What to Expect
Gameplay
Impression
Okay, now to the gameplay. In case you don't know how the game works, here's a quick rundown. Two teams of 2-4 players battle it out on various pitches (stages) by touching nodes of light that will turn into lasers with the color of the team that first touched them. They'll stay lit up on the stage for a short amount of time, but in that time the objective is to have members of the opposite team run through your team's colored lasers. Once all members of the opposite team have been hit by your lasers they are eliminated. and your team earns 1 point for the round. Earn 3 points to win the match, win 2 out of 3 matches to win the set and emerge victoriously.
Those are the basics of the game, now let's get into some more mechanics and tips that we found useful when playing Laser League. When it comes to the various classes, Shock is the easiest of the six to pick up. Shock's ability allows him to temporarily throw out a forcefield around his body that will stun any member of the opposing team and knock them down for a short time. If your own laser passes over their body while they're down they will be unable to play out the remainder of the round unless one of their teammates runs over that player's icon and revives him. The AOE (area of effect) of the forcefield is wide enough that you can even hit multiple members at the same time. It's a simple and rewarding class to use.
Besides the classes, there are some mechanics about the stages that you should know. Firstly, you can run through any of the four walls and end up on the opposite side. This allows for escapes of incoming enemy lasers and to catch your opponents off-guard with your attack abilities. Lasers seem to spawn at the same locations and times in any given match. Getting used to those positions and timings will allow you to get an advantage over the other team. However, after a game is over the node spawn points will change. At higher levels, knowing the exact patterns that nodes will produce will be used in conjunction with other strategies to force enemies to run through your own lasers.
Another helpful tip: in 3v1 situations have one player guard the bodies of the two downed enemies while 2 of your teammates chase after the last enemy. This helps dissuade that one remaining enemy from trying to respawn their teammates. Instead, they have to try to outplay your teammates 2v1, which makes it more unlikely that they'll win the round.
