The MOBA has been stagnant for a while now. You got your LoL, Dota 2 and even HotS to a lesser extent. Everything else is just fighting for space, even though all of you should be playing Battlerite because I really like that game.
Nexon America is looking to shake up the MOBA genre with a unique new twist, in 2017. Combining the gameplay of a side-scrolling action platformer with the strategic, team-oriented gameplay found in a MOBA, Hyper Universe reimagines a popular genre to deliver action-oriented mayhem.
In Hyper Universe, players will take control of one of a multitude of battle-ready “Hypers” (Ughhh) and use their abilities to defeat the opposing team like in every MOBA. The distinctive playable characters, inspired by legendary icons in popular culture, fall into a wide set of both new and traditional MOBA roles to create a battlefield filled with lots of crazy techniques and exhibitions of skill.
Played using a two-handed keyboard control scheme like I’m playing on my DOS machine from 1990, Hyper Universe challenges players with five turrets to dominate and defend across multi-level, side-scrolling maps, as they dash and jump across the game to save the universe.
Hyper Universe could go either way, but it certinaly has my attention.
