League of Legends is getting a Vampire Survivors-style PvE mode, Swarm - and it's a zen kind of carnage
Eurogamer's hands-on preview of League of Legends' new survival roguelite mode, Swarm.
The infamously intense MOBA is getting a new mode this summer - just temporarily, at least for now - called Swarm, taking characters from League and design elements of the recently formed "bullet heaven" wave survival genre. The next had a roaming Miss Fortune (another LoL champion) controlled by the AI and periodically using her ultimate - a massive burst of damage in a cone - which you ideally needed to lure enemies into in order to survive longer term. While with Jinx you'll be constantly kiting enemies and trying to keep them at range, Riven requires an almost unnatural bravery, balancing automatic abilities that trigger after a certain amount of movement, indicated by a gradually-filling cooldown bar.
