It's an odd marketing message. It seems primarily focused on telling you over and over again how long you won't have to play. It's over in 20 minutes, max! You can end it early by doing X! It probably won't last the FULL 20 minutes! I like the graphical style.
The only reason those particular characters are in the game is because they are all in public domain and don't need to be paid for, but still come with some recognition factor for most people. It feels very slimy to me. All of the "this game only takes 20 mins" marketing reeks of focus testing people on "What is your major…
Spot on with the marketing message, I thought that was a little peculiar with the 20 minutes thing. The whole trailer has the feeling of being passed on to a marketing agency that has never played a MOBA game before and decided to make a tutorial on what they learned. I can get that for a tutorial video in the game, but…
to be fair they do all that except the hero abilities. their USP seems to be that 20 minute timelimit and that you can win by points, and the trailer is stating all the ways you can win the game. also they mention that there are no downtimes where you have to go back to the base, though its all communicated in a way that…

Yet another company which was badly managed, by managers who doesn't have any vision or understanding of market they are trying to be on. Crytek should just remain technology company that focus on engine development and from time to time, make game…
I think the 20 minute matches is a great idea. MOBAs are constantly criticized for being slow paced and this is partly due to gold farming phases. There's really very little skill involved with farming gold, it's just a boring task that changes slightly depending on your hero and position. I'd also be welcoming of some…
I actually think the voice in the trailer is refreshingly different. But then I'm from Europe. I often don't get it when people complain about voice acting. Apparently a lot of people expect game sounds to stay within well accepted cliches :-( I also smell a dose of cultural arrogance when it comes to dialects (and female…
I've played Dota2 for over 1000 hours and I still suck at last hitting. Yes the concept of last hitting is simple, but being good at it is different. There are additional layers to being a good farmer. Controlling your lane, so you're on high ground or close to your tower. A lot of farming heroes have very low base damage,…
