As an expanded console version released in 2014, this title is a 3-on-3 action platformer blending MOBA and RTS strategy on 2D battlefields. You team up online or via split-screen, focusing on strategic combat where you customize and upgrade each character's skills to fit your playstyle. Its core loop involves fast-paced team fights, supported by drop-in matchmaking to minimize wait times between matches.
The game successfully merges the immediate, physical demands of a platformer with the strategic depth expected from a MOBA. Matches take place on 2D battlefields where movement, jumping, and positioning are as crucial as tactical ability usage. Success relies on coordinated team efforts to push lanes, destroy enemy structures, and ultimately defeat the opposing team.
The primary distinction lies in its presentation: it takes the complex, top-down strategic elements of a traditional MOBA and translates them into an accessible, side-scrolling 2D platforming environment. This shift in perspective and control scheme offers a distinct tactical challenge compared to its genre peers.
A key element of the experience involves character development. Before entering combat, players can invest in customizing their chosen hero. This system allows for deep personalization of abilities, ensuring that even players using the same character can develop distinct roles within their squad. Players can upgrade and customize each character's skills to suit their preferred approach to combat.
