Gameplay-wise, Protectors is a game that you’ll recognize pretty quickly. It’s got a bit of Overwatch in there with a dash of Paladins, using a 4v4 format to allow players to team up and take part in competitive action-packed combat that is sure to test your reflexes and map knowledge at all times. While I wouldn’t say Protectors is reinventing the wheel in any way, it is one of many options within the hero shooter genre, so it’s likely worth a look if you enjoy this type of game.
