MAGE WARS
[TECH DEMO] MOBA | PC
Unreal Engine | C++
Description
The biggest challenge I had to face was Network Programming, and combine that with a a PvP Based Idea, the only word that comes to mind was the genre "MOBA". It could work in a strategy genre, but I prefered a more direct, action-oriented MOBA that could be 3rd Person. And then add a couple of spellcasters to the whole theme, there you go! Mage Wars!
In Mage Wars, you control one Frost Mage, while the other player controls another Frost Mage, and you both fight for total domination in the Ice Lands! Each of you equipped with basic projectile attacks that cost no mana, but both of you equipped with the powers of frost to CC, Kite and Damage your Enemy. Which combinations are you going to use to defeat your opponent? It's up to you!
