    Overwatch

    Game » consists of 22 releases. Released May 23, 2016

    A sci-fi multiplayer first-person shooter from Blizzard, in which players can choose from a wide range of Heroes with unique weapons and abilities. It was later discontinued in 2022 for the free-to-play sequel.

    Short summary describing this game.

    Heroes

    The game's playable Heroes are split up into four categories: Offense (direct damage dealers), Defense (choke point maintainers), Tank (damage soakers), and Support (healers and utility providers). The game's initial release included a roster of 21 Heroes. As of the release of Doomfist, this total was increased to 25 Heroes.

    Offense

    Offensive heroes are well-suited for dealing direct damage to other heroes and turrets, due to their high mobility and powerful damage output.

    Doomfist

    Akande Ogundimu: Nigerian master martial-artist, part of Talon's inner circle, and the third Doomfist. Despite being locked away in a maximum-security prison by Overwatch, Doomfist later broke free with Talon's help, stole back his gauntlet, and plans to start a new war with Talon.

    • Main Weapon: Hand Cannon is a self-charging shotgun built over the knuckles of Doomfist's natural hand, that contains up to 4 charges that do more damage at close range.
    • Passive Ability: The Best Defense... allows Doomfist to build up extra shielding on top of his HP (max of 150) every time he hits an enemy with one of his abilities.
    • Active Abilities: Making use of his eponymous gauntlet, Doomfist's Rocket Punch, Rising Uppercut, and Seismic Slam abilities can be linked together to leap into battle or deal large amounts of damage to an enemy in melee range. The Rocket Punch can be charged for extra damage, and do double damage to an enemy if they are knocked back into a wall.
    • Ultimate: Meteor Strike lets Doomfist leap out of the battlefield, then pick a target area and slam down to damage any target caught in the attack's radius, though the most damage is dealt at the center of the target.

    Genji

    No Caption Provided

    When his ninja-clan's elders manipulated his older brother Hanzo into attacking him, Genji barely survived. Then Overwatch rebuilt him into a cyborg-ninja in exchange for his help in destroying his clan, the Shimada. Though he has problems dealing with his new body, and drifts away occasionally from Overwatch, he eventually finds clarity in the teachings of an Omnic Monk, known as Zenyatta.

    • Main Weapon: Shuriken. Classic ninja throwing stars, which can either be thrown in a fan (made up of three of them, that spreads horizontally) or three at a time directly behind one another, in quick succession.
    • Passive Ability: Cyber-Agility. Genji's ninja skills and cyborg body parts allow him to climb most walls, better than his brother can, and also to double-jump in mid-air.
    • Active Abilities: Deflect allows Genji to wield his katana, briefly, in order to deflect most projectiles back at their owner. His other ability, Swift Strike, allows him to swiftly slash forward, striking anything in his path with his katana,which causes enemies hit by it to slowly bleed out. Genji can use Swift Strike mid-air, and upon killing an enemy with it, the cooldown resets.
    • Ultimate: Dragonblade. Genji unsheathes his mystical katana, and for a short period, the ability grants him faster movement speed. During this time, Genji can only use melee attacks, but the sword deals massive amounts of damage to enemies.

    A weapons smuggler for the Deadlock Gang in the southwestern USA, McCree accepted a deal to work with Blackwatch, the covert ops division of Overwatch, in order to stay out of prison. When all of Overwatch became embroiled in controversy, McCree decided to head out on his own, rather than to be involved in a Blackwatch scheme to seize control of the struggling organization. Nowadays, McCree will take on any job as long as it falls in line with his personal moral code.

    • Main Weapon: Peacekeeper is the name of McCree's trusty old-school six-shooter. He can fire bullets from it one at a time, or fan the hammer in order to fire all six in rapid succession.
    • Active Abilities: With Combat Roll, McCree rolls a short distance forward, and while doing so quickly reloads his revolver. Flashbang is his ability which lets him stun enemies for a short period, from a short distance, by hitting them with a projectile that has a small blast radius.
    • Ultimate: Deadeye. Always laconic, McCree drawls "it's high noon" whenever the player uses this ability, which takes time to aim fully. It can target and hit as many enemies as are in his line of sight, but kill-shots from it take a few moments to lock in.
