Paladins

Paladins is a free-to-play team-based shooter developed and published by Hi-Rez Games, the creators of SMITE. The game uses a collectible card system to allow players to customize their characters abilities during play. Players start with a base deck and can unlock additional cards over time. They can also gain additional augments on their characters through the use of burn cards. Cards are unlocked (or crafted) via Raidant Chests and Gold which is earned by leveling up characters via game play. Gold and Radiant Chests can also be used to acquire costumes and weapon skins. The game features nearly 20 champions with a wide variety of abilities and hundreds of cards with which to modify them during play. It offers players a variety of game modes, including: Capture and Siege: in which each team must capture an end point to spawn a Siege Engine used to destroy the enemy’s vault. Payload: one team defends while the other Attacks by pushing a payload to the enemy base and destroying the vault. Survival: teams battle each other and the clock as a fog slowly envelops the map. The last team standing at the end of a round wins the round while the first team to earn 5 points wins the game. Another unique feature in Paladins is the use of mounts to get around. Mounts can be used in combat in addition to their primary use of getting from one point to another more quickly. Taking damage while on a mount will result in being dismounted and a mount can not be recalled while in combat. Paladins is available to download via the official game website or Steam.
