Highguard Review – Fantasy Raids, FPS Tension, and a Lot of Screaming in Comms

TL;DR

  • What it is: A free-to-play 3v3 “raid shooter” where both teams defend their own base while trying to breach and bomb the enemy’s, with looting and upgrading between assaults.
  • What it nails: Dynamic map setup, high-stakes tug-of-war pacing, slick movement, and a hero roster full of style and strong macro roles.
  • What needs work: Hit feedback and audio-visual clarity in gunfights, plus some underwhelming Wardens and ultimates that don’t match the game’s pace.
  • Who should try it: Fans of Siege, Valorant, and Apex who want something structurally new, and anyone curious about where competitive FPS design might be headed next.
  • Why it matters: Even if it doesn’t become your forever game, Highguard feels like the kind of design swing that could quietly redefine what objective-based shooters look like in the next decade.
