Strategy or skill? what will you need more to play and win in Warlands?
When we talk to players interested in the future of Warlands, one of the most common questions is whether strategy or skill will be more important. And although it’s not a simple answer, we’ve decided to answer it. But, first we explain the reasons for our answer as it has a lot to do with the gameplay of the project.
What is Warlands
No, don’t worry, we are not going to tell you again all the original idea of our project, you can find it in any article in this blog, in our blog or in our youtube channel.
The question refers to what it brings as a game, what is in terms of gameplay this remunerative eSport project.
And the answer is in the mix of styles that it proposes, what we have called Warlands Royale. It is a mixture of styles in which we have taken the best of MOBAs with the best of Battle Royale.
That is to say, two teams of five players, without any advantage between them, fight on a map composed of five sectors, through which they can obtain special powers, by dominating three of the five sectors or by annihilating the opponent. All this while closing a strangulation ring on the map that causes damage (and kills) to whoever stays outside the free zone, until reaching a final area.
In this summary you can understand that, indeed, the player will necessarily have to coordinate with his team, but also, necessarily, he will have to have combat and game skills.
Strategy or skill?
Well, here is the answer: both factors are equally important.
It will be very difficult to win a game if you don’t have one of these two keys clear. A team, no matter how much skill you have, will find it very difficult to compete against a team that, by strategy, is capable of coordinating its movements, actions, taking areas, etc.
And on the other hand, no matter how well a team has planned its strategies and coordination, it will hardly be able to be competitive if the players are not capable of facing their rivals in battle with the necessary skills.
In short, we have sought a type of game that balances the concept of team competitiveness, coordination and strategy, along with personal skills. We think that in this way what you get is a really powerful gaming experience, which combines the best of both worlds: skill and combat games with strategy games.
The best way for you to understand this is that, while our multiplayer demo is coming, download and try our Alpha in single player, this way you can understand much better what we are talking about.
