Deadlock, the first truly new game from Valve in years, reminds us of a lot of other games... in a good way. We tried the early development build that’s now being shared widely.
It’s been nearly five years since Valve announced a truly new game — and counting. Valve has still not announced Deadlock, its new hero shooter that takes cues from Overwatch, Dota 2, Team Fortress 2 and more. But that hasn’t stopped nearly 20,000 people from trying the game, including me. And I’m not under NDA. I have signed no contracts, made no verbal agreements; I haven’t even clicked through a EULA. Earlier today, I received a no-strings-attached invite to play Deadlock on Steam.
Each match does get deadlier and deadlier as you unlock your heroes’ abilities and buy skills, many of which give you more damage per second. Others provide life steal, shielding, and more. Every character also has strong and light melee attacks, and you can parry an incoming melee attack to stun your opponent. It help that there are a lot of ways to dodge enemy bullets and traverse the map: you can slide, dash, air dash, dash jump, double jump, and mantle up to ledges.
