Unites developers, Tencent Games, hit the mark with keeping everything easy to navigate. Once you complete the tutorial, you are presented with five Pokémon to choose from before getting sent to the game’s main lobby screen. When you first start moving your Pokémon (which is Pikachu in the tutorial), you realize that the game is not nearly as complex as other popular MOBAs - a good sign if you’re trying to build a player base. Next, you’re set off into an obligatory tutorial. After you create your account, you are taken to what is essentially a character creation screen for your trainer. What Unite gets right from the get-go is the simplicity of getting started. So, you need to level up, collect points, and hash it out to score as many as possible and earn juicy wins. Instead of destroying structures, you have goals to score. What makes Unite different from other MOBAs is it doesn’t follow the cookie-cutter recipe.
Consisting mainly of quick 10-minute battles packed to the brim with tense moments, it is no surprise that the game already exceeded 9 million downloads globally. Pokémon Unite is an entertaining and surprisingly difficult-to-put-down MOBA. But before you jump to conclusions, you should give it a try. It’s strange, I know - a franchise that followed such an iconic formula since 1996, opting to create a MOBA. The game, which was expected to follow the franchise’s standard formula, is a multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA). AMMAN - July 21 was a strange day for Pokémon fans, what with the release of the latest game in the franchise, Pokémon Unite.
