The game just got updated, for those unaware it's a sequel to an old HL1 mod that's been in development for over 11 years. The plan was to flesh out the original PVK formula with redone maps, fancier source graphics and new classes to rebalance and add new dynamics to the game.
The game is a class based multiplayer game with 3 separate teams all competing for various goals, such as get a number of kills with a holy item in hand which grants perks to teammates nearby, collect and steal and defend treasure chests from the opposing teams, king of the hill, and other objective style maps. Combat is very deep with a variety of mechanics for each weapon, such as ricocheting projectiles, parries, dodge rolls, directional combat, launching opponents and there's various classes each with unique loadouts, specials and stats all essential to the make up of a team. Each map is also very well designed both aesthetically and for game play.
I'm sort of using this opportunity to nominate the mod for a game night. Whoever is involved with arranging them I think it would be a fantastic breath of fresh air. The mod is available on steam and I'm sure some of you out there can figure out a way to play it without Steam. Have you played it before? What do you think of it?
