Sneak Peek at Combat

Ship of Heroes is a new MMORPG that combines the best features of hero games and space games. Ship of Heroes takes place in a giant spaceship traveling from planet to planet called the FHS Justice. This video illustrates the first combat scenes that we have shown: a short combat sequence featuring a signature NPC hero named Meltdown who has fire-themed powers. Meltdown is a Devastator, a ranged damage and buff class in Ship of Heroes. In this combat sequence Meltdown uses a self-buff, a ranged location AoE attack, a ranged targeted AoE attack, a single-target ranged attack, a shorter-range cone attack, and an AoE heal. The Nagdellian enemies use multiple ranged attacks, and their lieutenant also has the power to call for reinforcements. While all of the powers, animations and special effects shown in the video are preliminary, they do provide insight into the current state of development and the intended art style of Ship of Heroes. AI for the civilian NPCs and for the enemies in the video has been coded by the devs from Ship of Heroes.

Ship of Heroes is an MMORPG being developed in the Unreal 4 engine, and is expected to enter Alpha in 2018. The Kickstarter begins April 4, 2017. Come visit our site at https://www.shipofheroes.com to learn more.
