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.
