Deadlock is awesome. I'm in the alpha and I've been totally hooked on it. It's the first multiplayer FPS game that my friend group and I have been excited about in probably a decade.
If the reddit rumors are believed to be true, the former leads of DotA (Icefrog?) and TF2 (Robin Walker) are heavily involved in it's development.
- xnorswap 2y agoIsn't deadlock just Valve's take on Valorant? It will need to do something very fresh if it wants to compete. Valorant felt extremely fresh and slick compared to both CSGO and Overwatch while fitting nicely inbetween. They brought innovation and UX improvements to the format that even CSGO ended up copying after it had been resting on it's laurels for too long.
- FemmeAndroid 2y agoDeadlock is quite different to Valorant in key ways. Rather than Valorsnt, which is essentially Counterstrike with hero powers. deadlock is Valorant plus Dota2. There are creeps and base management and extensive items. I certainly think Deadlocks ui is unfinished, but the gameplay is certainly something that hasn't been done super well. I don't love deadlock yet but haven't played it much. Plus, my opinion means nothing, I thought Artifact was a great game.
- paulmd 2y agoSo, just Super Monday Night Combat again? ;) (That’s not a bad thing but first-person MOBAs have fallen from favor a bit… which I suppose does leave a market gap.)
- boredtofears 2y agoValorant just felt like CS to me. Hated it for all the same reasons I dislike CS. Deadlock is more like a moba shooter.
