Leveling up in Battleborn is also significantly different, and while you do progress in level, it's function is quite unique compared to what's offered in MOBA titles. Meanwhile, the game also features purchasable turrets and acquired minions that function in a way more akin to that which is featured in Future Cop LAPD, than anything that's popular in the MOBA market today. For instance your ability to hit targets with your basic attacks isn't constrained by semi-universal range properties and the critical system is based on your accuracy, making the game much more contingent on your ability in the 'shooter' department, than a traditional moba is on your accuracy. Everything you mentioned also features in Titanfall 2 for instance, but it won't be labelled as a MOBA.įor everything that matches a traditional moba, BB offers a number of features that are completely different. It's a very odd genre labeling to begin with. I don't think most people even know what defines a MOBA. I was just saying that the mode and character you play are very much deterministic of the manner in which the game plays.Įxcept in co-op or capture where you don't have to worry about minions, pushing lanes, or destroying the enemies structures. I don't think I was trying to 'sell' it as anything. Though as I say, it's difficult to classify the game as a shooter, if all you play are melee characters. For what it's worth, most genre categorizations of the game place Battleborn as a shooter, but cite MOBA elements, and Gearbox themselves have spoken out saying that the game is not designed to be a MOBA, but rather, a shooter with MOBA elements. Co-op and Capture don't play like a MOBA at all.Įither way your post reflects the very reason why I said any intent to classify it as either genre is liable to be very subjective, and at the end of the day it feels more relevent to the prospective consumer to simply describe the manner in which the game is played, than it is to attempt to place a clearcut 'label' on a game with such an assortment of differing gameplay systems. At least half of the game has zero MOBA elements other than the fact that you level up mid fight, and use powers.
