    NCsoft’s experience pays off in Master x Master, a pretty, modern MOBA with a successfully introduced fresh mechanic of swapping characters midmatch. [09/2017, p.48]

    Master X Master offers a unique experience in the MOBA landscape and the Tag-system works really well in all the different modes you can dive into. Sadly the Bridge and Menu are annoyingly busy places and the in-game purchases feel forced upon.

    Master x Master is a damned good time. It's not the best at any one thing, but it offers such a variety that you can't help but find something to enjoy.

    Master X Master is a quick, action packed moba that does not truly fulfill its ambitions. The game does offer depth with the tag system along with the many gameplay modes. But the environment, the repetitive PvE and the lack of focus are a disappointment.

Added to that a 3 v 3 arena mode as well as a whole host of PvE content this game really does take the MOBA to the next level.

    Try it out, it's free and the F2P system is fair, if a little grindy (i like grinding anyhow so no big deal for me). If the community takes off well this game has a chance of doing well even amidst the highly competitive MOBA scene.    … Full Review »

The fast and fluid action is certainly enough to keep me interested for at least long enough to remain hopeful that the game survives.… Full Review »

    There's a lot of refreshing pieces to this game, with not enough time to talk about the whole thing i'll give you the TLDR:

    PVP: using WASD    There's a lot of refreshing pieces to this game, with not enough time to talk about the whole thing i'll give you the TLDR:

    PVP: using WASD and aiming tactics; the game has a much higher skill cap than most games currently in the genre.
    PVE: a great dungeon crawling instance based team event that anyone can enjoy.
    Extras: the game itself has several forms of PVP combat and several PVE instances ON TOP of mini games and all sorts of different stages based on the day.
    The glaring issue:
    Hardware: somewhere along the way NCsoft likes to balk on the use of high end infrastructure. Their severs have a very hard time keeping up in some instances and i feel this could hurt the game in the long run if they start scaling hard. More people = more problems in this situation.

    This game has a lot going for it and i'd love to see it do well and enjoy a long life.
