Spare a thought for poor Concord, a kind and earnest shooter sent out to die
Concord has just released, possibly to its doom, in a nightmarish time for games that require your contiunous engagement.
- to a part of the engagement economy - "Do I tick off some daily objectives in FC24 while listening to Spotify and talking with friends on Discord, or watch another episode of Star Wars while scrolling through Tiktok with intermittent breaks for Twitter/X, and my partner's voice note about what I'm cooking for dinner?" The stacking crew bonus mechanic, for instance, which sees you acquire a unique buff for each character class you switch between throughout rounds, is an interesting twist on the sense of in-game progression that developers at Firewalk took from their experience with games like League of Legends. Some guns pack a nice enough punch, and there's a lovely emphasis on friendliness for beginners in Concord's breadth of character design, with some a little mechanically simpler and with varying forms of homing missiles or bullets to ease you in, while others like the obligatory revolver-slinger or sniper requiring real skill.
