A New Dark Fantasy MOBA Is Coming Soon On Steam - It's Inside

Do you like more action-packed MOBAs in the style of SMITE? Then the new Kingshunt might be interesting for you. You can try it soon.

What is Kingshunt? The game is officially known as an online multiplayer action game that is played from the third-person perspective and combines tower defense mechanics with hack'n'slash battles.

The trailer is very reminiscent of the MOBA SMITE, but with a much darker atmosphere. The focus is on PvP battles, in which two teams, each consisting of 5 players, fight each other. The video shows how it works:

Kingshunt mixes hack and slays with strategy.

What is special about the game? The developers want the fights to be action-packed but also tactical. You actively attack like in a Hack'n'Slay, but you have to coordinate your attacks. For example, it is important to see when the opponent takes cover to attack immediately. It is also necessary to use special abilities strategically since these significantly influence the outcome of a battle.

The fights should be based a bit on Soulslike games like Demon's Souls or Bloodborne. So you have to find where your enemies' weaknesses are and then take advantage of them. This should lead to a unique game, in which the fights are not just brutal action, as this video demonstrates:

How do I participate? Kingshunt Alpha begins on November 28. You can register for the test on the official website. Hopefully, you will be selected.

The MOBA should start in spring 2021 via Steam.

What else is interesting? Similar to SMITE, you can choose from multiple heroes, each with different abilities and play styles. You choose the character with whom you get along the best. You must use heroes on the team that complements each other based on their abilities.

Also, elements from tower defense games are used. In the first phase of the game, you build defense towers in strategically smart locations. In the second phase, it is necessary to guide the enemy so that he can be captured by these towers. This leads to a very strategic but also an action-oriented game.
