few months away from its release date now though (May 3 on PC, PS4 and Xbox One), and the positively cartoon-y “hero shooter” actually looks like a winner. ![]() ![]() It sounds like there’s a lot going on here but its focus on strategy should prove to be a test rather than a hindrance.īattleborn: Multiplayer Reveal Trailer via Battleborn BattlebornĪdmittedly, when it was first announced in 2014 Gearbox Software’s Battleborn looked like a game that had been made specifically to bank on the MOBA trend. You’ll have to manage those units and that aforementioned tech along with upgrades and build order. Something else that sets this one apart from the rest of the MOBA field is that you can both deploy and outfit your lane units as you see fit. Currently in beta, this PC game also has a variety of heroes, creeps to do your bidding and structures to take down, but the big twist here is that the technologies and alien powers of its futuristic setting can help you turn the tide of battle. ![]() Supernova is a sci-fi MOBA from Bandai Namco and Primal Game Studio. Supernova Official Announcement Gameplay Trailer via Supernova Supernova It boosts these abilities with a complicated yet useful card system. ![]() While we’ve only seen a few of its playable characters in action, some of the abilities on offer include super fast, death dealing daggers, arrows that can travel right across the map and even the ability to summon asteroids from another dimension and throw them at your enemies. It’s fairly traditional as there are creeps, laser shooting towers and lanes (that go both high and low) for you to consider. Paragon, the new MOBA from Epic Games, is headed to PC and PS4 later this year.

While that’s good news for fans of this type of game, it also means that there are going to be some pretty rubbish copycats too. Last month it was revealed that Riot Games’ juggernaut League of Legends made over $1.6 billion during 2015, while Valve’s Dota 2 raked in $238 million.Īs a result of the genre’s success, more and more developers are making MOBAs of their own.
