== Gameplay == | |||
Deadlock's gamepay is charcterized by it's unique combination of MOBA and hero shooter features. The game is played on a 4-lane, MOBA style [[Map]] between 2 teams of 6 players. The game is in the third-person perspective with a roster of numerous [[heroes]]. Similar to a MOBA, there are [[mechanics]] such as [[troopers]], a jungle area, layers of defenses, a [[Patron|core objective,]] and [[Items|item]] management. However, typical of a TPS, the game features third-person gunplay and omnidirectional movement. | |||
Furthermore, the game includes movement mechanics such as sliding and a unique [[Zip-lines|zip-line]] system. | |||
== Theme and Setting == | |||
The game has a fantasy theme and is set in the early 1900's United States. The game's map is a city based on the intended theme. Heroes are based on various tropes and ideas associated with the time while containing many unique contributions. | |||
== Lore == | |||
There is currently not much known about the lore of the game outside of in-game hero descriptions and a leaked graphic novel featuring [[Lady Geist]] and [[Infernus]]. Fantastic events are a deeply woven part of the game's lore and are often an explanation for heroes' abilities. | |||
