We are all familiar with different kinds of sports. Whether we are talking about attacking and defending goals in games like Rocket League or outlasting opponents in an arena like Laser League. All of the sports game offers characters that have no real effect on the character they play as except on a cosmetic level. Steel Circus looks to change that by introducing heroes into the mix.
Steel Circus – A new type of sports game?
Similar to the FIFA series, Steel Circus offers players the ability to choose between heroes to play as. These are characters with varying traits and abilities that make them a formidable foe in the match.
The trailer is indeed very impressive and shows just how explosive and intense the action can get in the game. What makes the game stand out is how the game allows for a greater choice in player character, further details will be available when the game starts its closed Alpha testing in the days to come.
Microtransactions and Signing up for the Alpha
The game will offer microtransactions but all the content will be purely cosmetic. You can buy the game during its Early Alpha testing phase to get instant access to all the content for the game, present, and future.
