VALORANT cleverly combines aspects of various first-person shooters, borrowing namely from the likes of Counter-Strike and Overwatch. It carefully blends tactical gunplay from the former with the character-based abilities and ultimates from the latter into something unique and fresh.
Instead of champions, heroes, or legends, VALORANT’s characters are called agents. They each have their own personality and four unique abilities, including a signature and an ultimate. Player accuracy, reaction time, and strategy are the main focuses of VALORANT, but abilities and how they interact with each other are integral to the flow of the game.
