Crucible launches today at 12:00 pm PST on Steam and aims to stake its claim in the multiplayer hero shooter genre. When the game launches, players can choose from ten different characters and play through three different game modes.
Each character - known as a hunter in the game - has their own unique abilities and weapons, and can be leveled up to allow players to customize how they play any given hunter. Gameplay in Crucible seems to blend battle royale and standard multiplayer, with players able to harvest experience in-game that will allow them to unlock various upgrades while they battle it out against NPCs and other players.
