概要
Highguard is a revolutionary 3v3 PvP shooter that fuses fast-paced FPS action with strategic base raiding. Teams of Wardens—arcane gunslingers—must fortify their stronghold, gather Vesper resources, and secure the Shieldbreaker artifact to breach and destroy the enemy base in high-stakes matches ranging from 8 to 30 minutes.
ストーリー
Set on a mythical continent where society is rediscovering magic amidst the ruins of a lost technological era, players control Wardens fighting for territorial dominance. Through pre-match banter and environmental storytelling, the game unveils a world where ancient tech has been repurposed into arcane weaponry.
Gameplay
The loop blends arena shooter mechanics with MOBA-style objectives and survival game raiding. Matches escalate from a fortification and mining phase to open-world mounted combat, culminating in a 'Reverse Capture the Flag' moment where teams carry the Shieldbreaker to the enemy base to lower defenses and detonate the core.
