Play Overview
Paladins: Champions of the Realm (2017) is a free online shooting game, like Overwatch that lets you play as different heroes in the battles. It's set in a world combining fantasy and science fiction, including medieval-looking soldiers who use ranged weapons such as shotguns and assault rifles instead of swords.
You start by choosing a type of hero (Front Line, Damage, Support, and Flank) before heading into online shooting battles. It's a team game so players must rely on strategy, character knowledge, coordination, and collaboration to win. There is text and voice chat to communicate.
The main Paladins mode is two teams of 5 racing to capture the map's central capture point. Teams battle over a larger area adding more strategy to the game. There are battles where the first to get 40 kills wins.
