We played Valve’s secret new shooter: Deadlock

Summary

Nutrition label

63% Informative

Deadlock is a 6 -on-6 shooter where your team of heroes attempts to dominate a map by slowly wearing down the opposing team and pushing them back.

You’re also leading an army of NPC grunts down four different lanes to destroy opposing team’s stationary defenses, a little like Dota 2 or other MOBA games.

Each match does get deadlier and deadlier as you unlock your heroes’ abilities and buy skills.

The current build lets anyone with a copy invite as many Steam friends as they like to give it a try.

It's an unusual way to release a game, but this is Valve we’re talking about — it’s an unusual company.

I haven’t played enough yet to even begin to tell if the game is well-balanced.
