A new co-op game called Project F4E has been announced on Steam. It will mix MMORPGs, MOBAs, and Roguelites to create a game that promises thousands of build possibilities and thousands of hours of gameplay. We at MeinMMO will introduce it to you in more detail.
What kind of game is it? In Project F4E, you complete dungeons and bosses together with other players in co-op. For each mission, you choose a hero from many, all of whom have different abilities that you need to level up.
You play in isometric perspective like in LoL. It also visually resembles the MOBA.
- You use abilities with Q, W, E, and R.
- With the different heroes, various abilities, and equipment that you can earn, there are supposed to be “thousands of builds”.
- The enhancements are supposed to be permanent for the respective hero.
- The dungeons will be randomly generated, which should lead to a high replay value.
- The missions are supposed to be “alive”, and allies and enemies will have their own agendas that can change over the course of the game.
Will there be PvP? Yes. Although the developers talk about the “future of friendly co-op games”, there is at least one mode where you play simultaneously with another group. In this mode, bosses will give you points, and whoever reaches 100 points first wins the match.
You can get a first glimpse of the idea and gameplay of Project F4E in this trailer:
Game hosts first playtests, reminiscent of Project V by former Riot developers
In what state is the game? Currently, Project F4E is in a pre-alpha stage. However, there were the first playtests in February. You can apply for future tests on Steam (via Steam).
Who is developing the game? Project F4E is being developed by BetaDwarf, an indie developer who has already released the co-op games FORCED: Slightly Better Edition (74% positive reviews on Steam) and Minion Masters (91% positive reviews on Steam).
When will Project F4E be released? No release date has been stated yet. There is also no statement regarding the future payment model.
Haven’t you recently written about a similar game? Yes. Project V follows a very similar model where you hunt through dungeons with different heroes in isometric perspective.
The game is being developed by former developers from Riot Games (LoL, Valorant) and aims to start the first gameplay tests in March.
