RoI: New kid on the MOBA block

Postby PuЪLiㄷEиəℳy#1 » 26 Feb 2011, 10:48

So another MOBA has come to challenge the existing ones. What do you think about this?

Credits to an original thread in PlayDotA.

Rise of Immortals Site

Taken from the Introduction Page...
Rise of Immortals™ is an online, free-to-play PC game that expands on the hit Multiplayer Online Battle Arena (MOBA) genre with new, innovative features designed to appeal to both core and casual players.

Rise of Immortals is set in the world of Graxia, 300 years after the events of “Guardians of Graxia,”™ Petroglyph’s fantasy-based PC game released last year. Rise of Immortals features the popular action-strategy gameplay of traditional MOBA games, but adds enhanced socialization features, along with persistent character progression – a first for the MOBA genre. Instead of an account- based leveling system, players can advance their Immortals through a diverse, persistent skill tree, customizing and upgrading the characters to unlock unique abilities that persist from match to match.

In addition, Rise of Immortals features a social hub where players can show off their enhanced Immortals, chat, emote, browse leaderboards, shop, manage friend and guild lists and more. Players also have the option of taking their Immortals through cooperative Player versus Environment (PvE) scenarios to learn the game, try out new abilities, and earn persistent experience before jumping into Player versus Player (PvP) matches online.

Players can purchase items via the in-game store to further enhance their Immortals, including new Immortal skins and consumable items like in-game boosters and elixirs. Petroglyph plans to release new content on a regular basis, including additional Immortals, arenas, skins, sound packs, pets and more.

If they're called Immortals, then you can't kill them? D:

That's strange, insert url worked on the starter page. Even the image is not working although it worked in the fan arts section. This always happen when I do it through the phone.

Also an appeal to the site admins and moderators, can we have a section for RoI just like DotA, HoN, LoL, BC, and SC2 DotA?

Gameplay Video.

I am not really impressed from the game. Looks like an attempt to combine a MMO and an Action RTS, the result, as I see it, will have no balance whatsoever. But I will try it if I have the time, to figure that out myself.

It also doesn't have denying but perhaps its different. There are also these things called Relics that would allow your team to spawn megacreeps when destroyed.

More news here.
