As already leaked, the game is a 6v6 third-person hero-based shooter. Heroes include magicians, robots, creatures, humans, and more. There are currently 19 different heroes, each with different abilities and playstyles that you’d come to expect from a MOBA including ranged, healers, tanks, assassins, etc.

Players have described the game to me as being very similar to DOTA in terms of its gameplay loop and mechanics. This includes killing enemies and creeps to get the in-game currency of “souls,” which allows you to buy items to make your hero stronger. According to sources, both creeps and enemies will spawn a soul upon death, which floats up and away when they die.

I don't mean any offense, but if you're saying traditional mobas are too fast paced for you, how do you expect to keep up in a moba style arena shooter? I've got tons of experience in both Dota and overwatch and without a doubt, overwatch is so much more taxing. As I get older, I've had to stray away from shooters altogether because I simply can't operate fast enough, yet I still have no issues with the most hectic Dota teamfights. It doesn't seem to be in the same ballpark to me
