Almost all gamers of this era have either played or heard about Riot Game’s League of Legends once in their life. Referred by gamers as League, it is a 2009 multiplayer online battle arena video game developed by Riot Games. Even after 12 years of its release, it is still one of the most popular and trending video games out there. And so are its characters, and hence Riot Games have come up with a new League of Legends-based game – Project L.
Project L Gameplay Reveal
Riot Games have revealed a heck of lot of gameplay details of their new game Project L. The gameplay video showcased some champions from League of Legends, including Ahri and Darius. The Project L’s dev, though, focused the most on a singular character’s kit Ekko. Ekko will also possess time manipulation abilities, as well as a forward-moving slash called Chrono Strike.
Chrono strike generates an after-image that players can rewind to. This is particularly useful for stacking combos and keeping opponents guessing their next location. His ranged attack is called Time Winder which is a bomb-like attack that slows opponents for a few seconds. Ekko’s entire kit is quite fast-paced and might require you to have dexterous fingers and quick reaction times.
Developers revealed that their goal was to create easy-to-learn combat kits, but with an additional element of difficult-to-master. They also implemented netcode, assuring players that they were working on creating a seamless combat experience. Devs will also use Riot Direct for Project L, which is an internal system that minimizes lag for League of Legends.
About Project L
- In this era of AR and VR gaming, 3D games are like the basic necessity of gamers. But here comes Riot Games with a 2D fighting game set in Runeterra called Project L. The thing is that even after being in 2D it promises certain innovations in terms of the combat systems. It features certain places and characters from League of Legends and plays out like a street fighter game.
- The game has become much faster now from the previous gameplay reveals and is being called “an assist-based fighter.” You can select a team of two characters and fight while only controlling one at a time. But you can switch characters mid-combo, as well as call in your partner for assist attacks during gameplay.
According to Tom Cannon, the game is still in the works and might release in the second half of 2022. The graphics of the game don’t look very appealing as of now; after all, it’s a 2D game. But this game is not about graphics and focuses largely on combat and quick action game. So, if you just want to hit those buttons and smack opponents down without any context or story, this game might be for you.
