In South Korea, publisher Nexon has introduced a new shooter. Project D is a third-person game featuring a destructible environment and 8 unique heroes. The gameplay is reminiscent of Valorant, but with more dynamism and better graphics. Check out what awaits you in the game here on MeinMMO.
What is Project D? Project D comes from the Korean publisher Nexon, who were also responsible for the shooter Sudden Attack, which was extremely popular in Korea.
With Project D, they are venturing into a team-oriented, tactical third-person shooter. You get to choose between 8 unique heroes, referred to as agents. The gameplay seems to correspond with tactical shooters like Counter Strike or Valorant, based on the material released so far.
So, two teams of 5 players each try to eliminate the enemy or complete a mission objective, such as defusing a bomb. Between rounds, you can buy new equipment based on your performance.
Tactical third-person shooter like Valorant with heroes and a lot of pace
What are the features of Project D? First, it’s noticeable that Project D is played in third-person. You see your agent from a slightly behind angle. Only during sniper shots does the game switch to first-person perspective.
The next highlight is the beautiful graphics. They impress with vibrant colors, details, well-executed animations, and nice effects. Compared to the rather subdued CS:GO and the comic-like Valorant, this is a refreshing change. Project D can indeed be described as CS:GO or Valorant in a stylish version.
Another feature of Project D is the destructible environment. If you equip special ammunition, you can spectacularly blast walls, vehicles, and various other objects in the game world to smithereens. Even heavily armored battle suits earned in-game can quickly be shredded.
Also cool: Project D seems to play very dynamically and quickly. Your heroes are true acrobats who can effortlessly climb walls or skillfully glide over obstacles. Parkour elements are thus firmly embedded in the gameplay and reward a fast, dynamic playstyle.
What can the heroes do? Project D offers 8 different heroes. They all have different skills. Some are introduced in the gameplay video. Among them are a scout who reveals enemies to the team, a grumpy sniper, and a punk with dyed hair who can steal money from dead opponents for the shop between rounds.
The heroes are all designed to be very diverse and have their own visual style.
When is the game coming out? Currently, Project D is still in the alpha testing phase. Until November 30, you can register as a tester on the Project D homepage. If selected, you can play the game from December 2 to December 15.
A release date is not known yet, but there is to be a global launch. Project D will initially only be available on PC. Information regarding a console launch is not currently known.
