Deadlock is that kind of game that people gonna watch for a little and will think it looks bad, but try it and it's one of the best multiplayer games that has comes out recently
@@julianojosoa2197 yes but still playtest and not everyone able to play it. The game will also be a lot different when it actually released to public since now it still in early development
Lots of doomers in the comments. Best game I've played in a long time. It's everything I wanted Overwatch to be but didn't know it. Hasn't even been announced and it's got a huge following already.
Technicaly its been announced already lol. But yea valve really turned around many of the public sentiment just by letting the gameplay speak for itself, why waste marketing money when your player do the marketing itself lol.
I really hate MOBAs.... However, I have been playing Deadlock since a little before they started allowing people to post about it, and I am absolutely addicted.
That was always what my complaint was with smite and why i was do hyped when i heard about deadlock, they just tilted the camera a little and called it a day lol
deadlock is pretty awesome and to think that they have only laid out the basic stuffs. Excited to see new heroes, strats from teams. name changes, hero model changes. I mean I have played dota for like 10 years and I know there are lots of stuffs valve did wrong with dota.
A MOBA for grownups. but, seriously, its good but not remotely ready for mainstream. but the bones and some of the muscle is there. i hope they dig more into the customization.
I don't believe shooting the souls gives you "bonus" souls. I believe it "confirms" the souls just so the enemy doesn't get them. if you let them burst in the air, you still get them, it just gives the enemy a chance to get them first
I've been playing dota since it was born as Warcraft 3 mods, Dota Allstars. Stopped playing in 2019 because i thought i am too old to keep up. Deadlock slapped me and said "No you are not!"
Don’t just use the most popular public build. Learn how to make one that works for you and your character, and one that gives you options for all the different things the game throws at you. Deck building and theory crafting a build is honestly just as fun as the jumping and shooting!
Best game of 2024 without a doubt Stop wanting everything similar to overwatch. This game is a proper fps unlike overwatch which has auto aim characters like moira and melee only characters
Overwatch style objectives will NEVER work on this game. The reviewer is treating this game as a Shooter when it is entirely a MOBA in 3rd person. The entire point of the game isn't shooting other players, it's Farming and Learning Macro. Itemization won't work at all with those objectives he mentions. Not even League can get away from the MOBA mechanics with Nexus Blitz
i think this dude doesnt get it. you already have a moba shooter, and you want it to have a payload and team deathmatch? the genre is saturated enough and you want another copy of overwatch? wym?
yeah deadlock was made to have a unique take on MOBA or HERO SHOOTER then he want it to be another hero shooter? hahaha i hope they have given the review to a much more OPEN TO MOBA REVIEWER not this MOBA hater cuz what i like to MOBA specially DOTA it gives you a FLEXIBLE GAMEPLAY meaning anything is possible.
The way they are distributing the keys via only invite from a person who has it is annoying. I used to play moba a while back ,would be refreshing to try out this style.
@@imfinishedgrinding638 IKR, this way actually gets a higher chance that you get the core players that will give feedback and genuine interest, rather than some smug who's in it for the bandwagon to then end up giving a negative "ReViEw" when they don't like it.
The moment to moment gameplay is top notch, the movement, shooting and kinesthetics almost everything you do is very satisfying, that said, I think this title's biggest issue is how much it leans into the more complicated aspects of the moba genre, I don't think they gel too well with the game.
So I actually been playing Deadlock the past few days for those that dont know you can get free access on steams community page just check for someone sending invites, The game is alright its not really special, when you play it you will begin to actually realize that most of the characters have copy paste powers from other games.. I play many MOBA's even some of the not so popular ones like Paladin's, Battlerite, RC etc. From a personal setting, it really is not all that and a bag of chips. Top game this year, not even close. Top MOBA of the year, yes. I just have that feeling once its released people are going to see what I notice and it will fall off the map as they drift back to DOTA and LOL. I wanted so bad to Love this game with the hype from everyone and my friends but I have to be honest here.. Why have we not got a game like this with LOL Characters, could you imagine how Scary Fiddlesticks would be comming at you jumping off a wall or something. Idk this MOBA Player can only hope someday they will stop making these overwatch clones, and make no mistake that is what this is. Overwatch with Smite undertones mixed with no aim/aim abilities, Again to me this game fell short of the type of hype I have witnessed, but if you havent played pretty much every MOBA that exist then Deadlock could easily become your favorite. Flame me all you want to guys but untill they remove the lightning rods and stop punishing the winning team then I dont think this game is going to be as good as everyone is being hyped to believe.
@@D3adCl0wn hasn't came out yet! Is invite only alpha but also outlived Concord and is consistently at the top of the Steam Charts. Right now it has more players than CoD, Helldivers 2, Rainbow six siege, Destiny 2 and Overwatch 2
If they just follow dota free to play with cosmetic monetization this game 100% wont fail. Deadlock has huge following already with 100k+ player even just in its alpha state.
It's already a success in early testing! And has already been consistently in the top 10 steam games player count without even being open to public yet.
Except this game has crisp character design and mechanics galore courtesy of Icefrog insane balancing famous in Dota 2. It's not a hero shooters clone and therefore not an Overwatch clone, it is a bonafide first of its kind 3rd person shooter Moba.
Nah, those games should've learned something from Deadlock. Those already died, while Deadlock legit on the top charts right now, with invite only access.
I don't really want anything from Valve. Unless they suddenly start making Platinum Games-like stylish action games with personality to semi-rival Hideki Kamiya's best work, that is.
@@d33pblu3 The thing is that this here MOBA looks SUPER-alpha. It feels like if TF2 wasn't actually released as a finished game in the Orange Box, but instead the community was simply let into the development of it. The environments, for example, look baren, unlike TF2's maps.
@@viewtiful1doubleokamihand253 That’s how DOTA 2 was made, it had a very similar invite scheme back in the day. The only difference was that dota 2 was known about while deadlock just kinda broke containment.
@@d33pblu3 I don’t like having to depend on other people for my entertainment. In general. And I utterly hate the idea of a game boggling down my single-player capabilities in favor of a multipleyer structure. It’s strictly a power fantasy for me.
Deadlock was a game that came out in 1996 by Accolade/Atari, it was a strategy game for windows. That will always be deadlock to me and not Valves new game.
@@SovettaParmetta You have just shown how little you know about these two titles. Two completely different genres, the only similarity is heroes who can use abilities. By the way, with your logic you can say that Overwatch is a copy of Dota 2, so Blizzard is the one who steals from Ice Frog in the end.

Nah, I'll pass. Not a game for me...
I really hate MOBAs.... However, I have been playing Deadlock since a little before they started allowing people to post about it, and I am absolutely addicted.
Cant wait for Deadlock 2.
The movement and map verticality is really something else. Never realized just how braindead the design of Smite was until now.
Different era of game design
That was always what my complaint was with smite and why i was do hyped when i heard about deadlock, they just tilted the camera a little and called it a day lol
@@rheawelsh4142they did a little bit more than just tilt the camera lol.
With a concurrent player number of 100k in closed alpha, this game is set to become the next big thing since PUBG.
deadlock is pretty awesome and to think that they have only laid out the basic stuffs. Excited to see new heroes, strats from teams. name changes, hero model changes. I mean I have played dota for like 10 years and I know there are lots of stuffs valve did wrong with dota.
This game is fantastic. I'm similar to this guy where I've tried MOBAs. I love the idea. But I just couldn't get into them. This one is different.
That Infernus roasted your soul, lol.
A MOBA for grownups. but, seriously, its good but not remotely ready for mainstream. but the bones and some of the muscle is there. i hope they dig more into the customization.
It's the Smite 2 killer
I don't believe shooting the souls gives you "bonus" souls. I believe it "confirms" the souls just so the enemy doesn't get them. if you let them burst in the air, you still get them, it just gives the enemy a chance to get them first
They need to change the lane’s name to Grochard.
How long do we expect matches to go for? One of things that's kept me from dipping into Mobas back was the big time commitment to a single match.
Solid gameplay, unique character designs, novel combination of mechanics? Sure! But does it have weekly story cutscenes? I rest my case. 🤣
First thing as a new player you're doing wrong is you have to pay the troll's toll
The boys are back in towwwwwn
I've been playing dota since it was born as Warcraft 3 mods, Dota Allstars. Stopped playing in 2019 because i thought i am too old to keep up.

I’m not a fan of third person games, but I’ll give it a try
I've had this in my Steam list for a couple of weeks. Maybe I'll try it out one day.
So I tried it... and I hated it. Mobas just aren't for me.
Looks cool but why does Abram’s remind me so much of Hellboy, give him right hand of doom, paint him red and shave the horns
He’s got the book of doom. He smacks you with it for his melee.
Best game of 2024 without a doubt

bro wanted to hate moba instead of reviewing the game
I think someone can made it tho if the modding tools get released later like in dota2.
My invite took 1 MONTH; but im finally in.
If you ever feel useless, just remember Mo has a shovel on his waist
I want to play this soo bad. I wish it was coming to console. 😮💨
I think with valve game there going to have an arcade mode (custom maps) wanna play payload, tdm ? There you go.
A friend of mines send it to me I haven't played it yet.
nice video!
Nobody asks how is Deadlock
If fentanyl is a game.
CS:GO 2 (5 seconds in to the video) surely is a real title for a real game.
Good stuff, Gaemstpo.
Is this available on consoles?
No, it's still in early alpha
The way they are distributing the keys via only invite from a person who has it is annoying. I used to play moba a while back ,would be refreshing to try out this style.
I agree to a point, but would be glad to share an invite.
Reddit is (mostly) your friend. Got my key there. r/DeadlockTheGame superthread. Super easy.
You fail to realize that another Moba Valve worked on, Dota 2, was also like this distributing keys to other players. It's gonna do fine.

Is it a video game?
No, it's a screensaver, move on.
No, this is just a promotion for an upcoming movie.
No, its an advertisement. Go buy it.

nah it probably will lol i play on a 1060
I play with 50-60fps on an RX 580 8g

so we can't comment on thar other video that's live... alright
it still looks too much like a MOBA for my liking. if I didn't have a hundred other games to be playing I might try it.
It looks like one because it literally is one?
Yeah, it's a moba.
csgo2?
Not gonna lie, this looks kinda bad.
Because it's in alpha, half the game is placeholder, even the gameplay isn't in its final form
@@somebodyanonymous5725 guess that explains it.
