Concord review - a hero shooter that nails the shooting, but fumbles the heroes

Eurogamer's review of Concord, a perfectly playable game of snappy combat and colourful character abilities, with muddled heroes and unimaginative maps.

Firewalk Studios' hero shooter arrives several years after the bandwagon departed, boasting a roster of characters that, while not entirely without their charms, certainly wouldn't be Nick Fury's first choice when assembling the Avengers. Concord is a collection of largely familiar 5v5 multiplayer shooter modes, wrapped in a colourful retro sci-fi universe that, at the time of writing, mostly exists in a big black lore hole. Movement speed and agility varies between characters, but most of them are fairly swift on their feet, equipped with some amount of aerial acrobatics and capable of performing nippy dodges for which the camera briefly zooms out to third person.
