Modoyo confirmed details of its first global playtest for Heart Electric, the adrenaline-filled, magnetic hero shooter, currently in development on PC. Powered by Unreal Engine 5 and SnapNet, the game redefines the genre, allowing four teams of three to go head-to-head in an action-packed battle for life-sustaining energy. Running from October 24 to 26, the playtest introduces the global community to the Magnetic Flux. This revolutionary mechanic enables combatants to manipulate metal, soar through arenas, and outplay their opponents.
The Magnetic Flux is a game-changing power that enables players to traverse the battlefield at high speed, manipulating metal objects and triggering electromagnetic effects, fostering both freedom of movement and the ability to devise innovative strategies to maintain a tactical advantage. Following feedback from previous playtests, the team enabled the Magnetic Flux while airbourne, allowing players to combine magnetic movement with their playmaking skills in a host of new situations.
“Heart Electric is a true indie passion project designed by players and shaped by our community,” said Niklas “Figge” Fegraeus, Creative Director of Modoyo. “We’re inviting hero shooter fans worldwide to join us and experience something unique and innovative. The Magnetic Flux changes the landscape and offers levels of gameplay that will surprise even hardcore FPS fans, giving players new ways to outsmart opponents and have an incredible amount of fun doing it.”
Heart Electric offers a fresh take on the hero FPS genre, delivering fast-paced multi-team action. Four teams, armed with unique weapons and perks, must eliminate their opposition by depleting their energy while ensuring they keep enough of their own. Use the Hearts to steal Energy from other teams' bases, knowing they could set a magnetic trap, lure you into an ambush, or attract the attention of another team.
Killing opponents and having them respawn saps their Energy reserves until it’s down to the final two teams. From there, each player receives an energy overload as the dome drops and the arena starts to shrink. It’s now a race against time in a kill-or-be-killed, winner-takes-all showdown.
