Warlander

Warlander is an action-packed third-person online multiplayer game, with a unique style that mixes a medieval-inspired setting, amazing items and abilities… and… EVEN POWERFUL ROBOTS!

With intense competitive battles and epic castle siege warfare with up to 100 players, you must use the almighty powers of godlike warriors, clerics and mages, as well as siege weapons and catastrophic spells to control the battlefield.

To win, you must work as a team, defend your Keep, and tactically break into enemy strongholds to destroy their core!

Functions

• Innovative genre hybrid – Across its 2 Army Battle and 5 Army Battle game modes, Warlander combines the tactical team combat of a modern MOBA, the knock-out style of a Battle Royale, an even mix of 3rd person hack-and-slash and ranged combat, ​​and a touch of 4X-inspired strategic diplomacy – all within large battles with up to 100 players.
• Multi-team games – Features fast-paced action battles and smart decision-making where you must play the role of your squad, either by defending the castle and core with anti-siege weapons – roaming the battlefield to intercept the enemy, capturing turrets and firing powerful catapults – or by infiltrating the enemy Keeps with siege weapons and epic catastrophic spells. Defeating enemies, building units, and completing objectives will earn you Valor points that can be used to bring powerful versions of your characters into battle and help turn the tide of battle!
• Action-Driven Tactics – Maneuver and control the battlefield tactically by following the instructions laid out by your commander, control the spawn towers and use the available siege units to remove the enemy fortress layers. Gates, walls and bridges can be destroyed to create chokepoints or new routes into enemy territory, and alliances can be made or broken to speed up the fight.
• Power to play your way – Create an eclectic roster of deeply customized class-based characters, each with their own set of rarity-based and customizable gear, skills and talents, as well as emotes and dance moves. The choice is yours – build decks that are balanced, look to fill specific roles, or have multiple ways to play your favorite class – then bring them into battle and dominate your enemies!
