New Details on Valve's New Game 'Deadlock' - Insider Gaming (insider-gaming.com)

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.

As a non MOBA game player I'm a little disappointed

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Because this might mean abandoning dota? Or because you're just not all that into what you're seeing?

This sounds to me like it's going to be more like overwatch than like dota, so I expect that's really what they're trying to compete with.

Just personally they arent my type of game. Single player games are my forte

I think so too on the Overwatch DOTA hybrid, it makes sense they are making MOBA/Royale style games since that's what's popular (esp internationally) and what makes money. But again, not my genre.

Ah, I see now that you said "as a non moba player". I missed that. I thought you meant that for someone who likes MOBAs, it was disappointing, so I was curious as to why.

But yeah, I don't like them either, so it's disappointing to me too. Too many heroes for me, give me a multiplayer game with character customization or 5 classes, but not 100 heroes, that drives me nuts.
