Valorant

Valorant is a tactical hero shooter game created by Riot Games and offered as a free-to-play experience for Windows. Initially teased as "Project A" in October 2019, the game entered a closed beta phase with restricted access on April 7, 2020, and was officially released on June 2, 2020. The development of Valorant began in 2014, and it draws inspiration from the Counter-Strike series, incorporating familiar mechanics like the buy menu, spray patterns, and reduced accuracy when moving.

Valorant Gameplay

Valorant is a futuristic, team-based, first-person tactical hero shooter game. Set in the near future, players assume the role of Agents, diverse characters representing various countries and cultures from around the world.[6] In the primary game mode, players are divided into attacking and defending teams, each consisting of five players. Every Agent possesses unique abilities, with each ability requiring charges to use.

Additionally, they have an ultimate ability that can be charged through kills, deaths, orbs, or completing objectives. At the start of each round, players are equipped with a "classic" pistol and a certain number of charges for their signature ability. Throughout the game, players can purchase additional weapons and ability charges using an in-game economic system, which rewards money based on the previous round's outcome, the player's kills, and objectives accomplished.
