Human Element is a 5v5 hero shooter; first details revealed

Robotoki has announced the first details on its upcoming multiplayer hero shooter Human Element.

According to the game’s website, Human Element will see two teams of five building fortifications to defend outposts while exploring an open world map to take control of five resource caches.

Once a resource has been captured the team will receive a unique buff, including additional health, higher damage, the option to respawn and power your defenses. The first team to capture all five resources wins.

The developer likens the game to “Team Deathmatch meets [Capture The Flag] meets Domination”.

“Each hero represents a specific survivor faction, each with a unique playstyle, ability, and weapon,” Robotoki says. “Build a roster of survivors for a variety of gameplay or team up with 4 friends to form a unique strategy to take on rival groups.

“Every successful supply run adds to your experience, allowing you to upgrade your survivor with each rank; unlock new abilities and weapons as you progress.”

Players also seem to be able to use a resource called the ‘Human Element’ to turn AI guards into zombies.

“Devise strategies to take outposts by using the Human Element against itself,” the developer adds. “Turn guards into fast zombies to cause chaos before your attack. Fortify your base with defenses and AI guards and snipers to create choke points for attacking survivors. Lure in a horde of slow zombies to keep guards busy while you flank.”

The first trailer for the game was revealed by creator Robert Bowling this weekend, with the full game due to roll out on PS4, Xbox One and PC in November 2015.
