ME_selection_05

I know what you’re thinking: “A MOBA that isn’t set in a fantasy theme? Bullschtack, Omali!” Personally I am still not convinced that this isn’t some hallucination brought on by the gas station sushi I ate just a few hours ago, but for the sake of staying true to reality, or for the laughs we’ll have when this sushi wears off, let’s just say that the press release is completely true. Bigpoint Games, best known for their UNITY has announced their upcoming MOBA game: Merc Elite. In Merc Elite, players will take the role of one of five classes and equip high tech weaponry in order to dominate their opponents. Merc Elite uses direct fire aiming and will require some strategic tactics to take on your opponents.

Bigpoint has boasted Merc Elite as the first ever military themed MOBA.

“A team of more than 40 people have developed our newest Unity Game,” says Jeff Lydell, Senior Producer at Bigpoint, “Merc Elite goes beyond standard free-to-play browser titles by employing stunning 3D graphics powered by Unity and delivering a flurry of PvP action that includes an array of high-tech weapons, cunning tactics and a variety of character classes, while ensuring fair gameplay with skill-based combat.”

Merc Elite is expected to launch this summer and take its place alongside Bigpoint’s other browser games.
