The game takes place in a futuristic world inhabited by humans, humanoids and cybernetically enhanced creatures. You have to become part of an international department called Overwatch, which should bring peace to the planet. Overwatch is a fast-paced multiplayer shooter designed for session play. In it, real players lead serious 6v6 battles, in which each player reveals the ability to act as a team. The outcome of the battle depends on the clear positioning of your role.

 And the roles here are as follows: a maneuverable attack aircraft, resourceful defense, a fearless tank and reasonable support. Each character, without exception, requires maximum knowledge of their capabilities and individual style of play. Also, the use of roles, and the tactics of the team as a whole, change depending on the selected mode: capturing points and escorting. In the first, one should guard or unravel the secrets hidden in the temple of Anibus. Accompanied, you need to protect or destroy the device with EMP, the point of movement of which will be Kings Row.
