About Overwatch

What is overwatch?

Overwatch is a team-based shooter set on a near-future earth. Players must cooperative with others using a cast of various heroes, each with there own special powers, roles and abilities within a team. Teams are made of 6 heroes so its 6 Vs 6.


There are four character roles which are as follows:
  • Offense characters with high speed and attack but low defense
  • Defense characters meant to form choke points for trapping enemies
  • Support characters that provide buffs and debuffs for their allies and enemies respectively
  • Tank characters have tons of armor and hit points to withstand enemy attacks
Game modes so far include:

  1. Payload, one team must escort a vehicle to a delivery point before times runs out, while the other team attempts to stop them.
  2. Point Capture, one team is trying to capture points around the map, while the other team attempts to stop them.
More game modes intel will be coming out soon.  Not clear if this game is going to be on a free to play model either, waiting to see how this turns out also.
