A new game is set to shake up the multiplayer world as Vela Games prepares for the launch of Evercore Heroes. The competitive PvE game sees four teams of four players facing off against hordes of AI-controlled enemies in a race to be the first to secure resources, complete objectives, and defeat bosses. The unique twist is that all four teams are playing simultaneously on the same map, making for a fast-paced and thrilling experience.
The Gameplay
Each player selects one of the 14 unique heroes, falling into the roles of damage, tank, or support. The game is designed to reward players for exploring the map and taking risks in order to level up their characters and gain an advantage over their opponents. Players have the freedom to choose their own path to victory, whether that’s capturing objectives, killing minibosses, or simply taking out other players. As objectives are completed by one team, they are counted for all teams, so players must decide whether it’s worth racing against other teams for bigger rewards or securing smaller victories on the way to the final boss fight.
Quick Matches
The matches themselves are surprisingly quick, with most rounds lasting around 5 to 18 minutes. The speed of the game encourages players to get one more match in before they stop playing and is designed to keep every round engaging and competitive. There’s very little downtime between rounds, so players are never left waiting for a new game to start.
The Learning Curve
One downside of the game is that it has a steep learning curve. With 14 characters to choose from, all with their own unique abilities and play styles, it can take some time to understand how each of them works and how they best interact with each other. However, this depth and nuance is also what makes the game interesting and engaging in the long term.
The Narrative
Vela Games has put a lot of effort into crafting a narrative world in which Evercore Heroes takes place. Each hero has a backstory and personality, and there’s a lot of lore and history baked into the world. While this wasn’t apparent in the preview, it could be a big draw for players looking for more than just a multiplayer game. The characters are also designed to be visually appealing, with a mix of adorable, funny, and sexy characters that are sure to inspire fan art.
The Launch
Evercore Heroes is set to launch sometime this year, exclusively on PC. While it may not be instantly clear how much fun the game is from the outside, those who take the time to learn the game and explore its world are likely to find a lively and engaging multiplayer experience. With its combination of PvE gameplay and PvP competition, Evercore Heroes is a unique and exciting addition to the crowded world of multiplayer games.
