From Zero to Hero, a Revolution in Hero Shooters?

Of course, I had many, many unfounded doubts about agreement. When I first saw this I thought: Fuck Sony, right? A “hero shooter”? Wow, another game that wants to ride the wave of fame achieved by spectacular games like Overwatch or valiantWhat a bummer… But hey, I have to say that after a weekend of beta testing, my low expectations for Concord may have been raised and changed to “What if, what if?”

Concord, the industry’s latest attempt to get us hooked on another hero shooter. Will it be the next Valorant or will it remain in development? We’re going to break it down for those of you who haven’t had a chance to enjoy this beta.

Amazing graphics, but don’t be fooled

As soon as you enter, agreement It’s visually striking. Isn’t it Unreal Engine 5 in all its glory, but that’s no small feat either. They went for a semi-realistic atmosphere, which is pretty cool. It’s as if Cyberpunk And Apex We would, but without the bugs of the first one (for now). The characters have designs that are hard to believe, with details that make you drool when you look at the screen. And the maps, my god, are like a walk through the future, only with more explosions. Of course, don’t expect the graphical revolution of the century, which is not Crisis of its time.

While the maps are varied, we saw very little variety, let’s remember this is a beta so there should be much more in the final game.

Gameplay: Same as always, but with more sauce

Okay, yes, that’s true. another hero shooterBut wait, before you yawn, this one is funny and could be the excuse that makes the difference compared to your competitors:

• No automatic regeneration: You’re either looking for health packs or palm trees. It gives it a strategic feel, which is cool. No more hiding behind a box and waiting for the dizziness to pass.
• Double and triple jump.: Get ready for matches that feel like Street Fighter in the air. You’ll feel like you have super powers, but with more flying.
• Skills that are amazing: There’s a guy who can see through smoke. Also reloads when changing weapons. Come on, every character is like a new toy that you want to try right away.

The fight is crazy, faster than I ask for the bill when it’s my turn to pay. And once you get the hang of it, you’ll feel like a ninja with a machine gun.

Game modes: few, but good

At the moment there are only two modes: classic All against all and one about collecting trophies, which is essentially “Murder confirmed” with a different name. Not very original, but they deliver. TDM is the same as always, but the trophy mode has its own charm. It’s like a game of tag, but with more headshots.

Let’s hope they come up with something better for launch, otherwise we’ll be bored as hell. A competitive mode would be nice, or something with other goals than just shooting each other. Oh well, if I just want to get frags, that’s what I’ll do. Counter.

Feels like you’re riding on butter, but fun.

The movement is… peculiar. At first you’ll feel like a duck on a skating rink, but you’ll quickly get the hang of it. Once you get the hang of it, you feel like Spiderman with an AK-47. The jumping is amazing, allowing you to move around the map as if you were Sonic posted.

Sure, the aim assist is a bit outdated, especially on PC. It’s like the game wants to play for you. We’ll have to see if they fix it, otherwise we’ll get tired of getting killed without even knowing where.

Concord shouts: “Spend money on skins!”

Yes, Concord is screaming “Spend your money on skins!” for the fourth corner. Right now It’s just cosmeticsbut we will be on guard if they go too far with microtransactions. You know how it goes: you start by buying a small dance, and end up mortgaging your house for a legendary skin. The free-to-play model looks good, but we’ll see if they eventually add pay-to-win stuff. For now, they’re keeping the aesthetics, and we’ll be left with a fly behind our ear. We already know these tricks, right?

Wild Pros and Cons

conclusions

Let’s get a look, agreement It won’t revolutionize the genre, but it doesn’t need to. It’s fun, addictive, and has the potential to become a new vice for many. Will it be able to steal players from the heavyweights? That remains to be seen, but it certainly doesn’t have ambitions. The game has its own highlights and shadows. On the one hand, it’s fresh, fun, and more engaging than a Netflix series. On the other, it has some work to do, and we don’t know how it will evolve with updates.

If you’re a fan of shooters, give it a chance. It’s like a blind date: you might fall in love or run away, but you’ll never get bored. And if you don’t like it, it’s okay, you can always go back to your 800 hours CS:GO.
