Midjungard Launches On Steam December 21
Plus Infinity Studios has announced that their multiplayer PvP brawler Midjungard will be available for PCs just before Christmas.
Midjungard is a 3 on 3 brawler set in a fantasy world partly inspired by Tolkien and partly inspired by Norse mythology. Six players, two teams each, are dropped into an arena and set loose against each other. The goal is to win as many points as possible by eliminating members of the opposing team. You might assume that would make for a quick match if there are only three to track down, but characters will respawn back to life shortly after being killed.
So is there really a penalty for death? Yes, you still want to avoid it as you’re also collecting loot along the way, and if the enemy team fells you, you’ll lose your stuff. There are several items that will give you an advantage in battle, but none better than the UrHamar in the middle of each arena. Grab the UrHamar and become the super-strong Berserker — but those after you can still gain the upper hand through clever use of enhancement potions.
- Battle for survival in 3v3 matches set in a primal Tolkien-inspired pre-Viking world.
- Choose from three distinct classes to suit your playstyle.
- Capture the UrHamar to morph into the fourth avatar, the Berserker, for the ultimate advantage of superhuman strength.
- Collect powerful potions, weapons, and level-ups by scouring the map.
- Defeat enemy players to earn points and win the match.
- Fight with strategy as loot is lost with every death.
Midjungard will launch on PCs via Steam December 21, at a price of $14.99. PvE battles are planned to be added at a later time, at no extra cost.
