A new, crazy Overwatch mode is exciting fans. Apparently, the shooter is also perfect for brutal brawling!
The community continues to create new game modes for Overwatch in the workshop. After we had already presented some highlights in the past weeks, like UNO, another hit was introduced in the last few days. The “OverFighter” mode turns Overwatch into a fighting game reminiscent of Tekken, Soul Calibur, or Mortal Kombat.
What is OverFighter? In OverFighter, the two players choose from one of 5 heroes and then engage in a solid semi-2D battle. Each character has different attacks and abilities that come into play during the duel. The following characters are available for selection:
- Doomfist
- Reinhardt
- Winston
- Genji
- Torbjörn
Special moves for some characters: Particularly cool is the fact that there are even some special attacks that require specific combinations of keys to trigger. For example, Doomfist can launch a fireball at the opponent using “Back + Jump + Primary Fire”.
Besides that, the mode has taken a lot from fighting games. Characters can all sprint, and there are even “Finishing Moves,” the so-called Fatality attacks, with which weak opponents can be instantly eliminated.
The author DarwinStreams has come up with some good ideas and is still working on the mode to add more abilities and fix bugs.
Here’s how you can play it yourself: To use the mode, simply enter the following code in the workshop: Z5XK2.
However, please note that the mode only works correctly with 2 players. If you want to start the game alone, it won’t work. So invite a friend to give him a proper (virtual) beating.
What do you think of this workshop mode in Overwatch? Is it cool what the community is making out of the new feature? Or are you waiting for new “official” content?
