Champions Online Game Overview
Champions Online is a superhero-themed massively multiplayer online role-playing game MMORPG by Cryptic Studios
Characters
Champions Online features a robust character creation system. It includes the abilities to edit a hero's movement mechanics and editing the manifestation of their powers ( including color and form ).
Heroes have the option to have unique weaknesses and disadvantages. Players custom design their own arch-nemesis in the same fashion as their own hero (selecting a costume, their powers, their name and history), who will appear throughout their careers. If a player defeats his arch-nemesis permanently, they have the option to create a new one or finish their careers without another arch-nemesis.
Champions Online also features a paper-doll inventory system, and items physically appear on the character when equipped; the player may elect to remove the item from the visible GUI and still receive the effects from it.
The level cap is at 50, with special endgame content and gameplay at the cap.
Gameplay
Champions Online is action-oriented and one can use a gamepad to perform actions. Attacks are mapped to the four buttons, while defensive actions are mapped to the shoulder buttons. Successful attacks and blocks increase a power meter, which can unlock more powerful actions, which can be accessed by holding the left trigger to reveal a different button map.
Upon death in Champions Online, a player may choose to be revived by a teammate or respawn at a neutral site, except respawning does not accrue experience debt. Instead, the hero's upgrades are degraded. Upgrades are anything (physical enhancements, equipment, relics, etc.) that the hero will receive during the course of his/her career. When equipment hit points reach zero, they cease to function and must be repaired.
Champions Online also features an "orb system" in which when the player takes out enemies, they may drop orbs that either benefit or deplete the hero's powers, life, or energy.
