Described as an “Action MOBA with a unique tag system”, players will be able to swap between two characters.
Master X Master is a multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) from NCSoft, featuring popular characters from their lineup of NCSoft games.
NCSoft released two new Master X Master videos today, detailing gameplay in English and introducing Taejin, the first of the game's 30 available masters to be highlighted. Master X Master is different from traditional MOBAs, in that you have direct control over your character at all times. You also choose two masters, rather than one, at the beginning of each match, which you can then switch between at will. Each master will require you to pick skills and weapons before entering the match.
Game modes include the traditional 5v5 'lane push' mode, a 3v3 arena deathmatch mode, and various mini-games.
The character introduced today, Taejin, is a 'well-rounded, mid-range fighter.' His weapon fires 'medium range, quick succession projectiles' that can be modified for better range, increased damage, or 'decreased overheat.' Each hit with his basic attack regenerates a small amount of stamina. Should his gun overheat, the final shot will stun his target, allowing him to survive while his weapon is out of order.
