Catalyst Black, a game you can't miss
When it comes to free-for-alls and battlefield fun, there's nothing more exciting than becoming a primal beast to devour your opponents in one fell swoop, and in Catalyst Black you can do that and more. Beastly transformations aside, here are some of the reasons why you should be excited about Super Evil Megacorp 's action-packed title.
Fast-paced combat with a custom touch
Super Evil Megacorp's stunning battlefield shooter allows players to battle it out with custom loadouts and skins that can be modified before each match. In Catalyst Black, you can not only change your weapons and gear, but you can also swap abilities with different effects that can radically change your playstyle during battle.
This gives you the freedom to be whoever you want during combat without the limitations of classes and abilities. After all, when you're fighting for bragging rights, you don't want to hold back from unleashing your full potential.
A unique experience made for mobile
Thanks to the game's triple-A quality graphics, you'll be able to enjoy seamless battles without those annoying lags. The visuals are stunning, the character art is superb, and the music is as exhilarating as the gameplay, which is something you'd expect from Joris de Man (Horizon Zero Dawn).
Of course, while the game is optimized for the touch screen, it also supports the controller to make sure you hit all the right buttons, whether you're in "human form" or "primal form."
Primals very cool and very strong
You can rain down death and destruction on your enemies no matter what weapon you're using, but after you've collected enough essence on the battlefield, you can transform into a "Primal" depending on which mask you have equipped.
These epic monsters not only have superior strength and health, but also possess a variety of abilities that can quickly turn the tide of battle for your team.
For example, Sunder is a massive force to be reckoned with, ripping enemies apart to channel their inner rage. He can take down an enemy player with just two or three hits; transforming into this Primal just when you're low on health is sure to be a nasty surprise for the opposing team.
There's a game mode for every mood
Catalyst Black gets rid of frustrating queue times with its quick drop-out system that lets you join your friends in a fight without queuing. There are also different game modes that you can dive into depending on what you feel like or how much time you have.
For example, “Hunter” mode is a 5v5 PvP battlefield where you can take down your opponents for points; the first team to reach the required points wins. On the other hand, the “Hydra mode” allows you to play as a team and unleash your inner strategist, as there are three ways to win against your enemies.
You can harvest 20 shards first before your opponent does, or you can kill the enemy Overseer before them. You can also just kill each member of the opposing team three times to get that sweet, sweet victory.
Catalyst Black is available for download from May 25, or you can pre-register right now through the official website for iOS and Android devices. It is a free-to-play game with in-app purchases.
