Tantra Rumble, The Evolution of MOBA Games
As in most video games Tantra Rumble has a backstory. The game revolves around the fracture of Trimurti which broke an alliance between the gods and led to a war between them. This fracture also led to demonic entities known as Maras attacking the world. There are eight classes that play a role in this struggle. They are the powerful Banar which use area of effect damage and interruption effects, the strong Satya who act as tanky characters with taunting effects, the divine Abikara who deal huge elemental damage and the bloodthirsty Druka who deal high critical damage to single targets. The final four classes are the Karya who prefer ranged attacks, the Samabat who are powerful summoners, the heavenly Vidya who are great healing support characters and the martial art masters known as the Nakayuda.
There are many different gameplay choices and levels of difficulty which are currently being planned for this MOBA and TCG game. Gamers can play solo, with friends or with a clan. In all cases the game will feature balanced matchmaking. One of the many game modes is Dominion in which two teams of eight, one of each class, work to conquer four domains. Once each domain is conquered at least once, the center domain will become available. The winner is based on killing the center boss, gaining the most team points or having the most team kills and assists.
In addition to equipment options, Tantra Rumble has three different kinds of skills including attack skills, buff and debuff skills and special skills. Players can use four skills per character. Skills are gained by opening trading card packs, the rarity of packs increases the power of the skill. There will be physical versions of the cards available to purchase in stores for collectors. By using the mobile app, to be released for Android, iOS and Windows Mobile, players can access their profiles and assign physical cards to their account by scanning them. The mobile app also includes chat and news updates. The game will have full integration with Facebook, YouTube and Twitch.
