Game Description:
GUNDAM EVOLUTION is a free-to-play team-based first-person shooter featuring 6v6 PvP combat. The game will offer three objective-based game modes: Point Capture, Domination and Destruction. Each game mode presents a unique set of challenges that will require teams to craft and execute formidable offensive and defensive strategies to emerge victorious.
Each playable unit in GUNDAM EVOLUTION possesses its own unique combination of offensive, defensive and/or supportive skills capable of swinging the tides of battle. The starting roster of playable characters will feature 12 units spanning the Gundam canon, including the classic RX-78-2 GUNDAM and the iconic ASW-G-08 GUNDAM BARBATOS. Additional mobile suits and customizable items can be unlocked in two ways: Capital Points (CP), which are accumulated in-game through gameplay, or EVO Coins, which will be available for real-world purchase.
When you first play Shatterline you feel like you’ve seen the elements of this before, people have been calling out the fast paced shooter focused gameplay of Call of Duty black ops 4, the impactful abilities of Valorant, the hints of Overwatch’s user interface, so on and so on.Â
So why has Shatterline got youtubers like bigfry excited, simply this game doesn’t try to reinvent the wheel with crazy new mechanics, it doubles down on the stuff we love in an arcade shooter but brings a high level of polish not seen in indie produced free to play games.
So with that said let’s get into the new info on early access.
Shatterline has been in and out of multi day Playtests, however Frag Lab have now announced Shatterline will be going into early access. This will mean continuous uptime, allowing everyone to finally hop in and try it out. This will also result in a progress wipe, however they have promised this will be the final progress wipe moving forward which is awesome.Â
Personally, I’m cautiously optimistic. The game is enjoyable and fills a niche in the free to play market, however I need more hands on time to really see if its worth playing this over Valorant, Apex and so on.
Overall Shatterline seems like a great game, but time will tell if it will be worth playing in the long term. For when you can next play it, Shatterline will launch into early access on the 8th of September
