Trans-Galactic Tournament – Champion Oddilus Gameplay

While the news over the past week has been about the server issues plaguing the otherwise rather great Street Fighter V, another versus game, although team-based, was released on PSN as well called Trans-Galactic Tournament.

Trans-Galactic Tournament is a Multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA), but unlike DOTA 2 or Heroes of the Storm, Trans-Galactic Tournament removes any lanes or minions and leaves it just to the players to have a hectic deathmatch in various game modes, such as Plunderball (Capture the Flag) and Conquest (King of the Hill).

David Bednar, one of the animators and writers for the game, explains it best;

Once your brain adjusts to the madness, you’ll notice how fast the combat really is. That’s because our game modes are way more FPS than MOBA. Plunderball is Capture the Flag, Conquest is like King of the Hill but everywhere, and Annihilation is straight up Deathmatch. Look, you can take the developer out of the 90’s LAN Party, but you can’t take the 90’s LAN Party out of the developer.

Lots of games focus on “last hits,” but we think a good first hit should be rewarded too. That’s why our maps have full-on instant death pits and champs that are tailor-made to push unsuspecting dupes to their doom. Be the Scar of the arena — push somebody off a cliff today!
