The second season of Highguard turned out to be wolfish

Things haven't been going well for Wildlight Entertainment's project from the very beginning. The creation of the shooter Highguard proceeded without any advertising campaign, the gameplay was shown shortly before release, and then the free-to-play game gathered a large number of negative reviews. However, the developers remain optimistic: they have already presented the next episode (season) with a new character, map, and wolf mount. Let's find out how the action game has changed in the last month of winter.

Many gamers noted that the episode changes in the game, which was released last month, are happening too quickly. In addition, Wildlight Entertainment staff involved Blur studio in creating trailers, which previously released the anthology «Love, Death & Robots». This resulted in the very advertising campaign that should have been done before release. But let's return to the season's content. Among the available fighters, the werewolf Ekon has appeared for the first time. Usually, he acts the same as any other battle participant, but in wolf form, he becomes faster and can also attack mounts and hear the heartbeat of a wounded opponent.

In addition, ranked battles in a «three versus three» format have appeared. There are 21 levels in total, and everyone starts from the lowest bronze status, gradually moving forward through victories. The action game has added the Skydrift map with a lost city and wolf riding. Now, heroes have not only horses and bears for moving around locations but also the famous predatory beasts. By the way, «Skydrift» also differs in mounts: here, fighters must battle among high mountains, on suspension bridges and dangerous ledges, and special creatures — sky jumpers — will help maintain mobility and reach the palace above the clouds.
