So I played about 10 rounds of dominion. Overall I had a pretty horrible time. I did have the benefit of having a friend play. But I wont always have that option. I often play games solo.




Anyways first impression straight away was that the rounds of dominion went by way too fast. I was expecting a lot slower paced matches. Within minutes you can be far behind. It seems like the point limit is was to little or that we earned way to many points way to fast.. Im not sure but the matches went way faster then I had expected and left little room to have fun or turn around matches.




The second thing that I noticed that I didn't like was the "Crushing" System. I just hate it. I dont understand how this could be anything other then rage inducing. Your just making it hard for a losing team to turn the battle around. Why not let us respawn and try to come back? What good does it do to leave your team mates out numbered in a game about one on one battles? Which brings me to my other complaint.




Getting outnumbered. It just is no fun. We need some more moves to either push back or trap the second player so we can can have a even battle. Something.. You cant just say "Well thats why you have four players there should be always be a player helping anyone outnumbered." Because thats not always the case. I know they kept saying they added environmental traps which I think helps.. but I feel if we just had more ability's to push back or snare the second player it would easily solve this issue. Maybe add a trapper class Or dare I say a archer who could help from a distance.


Lastly and I know this is a alpha and this stuff can and will probably be changed. Which I seriously hope will. The Menu and UI for the game is ugly and confusing. Would love a cleaner more straight forward menu. The whole overhead view of the land is just cheesy... Just keep it clean and simple please ubisoft.




Aside from that.. The stuff I liked was the amazing art design and great animations. Graphics looked great and I also like the UI while in game.
