HEATED combines RTS elements with FPS elements in a spin on the FPS genre. Purchase mining rigs to get as much gold as possible, while hacking your opponents to hinder their mining. Then, there’s the “action phase,” where teams use gold to purchase equipment to take down their opponent.
## About This Game
HEATED is a game created by Blue Method that features various modes that take
a spin on the FPS genre.
A combination of RTS and FPS mechanics
Each mode consists of two zones, the strategy zone and the action zone.
The Strategy Zone
The goal of the strategy is to obtain as much Gold as possible through the use
of crypto miners that are available to purchase. This gold allows you and your
team to purchase weapons, equipment, ammo, etc. to be used in the action
phase.
During the strategy phase, teams collect Iron through a different crypto
miner, which can be used to purchase Gold miners, Generators for power, and
software. All of these miners and generators are controlled by one terminal
per team.
To hinder the performance of your enemies mining rig, teams can purchase
various software and malware that can be used to hack and infect your opponent
with viruses, causing mining to stop, terminals to be disabled, and even
generators to explode!
Do whatever is nessecarry to gather more gold than your opponent.
The Action Zone
While in the action phase, players can purchase weapons, equipment, ammo, etc.
using the gold that they mined during the strategy phase. They are then
dropped into the “action zone,” where teams will have to compete against the
other in standard FPS combat. The objective can range from eliminate the enemy
team, defuse or protect the bomb, take an objective, and more.
Features various game modes
There are two different types of game modes; Phase modes and Action modes:
Phase modes are separated into two phases, the “strategy phase” and the
“action phase,” where both teams play these phases at the same time. The
strategy phase lasts for 5 minutes, whichever team has the most gold at the
end wins that phase, and it moves onto the action phase. Whatever team
completes the objective wins the action phase. A total of 2 points can be won
per round.
Action modes features the strategy phase happening in sync with the action
phase, where the performance of the strategist affects the performance of the
players battling in the action phase. One player per team is kept in the
strategy phase, where gold mined is used immediately to help the performance
of the players in the action phase.
RTS not your thing? Featuring Vaultheist
For players who aren’t a fan of RTS games, HEATED features another fast paced
mode called Vaultheist, where 4 teams of 4 compete to whip out the enemy
teams, and grab as many points as possible from the “vault” before time runs
out.
Players battle to get to the “vault,” a location in the center of the field.
The vault contains lives, points, and weapons that players can take. Once
inside the vault players are safe, but as soon as they exit they are
vulnerable to attacks from the other 12 players in the game.
Carry points from the vault back to your base to score a point. No more points
left in the vault? No problem, steal some from your opponents, and don’t have
yours taken.
