Paragon - new MOBA from EPIC

'Tis pretty nice.

Paid early access started today, will be free to play with open beta some time in summer. They're releasing new heroes every 3 weeks (13 so far in early access) which you don't pay for, you have paid skins and paid xp pots which means nothing as all that does is speed up skin and emotes unlock progression, the gameplay is really good so far with a more casual approach to MOBA and less of the teamplay annoyances which plague LoL/DOTA 2, I don't like much them much, but Paragon is more my thing.

Check it out, the graphics are brilliant and the heroes look great, it's a hell of alot of fun in this early state where you can find cards and build decks and progress their effects through the match giving the game great customisation options depending on the situation.

Did you go the $19.99 route? Also if you have not I suggest you play Smite, MOBA done extremely well (Third person)

Went the $60 package with a code to give to a friend which gives them the $20 package. I do like the look of SMITE but from the gameplay vids it's all flat terrain? There's no climbing up high to attack from above or hiding inside caverns below? That's what I like about Paragon, there's elevation in the map, great for getaways or ambushes.

Smite plays like a traditional MOBA but has several modes but in third person and without most of the micromanagement and in my personal view is a better play experience for noobs like me!

Paragon looks interesting, watched some youtube very pretty looking but the actual play area seems to lack any "personality" for want of a word. Gameplay looks your bog standard MOBA fayre though.

My moneys on Overwatch !

Yep, loving this game, too much fun, needs a health warning!

If anyone wants the Founders Pack which sells for around £15, all I ask for is £10. The Founders Pack gives you early access so you can play right now (it's paid early access right now, but free open beta in the summer), there's no wipes or resets ever, so what you have earned from now until later in the year when it releases is yours to keep, that means stats, unlocks, achievements etc.

So yeah, if you fancy a cool new MOBA with solid gameplay and top notch visuals, throw me that tenner and you have yourself PARAGON, if you find yourself enjoying the game, you can upgrade to challengers founders pack or masters founders pack in game (more perks).
