Minimum: DOTA with robots and shooting

Posted on June 7, 2015 at 8:40 am

Occasionally I might write a title that is a little… misleading just to get your interest and, yes, I might have done it this time. Minimum shares some similarities to Valve’s all-conquering opus, but it’s very much its own game, albeit less popular by an order of magnitude. The game is played from a third-person perspective, much like Gears of War or Max Payne, as teams of 6 compete on a map with one main highway through it. That highway houses your Titan. As you run around the map killing each other and “creeps” you power up that Titan.
After the time period expires your Titan is released, walking down that central highway smashing all its path. The team that accumulated the most points during the previous phase will see their Titan gain the upper hand. It’s a nice tactical twist to the standard run and gun nonsense we’re used to. Plus it’s not very expensive!
