A tremendous band of badass heroes fight to protect the universe's very last star from a mysterious evil in this next-gen shooter by the creators of Borderlands. To defend it, you'll need to utilize every type of character and weapon you've ever imagined -- from cyborg hawkmen to samurai vampires to mini-gun wielding man-mountains. Slash and parry, run and gun, cast and dash, or simply obliterate foes all while building and growing your personal team of heroes. Choose your hero and fight alone or co-operatively alongside friends in story missions, or battle against them in fast-paced competitive multiplayer matches.

I haven't been following the development of this one but I just got an email about it so thought I'd post about it here for you guys to have a butchers at

I've never played a MOBA-style game but have registered for the technical test. Be interesting to see how it plays.

It's not a MOBA is it? I thought it was just something along the lines of TF2.

ICEx21 · 23 Sep 2015 at 09:11

No thanks Jeff

Not a lot of chatter about this for some reason? It looks fun and surely it's good to have a competitor to Overwatch.

Something arrived via email and I'm downloading now...

Klunt Bumskrint · 28 Oct 2015 at 06:23

I'm in but have no idea what to expect

SarGara · 28 Oct 2015 at 08:19

Urgh that trailer is proper cringy, what's the target audience 12yr olds?

ICEx21 · 28 Oct 2015 at 08:19

I'm in as well, Misschief think I've still got you on Steam. I'll be up for a game later with you if you're about.

Timber · 28 Oct 2015 at 13:10

I'm in too although I'm really not sure its going to be my cup of tea.

MissChief · 30 Oct 2015 at 01:21

OK, I've played it and I can't talk about it. Or show any of the screenshots I took. Or the Shadowplay stuff I've taken.

Klunt Bumskrint · 30 Oct 2015 at 06:36

I'll just say that I was pleased with the amount of characters and I had about 10% more fun that I expected

Shamikebab · 30 Oct 2015 at 09:34

I'm in too, add me Shamikebab on Steam

Jock · 30 Oct 2015 at 13:04

I couldn't seem to get a game yesterday was always stuck in a queue and frustratingly there was no indication of the size of the queue.

I managed to get a game last night and had a blast (no pun intended) in the co op story mode, Borderlands does Left 4 dead 2 kinda sums it up nicely, it has me hooked already

Good summary. It's not to bad, has potential and some work on balance.

Overwatch looks a million times more polished

Had a game but don't think it's for me.
Seems to be far too geared towards melee for my liking.
I want to shoot things
