When Space Combat Games Are Also MOBA Games

The world does not need any more MOBA (League of Legends, DOTA 2) games, thanks. The ones we've got are more than enough for that crowd.

What we do need more of, though, are space combat games, and if they've got to try and bring something fresh to the MOBA genre to do it, then so be it.

This is GoD Factory: Wingmen, an unfortunate name for a very promising-looking game.

In terms of structure, it's all MOBA. You construct your own "character" (in this case, a starfighter), team up and try to destroy the other team's carrier, all the while protecting your own.

In terms of gameplay, though, it couldn't be further from the clickfest LoL or DOTA fans are used to. GoD is a space shooter, and a reasonably serious one at that, going the "realistic" route in that it takes zero-gravity, drift and alignment into account.

Developed by Nine Dots Studio, it's currently up for voting on Steam Greenlight.
