Six trailers show you the various characters you can play in the loot shooter. Their combat style and individual abilities are presented.
What playable characters will there be? The first trailer focuses on the tough fighter Gley.
Gley seems to spare no expense in battle. She sacrifices her own HP to switch to what is known as Frenzied Mode, in which she is practically unstoppable. She drains energy from her opponents to restore her own HP. In combat, she keeps her enemies at bay with firearms.
Another trailer introduces Viessa, who fights her opponents with icy attacks.
Viessa uses ice to freeze her opponents and slow them down for a certain period. She employs various attacks and abilities for this purpose. She can target the ice at individual enemies or unleash a large blizzard that explodes after a certain time, hitting many enemies at once.
The character Lepic brings plenty of action to the battlefield with his mechanical arm.
In battle, Lepic demonstrates how effective grenades can be against his enemies. Among other things, he can throw grenades that attract several enemies in the vicinity before they explode. Lepic creates further area damage with his ability “Overkill,” where he generates a kind of energy field that deals continuous damage.
Another trailer introduces Enzo, who proves himself not only to be a great fighter but also a team supporter.
Enzo uses his drones to inflict damage on enemies on the battlefield. This way, he can hold his own in combat at range. However, Enzo is also interesting as a support for the team. He can call supplies to the battlefield with his drones, providing extra ammunition, for example.
In another trailer, the healer Yujin is introduced as a good support for your team.
Yujin uses his skills and equipment to support his teammates. Among other things, he can throw serum bottles that refill the HP of the other players while also damaging enemies. He ensures that teammates receive healing, even if he is not present, with drones that follow other players, or he creates entire “healing zones” on the ground.
Finally, Esiemo is introduced, who attacks with explosive strikes.
On the battlefield, Esiemo installs bombs that explode shortly after being placed, dealing massive damage. He can also place multiple bombs and mines and ignite them simultaneously with his ability to inflict damage on multiple enemies at once.
With these characters, you can tackle the story mode as well as the strategic boss fights in the 4-player coop mode of the shooter. The First Descendant also has a lot to offer visually. You can find more really beautiful games here: 5 games that surprise with impressive graphics.
