Paragon PS4 Preview – Morbid Play

Paragon is still in it's early beta phase which means nothing at this point is final. There are some things that are unfinished or to be added but even at this early stage you can see that it has all the things to be great with some tweaking. For those unfamiliar with the MOBA genre (MOBA standing for Multiplayer Online Battle Arena) the fundamental elements are a map split into various lanes which are each dotted with structures. The players each control a powerful unit with unique abilities whose objective is to push forward with the weak AI controlled units to destroy these structures whilst battling against the enemy team who are trying to do the same. Traditionally MOBAs are played from a flat isometric viewpoint but Paragon plays more like a 3D 3rd person shooter. While it's not the first MOBA to be in 3rd person it does it in a unique way, focusing more on fast paced action and the ability to move freely on the map.
