Worst MOBA Ever? - Strife

[@trollgasm]

Game might come back, probably not. TL;DR Nothing is promised, but one of the devs has a temporary server up, and has the ability to push updates and access to the assets now. It's not a full team or anything. Could probably use some playtesters and feedback. Just don't get your hopes up and enjoy what it is. Join their official discord. If the link doesn't work, just comment a reply and I'll try to post a new one that isn't expired. You can read the actual details in the announcement channels. Figured I would post this and re-direct any interested people to correct place. discord.gg/nAeEwzyzZq

I remember playing this so long ago. I wondered what it became. Thanks for digging it up. It's almost like archaeology really. My experience was good. Like, the game was fairly fun, I racked up a dozen hours at least. I even played in one of those tournaments at some point, and let me tell you we got completely wrecked. It was as you said: the other team had farmed the shit out of the game and gotten way more upgrades than we had. Specifically, there was a potion item in the game that, iirc, could be used to gain health and mana regen. That item could be made stronger outside of games, with resources you got from playing, and when you'd buy it in a game (or maybe it was given by default at the start?), you'd get your own upgraded version. Well, in that tournament I played in, all the best teams had maxed it. We hadn't. The match we lost, we basically couldn't do shit lol. The enemy team would heal through all our damage with their upgraded potion items. Anyway, game was fun. It didn't stand a chance vs LoL or DotA, but it could have found its public.

I remember this game whenever I look for another Let's play of Strife (the Doom engine game from the 90s)

[@trollgasm]

I'm pretty sure the next game I'm writing the script for gave me a virus, and they definitely don't own the rights to half the assets they used in the game. But I got the footage. Time to reformat my PC! Looking forward posting it on Monday! And a reminder to anyone that wants to join us, March 17th next month, let's get on and play some STRIFE!

If there's a chance the game will be alive again I would definitely play it again and compete in rank games Btw i main Moxie back in the day

[@kaczan3]

Do you remember that MOBA by Microsoft that never left Beta? It was the first MOBA to reward supports for being supports. All roles were rewarded differently.

I loved playing strife, it was a refreshing break from league playing some new heroes in an easier game where you can noob stomp and do cool stuff. Playing Carter and blind sniping people in fog of was delectable. I’m glad you made this video, I didn’t even know strife was still playable. Years ago I tried to get back into it and found it was gone :(

[@trollgasm]

Check top comment, if you weren't already referencing that. Playable with small community currently. Very cool.

[@jomsies]

one of the best mobas ive tried. the item crafting system was fun. there was a small competitive scene and at the time i was abusing the item that gives you invisibility with malady since her skills are just in range of the detection zone. won a few titles during that short time with my team.

[@trollgasm]

I'm already calling it, Strife is gonna be the best game I reviewed on the list. Shame it died.

Just saying the algorithm does help small youtubers. I dont denerally watch moba content, I habe also kever seen this channel before or heard kf the game. But the videk seemed interesting and it turns kut the channel is under 1k subs and the video also hasnt even cracked 1k. Pretty cool to discover this video.

[@trollgasm]

It's a real gamble for me to just 3 days into a video, but seeing the work ethic give a result is satisfying, and glad I can give people good content. 😴😴

[@batman3981]

i don't get the hate, this game was absolutely amazing when it came out, unfortunately S2 sucks at keeping their games alive

[@AlexeiX1]

bro this is a good review, but may I suggest you tone down on your snarkiness or at least make it more obvious, its hard to tell when you are being sarcastic or not after a while. And for this review specifically I think it would benefit from a litlle more seriousness.

[@trollgasm]

Really good analysis. Thank you for that.

[@craniumarachnid4408]

yo the game is back

[@neeladrirao1196]

i really did enjoy this game i wish it came back

[@Koko-fp2pl]

Man I miss playing Buford 🤣

[@iliketurtles9719]

They should port this game for mobile imo on pc it cannot compete with other mobas This will work perfectly in mobile moba market maybe a few changes here and there and it will be perfect

[@yashrid]

Good video and good review

[@redwolfbp2729]

Strife was great, but too late 😢

[@davidbybee9930]

there is touch screen screen pcs most labtops

[@trollgasm]

I wonder if it played well. 🤔 Lots of mobile moba games seem to work.

[@yanneves5718]

Nice video

[@frescoclean]

A lot of the things the game claimed as differentiators back then were true, but league and dota eventually implemented those ideas. If you would have played strife back in 2015 you’d have seen it was actually a breath of fresh air. Strife is nowhere near one of the worst mobas ever, all of the negatives you’re pointing out are simply symptoms of the game being abandoned for nearly a decade. Frankly, the game was really nice on the initial launch and it seems like the brainpower behind it must have left the team shortly after. My guess is that the HoN team left and went to work for riot or valve and brought the few good ideas like rift herald and no purchased wards over to those games.

[@trollgasm]

Good analysis. Makes sense. MOBAs devs are cheap whores that take the best pay and jump ship. And there is NOTHING wrong with that, just something I've observed. Ice frog being the biggest one of all haha. Ice frog secretly worked on League, and HoN before dota as well.

[@totomen666]

Wait the hell, if this Strife ... made by same people who did HON... why it look and feels worse? they become talentless and lost money to buy normal engine?

It was better than league of gays.
