The highly anticipated release of Homeworld 3 Multiplayer brings both comforting nostalgia and exciting innovations to real-time space battles. Now fans have the opportunity to compete against one another in battles where powerful motherships command fleets, in warfare.
Developer Blackbird Interactive is striving to innovate with their War Games feature. In this mode teams of up to three players collaborate to achieve objectives, on maps. Their fleets progress by acquiring artifact upgrades, which offer bonuses that can change tactics significantly.
Revolutionary Roguelike Elements
In War Games there are elements of gameplay that add variety to each match. Players need to explore the map to find artifacts that provide upgrades adjusting their fleets as needed. The objectives range from destroying targets, to escorting missions. Working together to create strategies, against tough enemies leads to exciting cooperative gameplay experiences.
While Homeworld 3 Multiplayer starts simply, its future looks bright. Blackbird commits to providing continuous War Games updates as player levels increase. The addition of support is expected to prolong the games lifespan. If the post release updates maintain the level of creativity seen at launch Homeworld 3 Multiplayer could potentially achieve success, in strategic space combat, among players.
