[/review]Bigpoint is excited to unveil a new generation of MOBA games with Merc Elite and thus add an action-packed PvP title to a long list of successful browser games. Merc Elite is a military-themed MOBA game that takes place in the near future, where dominating the opponent is the prime objective. Boasting a direct-fire aiming system, exciting combat requiring precise tactical movement, a multitude of varied battlefields and endless strategic options, Merc Elite offers a new experience for even the most well-versed MOBA players as it marks the first ever game in the genre to be set in a near-future reality ? not in the realm of fantasy.
Set in a world where governments have faltered and collapsed, 5 multinational conglomerates have emerged from the fallout as the undisputable powers in a world on the brink of self-destruction. In the persistent struggle to secure the few remaining resources, the ex-military elite, the mercenaries, do the bidding of the money and power hungry conglomerates.
Players can choose from five different character classes and a plethora of high-tech weaponry as they hatch plans and lead attacks in rapid-succession battles. Be it through applying brute force, wielding heavy weaponry, employing stealth or hit-and-run tactics, or using brains instead of brawn to complete their objectives, players will find the depth and variety of the character classes available refreshingly unique.
Bigpoint releases information about a brand new MOBA game, Merc Elite.

SmashMuck Champions is an interesting entrant into the MOBA game-o-sphere. MOBA games have taken off as of late with the success of Dota 2 and most notably League of Legends. SmashMuck does offer the traditional gameplay modes and settings as you’d normally find in a MOBA games but also does a bit do differentiate itself from the pack.
The game features four different game types: Plunder Ball, Siege, Conquest, and Destroyer, along with very unique and interactive environments that change during gameplay to add a new twist to the player. These unique environments offer a variety of new strategies that are not normally used in this genre. The characters in SmashMuck Champions are far from typical, there are robots, blobs, dinosaurs and many more.
SmashMuck Champions is a must play for anyone who loves MOBA games, perhaps you might even replace some of your time on Summoner’s Rift!
