![]() There's only one gladiator, but you get the point. The battles themselves are entertainingly over-the-top, but it's the experimentation and strategising that keeps me coming back. You construct a roster, ideally based around the major synergies of that season, and watch them battle your opponents' teams. Nevertheless, as someone who's also terminally bad at MOBAs, Teamfight has been a welcome excuse to explore the peripheries of Riot's most popular game. Phil: Fraser, you're going to get emails for calling LoL "rubbish". I love the constant reinvention of characters and mechanics, and building my loadout of heroes mid-battle, but the real appeal is how easy it is to just hang out and shoot the shit with friends while my diligent little warriors duke it out or die. Teamfight Tacticsįraser: TFT is one of the last autobattlers left standing-the product of a short-lived trend that no doubt benefited from sharing a launcher with the rubbish but immensely popular League of Legends. ![]() It's inherently cool, as you painstakingly plan out multiple takedowns, to hit a single button and watch the synchronised action play out. Shadows Tactics' coup de grace is Shadow Mode, which lets you queue up moves for your whole team to perform at the same time. This leads to myriad options within a single level, creating a playground of possibilities. Others are stuck to the ground, but bring traps and tricks to help clear a path. Some are nimble, able to navigate rooftops and tricky terrain.

It's the perfect cyberpunk setting: grimy, dank, and claustrophobic, soundtracked by the thrum of distant machines, and always, always raining. Josh Wolens, News Writer: Dragonfall is my favourite Shadowrun game, but Hong Kong's take on Kowloon Walled City is a triumph. It's a great magical cyberpunk yarn, but just as great as a story about cities, and how they-and the people living in them-can become victims of the machinations of the wealthy and powerful. Hong Kong, and especially the Walled City, are messy, chaotic and feel even more alive thanks to the magic that alters them in ways both subtle and significant. Robin Valentine, Print Editor: The excellent Shadowrun: Dragonfall has been in our list for a few years now, but I definitely prefer Hong Kong for its brilliantly evocative setting.įraser Brown, Online Editor: I've got a big soft spot for urban fantasy, and Shadowrun: Hong Kong does it a lot better than most. They're one of the best RPG parties around. Your whole crew is made of misfits, including a rat-spirit shaman who treats garbage like gourmet.
