Each hero brings a unique set of skills and playstyle to the game. With a mix of MOBA and FPS, Deadlock aims to open up a new category in gaming. Bridging together two different genres will undoubtedly make it a very interesting game title for players. The game already has a rich depth in terms of heroes and their abilities. But what will be equally interesting is the heroes’ lores and their background coming into the game.
