▍About Closers RT: New Order
Closers is a 3D MMORPG for PC developed by Naddic Games and published by Nexon in South Korea. Naddic Games later published the game worldwide. The original game is set in 2020 in Seoul. Mysterious dimensional gates opened all over the planet and unleashed a worldwide invasion of hostile extraterrestrial life forms. The psychokinetic power it awoke enabled a tiny minority of humans to gain extraordinary psychic powers. Named Closers, these psychic warriors were able to turn the tide of war with these monsters.
As an adaptation of the MMORPG formula on mobile platforms, RT: New Order opts for a fully 3D environment approach instead of its original 2D side-scrolling format. The game followed the adventures of the Hippogryph Team, a new group of government-hired Closers that set out to counteract an ongoing invasion by the Dimensional aliens running amok in the city of Seoul.
Gameplay in Closers RT: New Order has players taking a team of up to 5 party members into a gauntlet of PvE encounters placed on a 3D map. By quickly swapping in and out of your party members, players can take on a variety of enemies utilizing character skills. Any party member not currently controlled by the player will instead follow them around as AI partners which assist in combat. In multiplayer sessions, players can join in on the fight as five active characters as they coordinate their moves to take down stronger adversaries.
Closers RT: New Order has a rating of 3.4 at QooApp Game Store.
