The game is largely built around multiplayer matches between two teams of five, across a variety of maps and game modes. Maps are specifically designed for specific game modes, instead of each map having to be suitable for all game modes.Īlongside the substantial multiplayer portion, there is also a pseudo-campaign mode. Each character has their own medium-length single-player mission, which acts as a tutorial for their abilities, as well as providing each character with some playable backstory. All post-launch characters also come with their own mission. Players can also play single-player bot matches offline, as well custom online matches with a combination of players and bots. The complexity of the bot AI can be altered, allowing players to change bot matches from simple ability practice to games mimicking high-level play.Īll characters have some degree of customization, consisting of skins, weapon recolours, emotes and voice lines. All characters are available immediately, but cosmetic items have to be purchased with credits. 50 credits are granted every time the player levels up, and prices of cosmetic items range from 50 to 500 credits. Operators Main article: Duelyst/Operators The game is continuously supported with new characters, maps and cosmetic items. The base game features 30 operators across several factions. You can head over to the Duelyst Kickstarter for more information on the game, its funding period lasts until April 9th.Each operator is designed to play uniquely, with a kit comprised of a weapon, abilities and an ultimate ability. If this was not enough to convince you of the awesomeness and beauty of Duelyst, there is also a reward if you donate $15, or more, which gives you a Shibe Skin for your Songhai General. It just feels like you are attending a match between two factions in a faraway fantasy land. The subtle grid lets you know where you can place your squad members, but it doesn’t distract from the landscape. From dry deserts to icy plains, it all looks like a board game come to life. The game itself is more pixelated with your squad placed on the board as little sprites, but the different kind of factions and the landscaped still come out beautifully. The bright colors and contrast give it just the bit of magic that it needs. The art features some beautifully sculpted worlds, mixing fantasy and sci-fi, by placing immense structures and cities floating high up above the ground. The massive horns make it look like it has come out of hell itself.Īnother thing Duelyst promises is a gorgeous and rich landscape and judging from the concept art, that is definitely going to be the case. The Abyssian general is a majestic beast a creature with a bull’s body, a lizard’s tail and a bird’s hind legs. Death will be upon every enemy he will encounter, that’s for sure. Next up is the Vetruvian Empire with a general who’s a combination between a robot and the grim reaper, with his skull-like face. Her appearance reminds of an evil mage, wanting to destroy the world with her dark spells. The Sharian Host have a real femme fatale as their bloodborn general, a sort of poisonous witch you don’t want to mess with. A lion as their symbol makes clear how strong and loyal these knights are. They aren’t afraid to face their enemies, roaring with strength. Next to that there is the faction of the Lyonar Kingdom, great knights, fighting like lions in the heat of battle. Sharp blades are their weapons, with which any enemy can be sliced into pieces. They find their strength from inner peace, but they are deadly as skillful ninjas when push comes to shove. There is the Songhai Empire, which seems to be some kind of ancient Chinese faction. There are different factions in the game at launch there will be 5, which all come with their own style. Now we know what kind of game we are looking at, let’s focus on the artwork. While playing the game you will collect upgrades and spells to make your squad better and you’ll have to use tactics and outsmart your opponents to win the game. You control a squad in short 1v1 match, where you have to defeat the opponents general. It started as a tabletop game amongst friends, but it is being built into a digital game. Isn’t it amazing? It’s from a tactical turn-based strategy game called Duelyst, by Counterplay games.ĭuelyst is made by veteran developers and creators of Diablo III, Rogue Legacy and the Ratchet & Clank series. Hey you, just stop for a minute and look at this artwork.
