Raise your hand if you’re a superhero MMORPG fan who really, really wants to see good mission maps. None of this office building #3457225 stuff. That’s all of you, right? Good. City of Heroes-inspired indie superhero MMORPG Ship of Heroes has a new video out today demoing one such mission map. In a normal city on Earth, the area would be the sewer — the area directly under the city. But since Ship of Heroes is set on a domed city on a gargantuan spaceship, the area below Apotheosis City is just… spaceship corridors.
Ship of Heroes first popped on our radar in December of last year when it became the fourth City of Heroes spiritual successor. Its April Kickstarter, which sought $400,000, was canceled by Heroic Games when the studio realized it was not going to make that goal. Rather than give up, the studio retooled its development plans and returned to work, with plans to release a smaller version of the game earlier than originally anticipated. Alpha is still expected to begin late this year.
The video is down below.
