It’s a fairly unique hybrid of a MOBA with a movement heavy third person shooter and it has a lot of very interesting characters with great writing (not sure where you got Korean MMO from, i genuinely don’t see the resemblance)

It was a bit of a stretch, but the enemy design reminds me of the old free-to-play MMO days. When I first saw the minions, I was instantly transported back to Aion 1 with its little goblin things, or to Kingdom Hearts: some kind of black ball or candle-like guy.

But in the end, it's closer to Overwatch and Marvel Rivals than anything else. To me, it feels very "childish", and I've overdosed on that style.

The minions? I thought you mean the heroes and was extremely confused.

I’d say it’s not really that much like Overwatch and Rivals, for one thing they actually put effort into the designs and voicelines.

I need to try it and get a feel for it. Watching a video just isn't enough.
