What sets Champions Online apart from other superhero-based MMO's and where do you see Champion Online's strengths?
Champions Online is leaps and bounds superior to anything else in terms of avatar customization. Our character creator is simply incredible, allowing players to choose from billions of costume combinations; colour selection, animation stances and facial expressions. Our Powers customization system allows you to select the colour and emanation point for Powers, and our weapon replace system allows you to swap out different types of swords and guns which affect their look and functionality. It's going to be a hard act to follow.
In terms of combat, we've definitely got more of an action-oriented system that simulates the superhero comic genre well. There's not a lot of sitting around waiting for long recharge times, just plenty of focus on movement, action and reaction. More powerful enemies have behaviours you have to learn and react to instead of just passively hoping your defences are high enough to survive an attack.
We've also got a lot of different, interesting environments in Champions Online. While you have the futuristic Millennium City as one of the game's superhero hubs, the action is global. From dealing with insidious evil forces gathering on the tropics of Monster Island to helping the refugees of a civil war brewing in the underwater realm of Lemuria, the game features incredibly detailed and immersive environments.
