I got invited to the beta, which starts on Thursday (you had to sign up for a chance of an invitation). I've never played a MOBA before but looking forward to trying it out. Anyone else going to be playing the beta?

Having played an hour or two of the beta I don't think it's really my cup of tea, but it looks good and runs well so it should do nicely if this kind of game floats your boat. I played a couple of online matches where it found a game immediately, but when I tried to find a match after those games, it took several minutes and showed no signs of getting anywhere so I gave up. Hopefully this won't be an issue when the full game launches and there are more people playing it.

Okay, so the game is going to be released this September to the public. Trailer below.

It's available now, guys. The free-to-play MOBA game is available now to download from eShop, and can be played without Nintendo Switch Online subscription.

@Azooooz oh for real? I thought it didn't come out unit next month... thats great news. I was in the beta and had a blast, and then got an "early access" key a couple weeks ago only to find out it wasn't really early access and they closed the servers.

Coming from Dota2 I just wrecked everybody in this game lol. I was like 90% winrate and MVP about 80% of the time. Really looking forward to stomping all the new players while it lasts, but then Im looking forward to finally getting some competitive games when ranked calibration starts to work.

Can't play because of "unstable network connection". Ping in settings shows ~50-70ms but it's not enough to play with others. Only with bots. Meh.

@misanthrope For real. I'm downloading it right now as we speak.

Decent game. I prefer the FPS style of Paladins, but if youโ€™re into MOBAโ€™s, youโ€™ll probably enjoy this.

Just actually found out about this today. I have been wanting a "proper" MOBA to come to consoles for awhile. The only MOBA I really played was Heroes of the Storm and before I could try others my PC died and was hoping that one like it would come to console (or even Heores itself). I tried Smite awhile back but honestly didnt like the third person view preferring the more traditional top down view. Hopefully Arena can scratch that itch for me.

Ok so after a few matches I will agree this game is done really well and scratched that MOBA itch for me. Really fun game and I like how there's 1v1, 3v3 and then the standard 5v5. So far I am liking the Markemen class especially Yon I think his name is. There is alot of depth with this game too with the gear and customization as well

Only question I have right now, can you only play 3v3 and 5v5 with people on your friends list? I tried to play that but when I select it it says no friends on right now.

@Tasuki you only played 1v1? No, you can solo queue for 3v3 & 5v5.. not sure what screen you're seeing, I've spent all my time playing 5v5... maybe it's a screen asking if you want to add friends before you choose to queue solo?

Seems pretty good. Only playing the 3vs3 games at the moment on my lunch hour but they are very quick which is nice. Slower than I remember when I played it on mobile but maybe that's just me, played a lot of HotS so maybe I used to a faster MOBA. Pretty good though.

I'll be playing this game, since I'm an occasional MOBA player. I'll be giving my review about the game and tell you whether to download it or not.

@macapple So are you able to play 3v3 without friends? Cause when I try I get a message saying that I don't know any friends.

@Tasuki Yes that screen comes up but you just press + and it joined the queue.

@Tasuki Valhein (the glaive shooting cowboy) can be killed easily with a tanky melee hero. Lu Bu is your good choice.
