Nexon’s SuperVIVE is gearing up for an open beta in Korea and Japan later this year, and it’s looking pretty cool. Developed by Theorycraft Games, which has some big names from League of Legends, Valorant, and Overwatch, SuperVIVE is a top-down shooter with a battle royale twist.
So, what’s SuperVIVE all about? It’s a 40-player game where teams of four fight to be the last ones standing in a shrinking arena. You’ll explore different terrains, battle enemies, and level up to get better gear. There are over 14 unique characters to choose from, plus random monsters and changing environments, so every game feels new and different.
One thing that stands out is how familiar everything feels. The progression system is pretty straightforward, like in MOBA and battle royale games. You gather experience and equipment from monsters, chests, and supply drops. The controls are simple too: use WASD to move, space to jump and glide, and mouse clicks for attacks and abilities.
At the start of each match, you parachute onto the map and pick a landing spot. Teamwork is key as you level up, find items, and gain skills. The map has various biomes and terrains, allowing you to jump over cliffs and glide long distances. There’s also a train on the map for fast travel. Plus, you can claim bonfires as base camps to heal up and get shields.
Reviving teammates is also interesting. You can use revival beacons or death boxes to bring them back. There’s even a unique feature called vaults: solve rhythm-based puzzles to open them and get powerful gear.
The top-down view and fast-paced combat make the game exciting and engaging. Matches are pretty short, so there’s always action and quick decisions.
Overall, SuperVIVE mixes familiar elements from popular games into something new and easy to get into. The exciting combat and varied gameplay should keep players hooked. The game’s success will hinge on things like player engagement, good matchmaking, and smooth team coordination.
