Thor meets Amaterasu
What does the gameplay in DKO look like? You fight in various arenas, similar to MultiVersus or Super Smash Bros.. You have access to the modes 3v3, 2v2, and 1v1.
The arenas each have their own characteristics. One gradually collapses, while in another you must watch out for deadly traps.
As playable characters, there are ten different “gods” to choose from, each with their own unique abilities:
- Ymir
- Amaterasu
- Arthur
- Athena
- Hercules
- Izanami
- Sol
- Susano
- Thor
- Thanatos
However, in the standard edition of the game, only 4 gods are initially playable. Additional characters are unlocked through the so-called god coins. But you can earn all characters through in-game progression without spending real money.
The developers also announce regular updates with new gods, arenas, skins, and game modes.
