What is your background? MOBA or FPS?
What is your background? MOBA or FPS?
Just curious what the demographic here is like. The game seems to be appealing, at least for now, to both crowds. I am an FPS player whereas my friend is a ex-MOBA player and we usually struggle to find games we can enjoy equally. So far we are playing Deadlock a lot together though, and I am more hooked than I expected to be when I first realised this was primarily a MOBA.
If you started playing this game for a different reason feel free to share as well.

From fighting games (Tekken) and fps (Apex, Titanfall 2).
Didn't know this game was a moba before booting it up (I have never liked mobas)😅
So yeah, I was a bit sceptical in the beginning. However, given that Deadlock was a completely new IP, and it having a 3rd person movement shooter aspect to it. I decided to give it a go.
I'm glad I did, because Deadlock has become one of my favourite games this year.
The game wasn't on my radar either. I only played it because some of my old PlanetSide 2 outfit mates were running a 6v6 training night and invited me to join. They assured me I'd be fine because of my ability as an FPS player but they completely underestimated how little I knew about MOBAs (I didn't even know this game was a MOBA, I have basically never played the genre previously because I find it so uninteresting).
I got absolutely destroyed and thought about uninstalling but decided to give it another week of play by myself and put some time into learning the basics. I'm really glad I did, it has been unexpectedly enjoyable and something really different. I am a large scale shooter (PlanetSide, Battlefield, etc) player primarily and the state of that sub-genre is absolutely dire, so it has been so revitalising to actually find something fun which also feels like it has a future.
Oh hey it's the friend I play "some" Apex with.
